What’s Involved in Storm Damage Cleanup?
Storm damage cleanup is a multi-step process designed to restore your home or business after severe weather. It begins with a fast emergency response and a thorough inspection to identify structural damage, water intrusion, and safety hazards. Next, the property is secured—broken windows are boarded up, doors are reinforced, and tarps are placed on damaged roofs to prevent additional water damage.
The restoration team then focuses on water removal and structural drying, using powerful pumps, vacuums, air movers, and dehumidifiers to eliminate standing water and moisture that could lead to mold growth. Debris removal is another critical step, including clearing fallen trees, damaged building materials, and hazardous debris from the property.
Finally, mold prevention and remediation ensure the space is fully sanitized and protected from future health risks.
By following these steps, professional storm damage restoration services return your property to a safe, stable, and pre-loss condition as quickly as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions | Cat 1 Water Restoration
Yes. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours after water exposure. When moisture sits behind walls, under flooring, or in insulation, it creates the perfect environment for mold spores to spread. Waiting too long to clean up water damage can lead to musty odors, structural issues, and health risks like allergies or respiratory irritation.
In most cases, yes—if the burst pipe and resulting water damage are sudden and accidental. Most homeowners policies cover water extraction, drying, and repairs caused by plumbing failures, but they usually exclude long-term leaks or neglect. Our team works directly with your insurance company to document the damage and simplify your claim so you can get restored faster.
Water mitigation is the emergency phase—it involves stopping the source of water, extracting standing water, and drying out the structure to prevent further damage or mold.
Full restoration is the rebuild and repair phase, which restores your property to its pre-damage condition—repairing drywall, flooring, insulation, and other affected materials.
At Cat 1 Water Restoration, our certified technicians handle both phases from start to finish, ensuring your home or business is completely safe and restored.
The cost varies depending on the size of the affected area, the amount of water, and how long the property has been wet. Minor water cleanup jobs might cost $500–$1,500, while larger flood or storm damage projects can range from $2,000–$6,000 or more. Every situation is unique, so we offer free on-site inspections and estimates to give you an accurate price upfront.

If it’s safe to do so, turn off the main water supply and electricity to the affected area. Remove valuable items, unplug electronics, and avoid walking on wet carpet or flooring. Don’t attempt to vacuum or remove water yourself—this can spread contamination or cause electrical hazards.
