24/7 Emergency
Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in Marion, OH
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 under the asphalt?
Brick, on most of the older streets. Rather than take the brick up, the city surfaced over it, so there are two pavements stacked: a rigid one underneath that was laid on sand, and a flexible one on top that follows whatever it does.
Why does that matter for drainage?
Because water gets in between. Once the asphalt cracks over a brick joint, water runs down into the sand bed and travels along it rather than leaving at an inlet, and it surfaces wherever the layers are worst, often at the curb line.
What does rebuilding a brick street involve?
Taking both layers out rather than patching the top, which is why it so rarely happens. A patch laid over a moving brick base fails again within a few winters, so the honest expectation on these streets is recurring surface repair.
