Montgomery County Fire and Rescue reported rescues particularly in the Germantown area that morning, and said storm drains were overwhelmed. When drains cannot keep up, water backs toward foundations, window wells and basement stairwells.
If water reaches a lower level, keep out of it until the power is confirmed safe, and call us. We extract standing water, remove porous materials that cannot be cleaned, disinfect, and dry the structure to verified targets. Clearing window wells and downspouts before a storm helps, and so does lifting stored items off basement floors.
How We Handle Losses in Germantown
Germantown neighborhoods face stormwater overflow, drain backups and roof or plumbing failures after fast-moving thunderstorms. Basement flooding, sewer backup and storm damage are the losses we prepare for here.
Mold usually follows water in Germantown homes. A basement or crawl space 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 Germantown usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after tornadoes, straight-line winds, falling trees, and wind-driven rain. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
