During the June 30 to July 1, 2018 flash flood, the National Weather Service in Des Moines said record stages were set on Walnut Creek in Clive. Homes and businesses along the creek had to be evacuated, a reminder of how quickly a creek can leave its banks.
If water gets in, shut off power to the wet area if you can do it safely, move belongings to dry ground, and call for extraction before carpet pad, drywall and insulation soak up more water. Creek and runoff water carries silt and bacteria, so soaked porous materials usually have to come out and the area is cleaned and disinfected before drying begins.
How We Handle Losses in Clive
Clive homes near Walnut Creek and the Greenbelt can see water rise quickly when a storm stalls overhead. Sump pumps and finished basements are where losses tend to start, and a pump that fails or loses power during the storm lets water spread through walls and flooring.
Mold usually follows water in Clive homes. A basement that took on water and was not dried to verified targets, a slow leak inside a wall, or a crawl space that stays damp through a humid summer can grow mold within days. We contain the area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and correct the moisture source. After a fire, we board up, remove firefighting water from the basement, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Clive usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain or ice dams. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
