On May 26, 2020, a tornado damaged parts of Waukee, starting off West Hickman Road and damaging windows, rooftops and garage doors. Storm damage like that can leave a home open to the weather before anyone can make repairs.
When wind opens a roof or breaks a window, rain follows into the attic and down through ceilings and walls. Tarp the roof, board up openings and start drying quickly. Photograph the damage, keep wet materials for the adjuster, and stay out of rooms with sagging ceilings. Wet drywall and insulation left in place can grow mold.
How We Handle Losses in Waukee
Waukee sits in a part of Iowa where severe thunderstorms bring tornadoes, hail and straight-line winds. Damaged garage doors, windows and roofing let rain in, and wind-driven water can reach walls and ceilings even when the damage looks small from the ground.
Mold usually follows water in Waukee 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 Waukee 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.
