About Our Storm & Flood Damage Cleanup
Storm and flood damage cleanup in Rapid City is priced per job after a free inspection and is part of water losses that typically run $3,000 to $30,000 for homes and far more for commercial buildings. The Black Hills hand homeowners a long list of ways water gets in, and the response is always the same: get the water out fast, dry the structure to verified levels, and document everything for insurance. We do all three, around the clock.
This region's climate drives the calls. Winters that drop to 20 below burst pipes inside walls and ceilings. Ice dams back meltwater up under shingles and into your living space. Spring snowmelt and summer thunderstorms overwhelm yards and push water into basements, and a sump pump that fails at the wrong moment floods a finished basement overnight. From Rapid City to Spearfish to Custer, these are the emergencies we dry out every season.
Our crews extract standing water with truck-mounted and portable equipment, remove unsalvageable saturated materials, and set commercial air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the structure from the inside out. We use moisture mapping to find hidden water in walls and subfloor, and we monitor daily until readings confirm the building is dry. Because storm and flood claims live or die on documentation, we photograph and record everything for your insurer.
We respond to storm and flood emergencies day and night across Rapid City, Box Elder, Black Hawk, Summerset, Piedmont, Sturgis, Spearfish, Deadwood, Lead, Hill City, Custer, Belle Fourche, Hermosa, Hot Springs, and Wall. One important note: damage from a burst pipe is usually covered, while rising surface floodwater often is not, so check your policy. Either way, call (605) 555-0400 and we will get to work.

Storm & Flood Damage Cleanup Questions
What causes the most storm and flood damage in Rapid City?
The big four are burst pipes from deep-winter cold, ice dams pushing meltwater into ceilings, snowmelt and thunderstorms flooding basements, and sump-pump failures. The Black Hills freeze-thaw cycle makes pipe bursts especially common, and finished basements across Rapid City, Black Hawk, and Summerset are the most frequent flood calls.
My basement flooded. What do I do first?
If it is safe, cut power to the basement at the breaker before going near standing water, since water and electricity together are deadly. Do not wade into deep water. Shut off the water source if a pipe or sump is involved, move valuables up if you safely can, and call (605) 555-0400 for fast extraction.
How much does storm and flood cleanup cost?
It is priced per job after a free inspection and is part of a loss that usually runs $3,000 to $30,000 for homes and more for commercial buildings. Cost depends on how much water there was, how far it spread, and what was saturated. Sudden damage like a burst pipe is typically covered by insurance.
Does insurance cover flooding?
It depends on the source. Sudden, accidental water damage from a burst pipe, ice dam, or sump failure is usually covered by a standard homeowners policy. Rising surface floodwater from a storm or overflowing creek often is not, and may require separate flood insurance. Check your policy, and we will document the cause for your claim.
Can you handle ice dam damage?
Yes. Ice dams form when roof heat melts snow that refreezes at the eaves, backing water up under the shingles and into ceilings and walls. We extract the water, dry the affected ceilings and wall cavities with moisture mapping, and document it for insurance. We can also advise on preventing the next one.
How fast should I act after storm flooding?
Immediately. Mold can begin within 24 to 48 hours, and the longer water sits, the deeper it soaks and the more it costs. Fast extraction and drying is the single biggest factor in keeping a storm or flood loss from turning into a major repair. We dispatch 24/7 across the Black Hills.
