24/7 Emergency
Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in Santa Fe, NM
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
Are these houses actually adobe?
Most of them are not. They are conventional timber frame with stucco over it, shaped to look like traditional earth construction, which means the walls have a cavity and insulation behind the render rather than a solid mass. They look the same from the street and behave nothing alike.
Why does the distinction matter?
Because the details came from the other kind of building. A solid earth wall absorbs water and gives it back, and its parapets and flat tops were maintained every year on that understanding. The same shapes on a framed wall send whatever gets past the stucco into a cavity instead.
What part of the wall does the search start on?
The parapet and the top of the wall, because that is where these let water in. A framed cavity behind stucco gives no sign at the surface, so what would be visible on a solid earth wall as staining is hidden here until it reaches a finish inside, and by then it has traveled down from the top.
