Water Damage Risks in Choctaw County
Most of the water damage calls we get from this corner of the state start in one of four ways. Catching yours early keeps the repair smaller.
- Storms. Heavy spring rain and wind push water in through roofs, windows and doors.
- High water. Low ground near the Kiamichi River, Hugo Lake and the Red River can take on water when levels rise.
- Frozen pipes. One hard freeze can split a line in a crawl space or an outside wall overnight.
- Slow leaks. A water heater, washer or dishwasher can leak for weeks before the floor goes soft.
What to Do in the First 30 Minutes
A few quick steps before our crew gets there keep your family safe and limit the damage.
- Get everyone clear.
- Keep kids and pets away from standing water, especially near outlets, cords or appliances.
- Stop the water.
- If a pipe or appliance is leaking, close the main shutoff valve. If it is storm or creek water, wait for our crew.
- Cut power to wet rooms.
- Use the breaker only if you can reach it from a dry floor. Never stand in water to do it.
- Take photos.
- Photograph every wet wall, floor and item before you move anything. Those pictures help with your claim.
- Move what you can.
- Carry rugs, electronics and keepsakes to a dry room, and lift furniture legs off wet carpet.
- Call FloodSERV.
- Call 918-429-1911 and we send a crew from McAlester as soon as you call.
Our Water Damage Restoration Process
Here is what happens after you call, in the order we do it.
- Inspect and map the moisture.
- We check walls, floors and framing with moisture meters, then tell you what we found before any work starts.
- Extract the standing water.
- Pumps and extractors pull water out of floors and carpet, which shortens the drying time.
- Remove what cannot be saved.
- Soaked pad, swollen baseboards and wet drywall come out only where they have to, so the repair stays smaller.
- Dry and dehumidify.
- Air movers and dehumidifiers run while we check the readings daily, until the materials test dry.
- Clean and sanitize.
- Every surface the water touched gets cleaned and sanitized, which matters most with floodwater.
- Repair and walk through.
- We put the room back together and walk through it with you before we call the job done.
Water Damage Restoration Services for Choctaw County
Choctaw County water damage usually comes one of three ways. Here is how we handle each.
Storm & Flood Water Extraction
When a storm or a rising creek puts water in your house, we pump it out before it soaks into the subfloor and drywall. Floodwater can carry sewage, so we sanitize everything it reached. See our flood damage cleanup service.
Burst Pipe & Appliance Leak Cleanup
A burst pipe or a failed water heater can spread water under the floors in minutes. We stop the spread, remove the water and find the wet spots you cannot see.
Structural Drying, Dehumidification & Mold
The EPA advises drying water-damaged areas within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth. Source: EPA mold guide. We dry the framing and drywall and confirm it with meter readings. If mold has already started, our mold removal team takes it from there.
