Your Local Flood Cleanup and Water Damage Restoration Experts, Serving Your Community

Columbus’s damage risks go beyond just one bad storm. The Scioto and Olentangy Rivers both run through the city, and the catastrophic Flood of 1913 devastated Columbus and much of the rest of Ohio along these waterways. It’s still considered one of the worst natural disasters in state history, and it’s the direct reason the flood control dams protecting the city today exist at all. Central Ohio also sees a real risk of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, especially in spring, and Midwest winters bring long freezes that put real strain on pipes that weren’t built to handle that kind of cold.
Our IICRC-certified technicians take care of water damage restoration, fire and smoke cleanup, and mold remediation directly, all across greater Columbus, working as one crew from the first extraction through the final structural drying. We’re available around the clock, so if you call at midnight, you get the same response you’d get at noon.

Why Choose 24 Hour Flood Pros of Dallas?
24/7 Emergency Response
Water and fire damage don’t check the clock before they hit, so neither do we. We aim to reach Columbus properties within 45 minutes of your call, day or night. A burst pipe at 3 a.m. gets the same urgency as one called in at noon. Speed matters most in that first hour or two after water gets in, because that’s usually what decides whether a room can be dried out or whether the drywall and flooring end up getting torn out anyway. Our dispatch line is staffed around the clock rather than dumping after-hours calls to voicemail, so a technician is already on the way not long after you hang up, even during a bad storm, when everyone in the area seems to be calling at once.
Advanced Restoration Techniques
We use moisture meters, thermal imaging, and industrial dehumidifiers to find water you can’t see, not just the puddle on the floor, but what’s soaked into the walls and under the flooring. That matters in Columbus, where a pipe can crack quietly inside an exterior wall during a cold snap and not actually start leaking until things thaw out, sometimes weeks later. Rather than guessing when a space is dry, we follow IICRC drying standards and keep a running record of moisture levels in the framing, subfloor, and insulation. That documentation usually makes for a smoother insurance claim, and it helps keep mold from creeping in after the initial cleanup wraps up.
Local Restoration Experts
Between the Scioto and Olentangy Rivers, a real history of significant flooding, and Central Ohio’s storm season and freeze-thaw winters, Columbus throws a fairly specific set of restoration problems at us, and they’re ones our technicians deal with regularly, across the city and the surrounding area. That kind of repeated experience helps us figure out what’s really going on: river water reaching a property well beyond the usual floodplain, wind-driven rain that got past a roof seal in a storm, or a frozen line that cracked weeks before anyone noticed the leak. We know this housing stock and this terrain already. We’re not figuring it out for the first time on your job.
Customer-Focused Service
We document the damage and the work we do in detail, so you’ve got what you need for your insurance claim, and we explain what we find during the inspection in plain language instead of jargon. You’ll know what’s happening and when, instead of being left to guess. Whether it’s a home near the river or a business downtown, we treat the job the same way. Restoration is stressful enough on its own, so our job is to handle the technical side clearly and reliably while you focus on getting things back to normal.
What Columbus Customers Are Saying
The river rose higher than we'd ever seen during a heavy rain stretch and got into our garage even though we're not right on the water. They had a crew out to us the same day and explained why that particular flood was so much worse than usual.
A storm came through with straight-line winds that tore part of our roof off and water got into the attic before we could get a tarp up. They handled the water damage while we waited on the roofer and kept us updated the whole time.
The pipe froze and cracked in the crawl space during a cold snap in January. Didn't catch it until water showed up under the kitchen floor. They got someone out to us in Westerville the same day and pulled the wet subfloor before it sat any longer.

Columbus Frequently Asked Questions
We aim for a 45-minute arrival window across Columbus and the surrounding area, and we’re available 24 hours a day, every day. That timing can shift during a major event like a widespread storm, when call volume spikes across the whole region at once.
It depends on your policy and what caused the damage. Wind and storm damage is usually covered, but water from a flooding river typically needs separate flood insurance. Commercial policies work a little differently too, so it’s worth calling your provider or agent to confirm exactly what’s covered before assuming either way.
A straightforward water extraction and drying job in Columbus usually runs three to five days, depending on how bad the damage is. Jobs with contaminated water, river flooding, or a lot of material that needs removing can take longer. Our technicians can give you a more specific timeline once they’ve actually assessed your property.
It comes down to a few things: how big the affected area is, what kind of water is involved (a clean leak costs less to fix than a sewage backup or a river flood), how much material needs to be pulled out and replaced, and what kind of drying equipment the job needs. We document the damage and the work in detail, which also helps if you’re filing an insurance claim.
If it’s safe, shut off the water supply or electricity to the affected area, and move valuables and furniture away from standing water. Take photos for your records and for any insurance claim. Stay out of standing water if there’s any chance it’s contaminated or near an electrical source, and skip the shop vac or box fan. Using those as a stand-in for professional extraction can actually push moisture into areas that were still dry.
