24/7 Emergency
Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in New Richmond, 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
Why does a cupola leak?
Because it is a small building sitting on top of a large one. It has its own roof, walls, corners and flashing where it meets the main ridge, and all of it was built at a scale where details are hard to execute. Sealant is frequently doing work that flashing should be doing.
Where does a cupola leak show up?
At the ridge inside the roof space, and then anywhere along it. Water entering at the top of a roof runs down the underside of the deck and drips from a rafter or a nail somewhere well away from the cupola. Tracing it back up to the ridge is what takes the time.
Is it worth keeping one that leaks?
It is a fair question and the answer is usually yes, because it is part of how the building looks and frequently how the roof space ventilates. Rebuilding the flashing at its base properly, in metal rather than sealant, deals with almost all of these. Removing one leaves a hole to close at the ridge.
