Kansas City water damage cleanup and restoration
Kansas City sits in severe weather country: spring and summer bring hail, high winds and heavy rain, and flash floods along creeks like Brush Creek can rise fast. Winter ice storms and arctic cold freeze pipes, and the region's clay soil shifts foundations and lets water into basements.

My Kansas City home had hail damage. Could there be water damage too?
Yes. Hail can crack shingles and flashing, letting water into the attic slowly. Check for ceiling stains and damp insulation in the weeks after a storm.
Do I need a permit for repairs in Kansas City?
Many plumbing, electrical and structural repairs need a permit from the city where you live; the metro spans two states and many municipalities. Ask your contractor.
What should I do if my Kansas City basement floods after a storm?
Stay out of the water if outlets or appliances are submerged, and turn off power to the basement if you can reach the panel safely. Photograph everything, then get the water pumped out and drying started within 24 to 48 hours. If water came up through floor drains, treat it as sewage.
