During the June 30 to July 1, 2018 flash flood, an emergency manager reported multiple water rescues across Ankeny, Johnston, Des Moines and Urbandale, and the National Weather Service posted a photo of a washed away vehicle on Pioneer Parkway in Johnston. Flash flooding moves faster than most people can prepare for.
When water reaches a basement, shut off power to it if you can do so safely, move belongings to dry ground, and call for extraction before carpet pad, drywall and insulation soak up more. Wet porous materials left in place give mold the moisture it needs, and removing them early usually costs less than rebuilding later.
How We Handle Losses in Johnston
In Johnston, fast rain on hard surfaces sends a lot of water to storm drains at once. Water that cannot drain looks for the lowest opening, often a window well, a floor drain or a foundation crack, and a sump pump that fails or loses power turns a nuisance into a flooded basement.
Mold usually follows water in Johnston 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 Johnston 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.
