Snowmelt seepage and roof leaks soak basements and ceilings. We extract the standing water, set up dehumidifiers and air movers, and take moisture readings every day until the floors and framing test dry.

Storm damage in Boise
Treasure Valley wind damage often starts small. A few lifted shingles or a loose ridge cap may leak into the attic for weeks before a stain shows.
Drying fast keeps the damage contained. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours, so drying early protects more of your home.
Boise storm damage comes from several sources. Summer and fall winds, wet snow, and ice dams hit roofs, and spring runoff raises the river.
Homeowners, property managers, and business owners across Ada, Canyon, Elmore, Gem, and Boise counties call us after storms all year round.

Right after the storm
What to do after a storm in Boise
Once the storm has passed and everyone is safe, these steps protect your home and your insurance claim. If there are downed power lines or a tree on the house, stay back and call 911 or Idaho Power first.
Not sure what needs to happen first? Call and walk through it with our crew.
Call (208) 618-2630What to do
Photograph the damage
Take photos and video of the roof, the outside, every damaged room, and your belongings before anything is moved or cleaned up.
Stop more water if it’s safe
Move belongings away from leaks, put buckets under drips, and close off rooms where water is coming in. Leave the roof to a crew.
Call your insurer the same day
Open a claim and write down the claim number and your adjuster’s name.
Keep damaged items and receipts
Hold on to damaged items until your adjuster has seen them, and save receipts for tarps, emergency repairs, and hotel stays.
Check the roof from the ground
Look for missing shingles, a loose ridge cap, and bent flashing, then photograph every wet room.
What not to do
Don’t go near downed power lines
Treat every downed line as live, and stay away from water, fences, or trees touching one.
Don’t climb onto the roof
A wet, damaged roof is slippery and may not hold your weight. Tarping is a job for a crew with the right equipment.
Don’t walk or drive through floodwater
Water from outside can carry sewage and debris and hide electrical hazards. Six inches of moving water can knock you down, and a foot of it can carry a car.
Don’t hire an unregistered contractor
Idaho requires contractors to register with the state. Ask for the registration number.
Don’t break up ice dams with tools
Chipping ice tears shingles and makes the leak worse.
Common storm damage
Types of storm damage we handle in Boise
Wind, snow, and spring runoff shape the storm damage we see across the Treasure Valley.
Windstorms
Strong gusts lift shingles, peel siding, and drop cottonwood and elm limbs onto roofs.
Ice Dams and Heavy Snow
Snow that melts and refreezes at the eaves forces water under shingles, and wet snow loads stress roofs.
Spring Snowmelt and River Rise
High runoff can raise the Boise River and send water toward low-lying yards, basements, and crawl spaces.
Foothill Runoff
Heavy rain on the foothills can send muddy water down into neighborhoods below.
Hail
Summer thunderstorms over the Treasure Valley can drop hail that cracks shingles and skylights.
Mold After a Storm
Wet Boise basement walls and insulation may sprout mold in less than a week.
How we help
How we handle storm damage
First we stop more water: tarping the roof, pumping out basements, and clearing mud.
We find hidden water. Moisture meters locate wet insulation near the eaves and wet drywall behind basement walls.
We remove what won’t dry. Soaked insulation, swollen drywall, and anything river or runoff water contaminated come out.
We dry and rebuild. Readings must match a dry room before walls close up, and then we repair the ceilings and basement finishes.
Where the water came from matters
Rain through wind-lifted shingles
What it usually meansClean water in the attic
How we handle itDried; wet insulation is replaced.
Ice dam meltwater
What it usually meansWater running inside exterior walls
How we handle itWe open and dry the wall cavities.
Snowmelt seeping into the basement
What it usually meansGroundwater through foundation cracks
How we handle itPumped out and dried; we show you where it enters.
Foothill or river runoff
What it usually meansMuddy, contaminated water
How we handle itMud removed, porous materials replaced, surfaces sanitized.
Water left for days
What it usually meansHigher mold risk
How we handle itDried right away with daily readings.
What can be saved
What can be dried and what gets replaced
In Boise homes, the material, the kind of water, and how fast drying starts decide what stays. These are typical results, and the inspection confirms them.
Tile, concrete, metal, and glass
Usually dried and keptThese come through river and runoff water fine once sanitized.
Framing and subfloor
Usually dried and keptStuds and subfloor usually dry in place and are checked with a meter before closing up.
Hardwood floors
Depends on water and timingMany North End floors can be dried slowly. Badly cupped boards are replaced.
Basement drywall
Depends on water and timingDrywall that wicked up snowmelt is usually cut out above the waterline.
Carpet
Depends on water and timingCarpet wet only from a roof leak and dried within a day or two can sometimes stay. Carpet soaked by snowmelt seepage or runoff is pulled.
Solid wood furniture
Depends on water and timingMost pieces dry well if moved off wet floors quickly.
Electronics and appliances
Depends on water and timingBasement electronics should be tested before use.
Photos and documents
Depends on water and timingSpread out wet photos and papers in a heated room, not the cold garage, and ask a document specialist about anything irreplaceable.
Carpet pad and insulation
Usually replacedBatts near the eaves that soaked up ice dam water, plus basement carpet pad, are pulled and replaced.
Upholstered furniture after runoff
Usually replacedRiver or runoff water contaminates the padding.
Food that runoff touched
Usually replacedThrow it out.
How to spot a storm chaser
After big windstorms, out-of-state roofers sometimes go door to door. Be cautious with anyone who wants full payment up front.
Idaho contractors have to register with the Idaho Contractors Board. Look up the number before you sign, compare written bids, and call your insurer first.
If something seems off, the Idaho Attorney General’s consumer protection division accepts complaints.
Help beyond the storm
Other restoration services we offer in Boise
Every job starts with a free inspection and estimate. Here’s how the 24 Hour Flood Pros team helps with each type of damage.
Wood stoves and furnaces work hard in Boise winters. Soot is acidic and keeps staining surfaces, so cleanup starts early. We remove soot, treat odor at the source, clean what can be saved, and rebuild what can’t.
More about Fire and Smoke Damage
Wet basements can grow mold quickly. We find the moisture source, contain the area, remove the mold, and dry the space out.
More about Mold Remediation
A windstorm can damage a downtown or Meridian business roof overnight. We extract, dry, and clean on a plan built around reopening, and we document each step for your carrier.
More about Commercial Restoration
When you’re ready to rebuild, the same crew puts it back together, from drywall to cabinets to the final coat of paint, so there’s no second contractor to hire.

