Why Raleigh Water Damage Shouldn't Wait

Water spreading across a floor inside a home

On April 24, 2017, Raleigh-Durham airport recorded 4.51 inches of rain, a record for an April day. Crabtree Creek rose more than 17 feet in about a day and pushed water into nearby homes and businesses. Most water damage is smaller than that, like a failed water heater or a leaking supply line. The sooner drying starts, the less chance mold has to grow on wet wood and drywall.

Raleigh's humid summers and red clay soil keep crawlspaces damp. Wet wood under the house dries slowly without help. We bring dehumidifiers and take moisture readings so we know when it's really dry.

Homeowners, property managers, and business owners across Wake County and the Triangle call us all year.

Where Water Damage Comes From in Raleigh Homes

  • Creek flooding

    Crabtree Creek, Walnut Creek, and other streams can rise fast in heavy rain. Many of Raleigh's worst creek floods came from storms that never had a name. Homes and businesses in low areas near these creeks take water first.

  • Hurricanes and tropical storms

    Storms like Fran in 1996 brought wind and heavy rain to Raleigh. Fallen pines and oaks can open a roof, and rain pours into the attic.

  • Crawlspace moisture

    Many Raleigh homes sit over crawlspaces. Humidity, poor drainage, or a slow plumbing leak can keep that space wet. Over time this leads to mold and soft floors.

  • Frozen pipes

    Raleigh doesn't freeze hard very often, but a cold snap can split pipes in crawlspaces and outside walls. The leak usually starts when the pipe thaws.

Older homes in Oakwood, Hayes Barton, and Boylan Heights often have crawlspaces with old plumbing and little airflow. Newer homes on sloped lots may have a finished lower level, where water can hide behind drywall.

We see these problems across Wake County and the Triangle.

How we help

How We Dry Crawlspaces and Walls in Raleigh

We start under the house when water has reached the crawlspace. Standing water gets pumped out, and wet insulation comes down. Then we dry the joists and subfloor with dehumidifiers.

Inside, we check floors and walls with moisture meters. Drywall that swelled gets cut out, and hardwood floors are dried slowly so they don't cup. We check readings every day and adjust the equipment.

When everything tests dry, the same team handles repairs, including subfloor, drywall, flooring, and paint.

Other Ways Our Raleigh Team Can Help

Every job starts with a free inspection and estimate. Here's how 24 Hour Flood Pros helps with the damage that often comes with a leak.

Mold Remediation service

Mold Remediation

Damp crawlspaces and humid summers make mold common around Raleigh. It often starts on the wood under the house, in closets along outside walls, and around leaky tubs. We stop the moisture and close off the area. Then we remove the mold and dry it.

Storm Damage service

Storm Damage

Thunderstorms and tropical systems bring down pines and oaks. Once the roof is open, rain pours into the attic and ceilings. We dry the structure, remove wet materials, and repair the inside.

Our process

Our Raleigh Water Damage Restoration Process

  1. 1

    Call our Raleigh line

    Call (919) 238-9459 any time, including weekends and holidays. Tell us what happened and where you see water. We'll send a crew right away. If water is still running, we'll help you find the main shutoff.

  2. 2

    We check the house and crawlspace

    A crew can be there within 45 minutes. We look at the damaged rooms and the crawlspace below them. Moisture meters show how far the water spread. We take photos for your insurance, and the inspection is free.

  3. 3

    We take out wet materials

    Wet insulation, soaked carpet pad, and swollen drywall usually come out. Framing and subfloor that are still solid stay and dry.

  4. 4

    We dry the structure

    Dehumidifiers and air movers run day and night. We come back daily to take readings. The job is done when the wet areas read close to a dry part of the house.

  5. 5

    We clean what got wet

    We clean the floors, cabinets, and framing the water touched. Anything that won't come clean is removed.

  6. 6

    We help with your claim

    We send your carrier the photos, moisture logs, and an itemized estimate. Your adjuster can call us directly, so you aren't passing messages back and forth.

  7. 7

    We repair the damage

    When you're ready, the same team makes the repairs. We replace subfloor and drywall, put in flooring, and paint.

  8. 8

    Final walkthrough

    We walk the finished work with you. Then we send the final records to your insurance company.

Creek Over Its Banks? Stay Out of the Water

Fast-moving water can knock you off your feet and hide open drains. Wait until it's safe, then call us to pump out the water and start drying.

Common questions

Answers to Common Raleigh Water Damage Questions

How fast can you get to my Raleigh home?

A crew can be there within 45 minutes. We work 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays.

How do I know if my crawlspace has water damage?

Watch for a musty smell, soft or bouncy floors, and cupped hardwood. Higher humidity inside the house can also be a sign. If you notice these, have someone check under the house.

Does homeowners insurance cover flooding in Raleigh?

Standard home policies usually cover sudden leaks inside the home but not flood water rising from outside. Flood coverage is a separate policy, and many North Carolina policies have a hurricane deductible. Check your policy to be sure.

Do you work with my insurance company?

We work with all major insurance carriers, including State Farm, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, Farmers, American Family, Travelers, and Nationwide. We document the damage from the first visit and send the records to your carrier. We bill your insurance directly for damage your policy covers.

How much does water damage restoration cost in Raleigh?

The cost depends on how much water got in, what it touched, and how long it sat. Drying a crawlspace can add time. The inspection and estimate are free, so you'll see the price before work begins.
