24/7 Emergency
Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in Boone, NC
The opening is closed, the water is extracted, materials floodwater touched come out, and the structure is dried and rebuilt in that order. The opening is closed first, with tarps or board-up, so the building stops taking on water. Floodwater is extracted, and the porous materials it touched come out rather than dry, since it crossed ground outside. The structure is dried and re-read, and the rebuild waits until the readings and the roof both allow it.

Often needed alongside
- Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows.
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup
Sewage and black-water losses are contained, the materials the water touched are removed and disposed of, hard surfaces are disinfected, and the space is dried to a reading.
Frequently asked questions
What is rime ice?
Ice that forms directly out of fog when the droplets freeze on contact with a surface. At this elevation the town spends a good deal of the winter inside the cloud, so it builds on roofs, gutters, vents and railings without rain.
Why does that matter more than snow?
Because it coats rather than lands. Snow sits on horizontal surfaces and can be cleared; rime forms on every face including the undersides, so it blocks vents, seals gutters shut and loads things that were never designed to carry it.
What does it mean for drying out a building?
That the outside is no help for months. A wall here spends long stretches at a hundred percent humidity inside cloud, so nothing dries outward, and any drying has to be done entirely from within the building. Equipment has to do the whole job, and it has to keep doing it for longer than it would lower down.