Our process
What happens after you call
- 1
You call, we send a crew
Call (208) 618-2630 any time, day or night, including weekends and holidays. Tell us what happened and where water is getting in. We’ll send a crew right away.
- 2
We stop more water from getting in
We tarp roof openings and board up broken windows and doors, so the next rain stays outside.
- 3
We arrive and inspect
The 24 Hour Flood Pros team checks how far the water spread, from the attic to the crawlspace. We use moisture meters to find water hiding inside walls and under floors. We take photos of all the damage for your insurance. The inspection is free.
- 4
We pump out the water
Standing water is pumped out and drying equipment goes in. Anywhere floodwater reached is cleaned and sanitized.
- 5
We remove what can’t be saved
Soaked insulation, sagging drywall, and carpet pad come out. Drywall that stayed firm stays up and dries in place, so we only replace what really needs it.
- 6
We compare with a dry room
We test the wet rooms with a moisture meter, then compare them with a dry room elsewhere in the house. When the wet rooms read close to the dry one, they’re dry.
- 7
We make the repairs
When you’re ready, the 24 Hour Flood Pros team fixes the damage. We replace drywall, install cabinets, and finish with fresh paint. Our goal is to make your home look the way it did before.
- 8
Final check with you
We walk through the finished work with you to make sure you’re happy with everything. Then we send the final records to your insurance company to close out the claim.
Water in the basement during snowmelt?
Call (208) 618-2630Raise boxes off the basement floor, avoid the outlets down there, and we’ll pump out the water.
Insurance and claims
Storm damage and your insurance claim
Most homeowners policies cover sudden damage from wind, hail, and falling trees, including rain that gets in through a storm-damaged roof or window. Flooding from rising water is different. Standard homeowners policies typically don’t cover it, and flood insurance generally takes effect 30 days after you buy it.
Some policies have a separate deductible for wind and hail, so check yours before you start repairs.
Your policy decides what’s covered, not us. We work with all major insurance carriers, including State Farm, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, Farmers, American Family, Travelers, and Nationwide. We bill your insurance directly for damage your policy covers.
If a claim stalls, you can file a complaint with the Idaho Department of Insurance.
What your adjuster will ask for
- The date of the storm and what happened
- Photos and video of the outside and every damaged room
- Damaged items you kept for them to see
- Receipts for tarps, emergency repairs, and hotel stays
What we send them
- Date-stamped photos of each damaged area
- Moisture readings for every wet room
- A line-by-line estimate for drying and rebuild
- One point of contact for your adjuster

Boise storm damage FAQs
How fast can 24 Hour Flood Pros get to me?
A crew can be there within 45 minutes. We work 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays. After a big storm, we stop active leaks first, then do the full inspection.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage in Idaho?
Most policies cover sudden damage from wind, hail, and falling trees, and the rain that gets in through that damage. Flooding from rising water usually needs a separate flood policy. Limits and deductibles vary, so check your policy or ask your agent.
Storm damage vs. flood damage: what's the difference?
Storm damage is what wind, hail, or a fallen tree does to your home, plus the rain that comes in through the openings. Flood damage comes from water that rises outside and covers land that is usually dry. The difference matters, because insurance treats them differently.
Should I tarp my roof myself?
We don’t recommend it. A wet, damaged roof is slippery and may not hold your weight. From the ground, move belongings away from leaks and put buckets under drips, then call us.
How can I tell if hail damaged my roof?
From the ground, look for dents in gutters, downspouts, and vents, missing or cracked shingles, and shingle granules collected at the bottom of downspouts. Inside, check for ceiling stains and wet insulation in the attic. Have a roofer inspect the roof itself.
How do I avoid storm chasers in Boise?
Be wary of anyone who knocks on your door right after a storm, asks for full payment up front, or offers to cover your deductible. Call your insurance company first, get more than one estimate, and confirm the contractor’s Idaho registration.
How long does storm damage restoration take?
Drying out a room or two usually takes a few days. Ceilings, walls, or floors that need rebuilding take longer, and a roofer may need to finish first. Your estimate includes a schedule.
How much does storm damage restoration cost in Boise?
It depends on how much water got in, how long it sat, what has to be removed, and how much needs rebuilding. The inspection and estimate are free, so you know the cost before any work starts. When insurance covers the damage, we send the itemized estimate straight to your adjuster.
Can I stay in my home during storm repairs?
Often, yes, in the rooms that weren’t damaged. If the roof is open, the power is off, or floodwater reached the living areas, it may make sense to stay somewhere else. We’ll tell you what we see after the inspection.
