Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in Hilo, HI
From wind-driven rain to flash flooding, crews board up, extract, and dry the structure, then document everything for the claim. Storm and flood recovery starts with extraction and structural drying, then documenting the loss for an insurance or flood claim. Because floodwater carries soil and debris, affected porous materials are removed rather than dried, and the structure is re-checked as it dries.

Frequently asked questions
There is no standing water and the crawlspace is wet. From where?
From below. Pahoehoe is a network of tubes and fractures, not a soil, so rainfall that fell upslope travels through the rock and emerges at the next opening. A dry yard proves nothing about the space under the floor; the water never had to cross the yard to get there.
Does anything actually dry out here between storms?
Not for long. A 120-inch year with no dry season means assemblies stay near saturation, and the brief pauses are not enough for wood to drop below the point where growth can hold. The work is keeping rain out and moving air through, not waiting for a dry month that does not arrive.
Post-and-pier looks like it would stay above the problem. Does it?
It stays above the ground, not above the air. The crawlspace is open to a windward moisture load that never lets up, so the floor framing is bathed in humid air even when the lava underneath is not delivering liquid water. Screening and ground cover help; they do not make the air dry.
