Hurricane season runs June through November, and New Orleans takes on water from above and below: wind-driven rain through damaged roofs, overtopped drainage canals, and street flooding that pushes through doors and weep holes. We handle the full post-storm scope — extraction, debris, sanitation, and drying.
Storm flooding in New Orleans is rarely clean water. Street surge mixes with sewage, chemicals, and debris, which means porous materials — drywall below the flood line, insulation, carpet — almost always must come out. Homes in Gentilly, Broadmoor, Lakeview, and the Lower Ninth Ward see repeated street flooding even from strong thunderstorms, and the high water table slows natural drying for weeks without equipment.
Yes. Storm surge and street flooding in New Orleans is classified as Category 3 water — it typically contains sewage, fuel, and bacteria. Porous materials it touches usually must be removed, and remaining surfaces need antimicrobial treatment.
Yes. We staff up June through November and respond as soon as conditions are safe after a storm. Calling early matters — demand for equipment and crews spikes citywide after any named storm.
Wind-driven rain damage is usually covered by a standard homeowner’s policy; rising-water flood damage typically requires a separate NFIP or private flood policy. We document the water source and flood line carefully so your claim reflects the actual cause of loss.
Standing water removed fast — truck-mounted and portable extraction for any floor level.
Supply-line bursts, slab leaks, and failed water heaters — dried out before mold takes hold.
Category 3 contamination removed, sanitized, and verified — safe for your family again.
