Storm Damage Cleanup in Gaston
We handle storm damage cleanup across Gaston, from tarping the opening to drying the house underneath it, and we're out day or night.
Storms Here
Severe thunderstorms come through in spring and summer. Storms here can also bring large hail and damaging wind. If your insurance company asks for a storm date, NWS Indianapolis keeps a list of past events.
Where Storm Water Ends Up
With full basements common here, a big storm can bring water in from below as well as through the roof. That makes it a basement flooding job too.
After a storm we can be anywhere in Gaston, from Gaston Town Core to the roads around the Cardinal Greenway northern terminus and Wes-Del Elementary School. Nearby, we also dry out storm damage in Yorktown, Daleville, Selma and Eaton.
Expert Storm Damage for Gaston Homeowners
Leave the wet insulation in place until the crew sees it, because the opening the storm made and the water path underneath it are what your insurance company will ask about. Gaston Water Restoration documents both on Gaston storm calls, starting with the entry point and the moisture readings room by room, then the scope that follows from them. Crews dispatch within 2 hours and the file goes together while the work runs.
Aaron Christy founded the company behind Gaston Water Restoration in 2018. On a storm job in Gaston, the crew covers the opening, reads the materials and removes only what won't dry, then logs readings until the numbers say the house is dry. You get those readings and the photos in a file you keep, so the work is easy to follow later.
Water that came in at grade gets pumped and extracted before any drying equipment goes in. Crews run portable or truck mounted extraction over hard floors, pull carpet pad where it's saturated, and detach carpet to reach the subfloor underneath. Water from outside carries soil, so the crew sets up containment and applies an antimicrobial once the soaked material is out.
Start a list of damaged belongings while the rooms are still wet. Photograph each item where it sits, then write down what the item is and roughly when you bought it. Gaston Water Restoration photographs contents that shift during the job in your Gaston home, and the photo set you keep gives you a second record to build the list from.
Call Gaston Water Restoration and a crew dispatches to Gaston within 2 hours with extraction and dehumidification already on the truck. We'll document the entry point, dry the structure back to the dry target and handle the reconstruction after that, with photos at each step.

How Gaston Water Restoration Handles Storm Damage
We follow these steps in order on every Gaston job.
Moisture Mapping
Thermal imaging and penetrating meters cover every room under and beside the intrusion, plus baseline readings in unaffected areas of the same house. The map shows how far water tracked through framing and insulation, and it's what decides which surfaces get opened.
Water Extraction
Standing water gets pumped and extracted before there's any drying equipment in the room. Hard floors are squeegeed and extracted, saturated carpet pad is pulled, and carpet gets detached to reach the subfloor. Water that came in at grade also gets an antimicrobial treatment once the soaked material is out.
Daily Monitoring
A technician returns every 24 hours while equipment runs, logs moisture content at the same marked locations, and repositions equipment wherever a zone's lagging. Rain during the drying phase triggers a recheck of the stabilized opening and of the materials sitting under it.
Progress Review With You
Partway through the job the technician walks the rooms with you and compares today's readings to the first day's. You hear which rooms are dry and which are lagging, and changes to the plan get approved before they happen.
Photo Report
Entry point photos, the water path, the daily readings and the itemized scope go into a photo report you keep. The crew walks you through it, and you sign off on the scope in writing before there's any demolition.
