Water Damage Restoration - Done in the Right Order

Each stage is performed by the independent restoration contractor the call reaches; IICRC S500 is the industry standard that describes them.

  1. Step 1: Extraction

    Standing water is pumped out before it can travel further into drywall, subfloor, and framing. Speed here changes the scope of everything that follows.

  2. Step 2: Moisture mapping

    Meters read the material, not the air, so the wet edge is found even when the surface already looks dry. The map sets what has to come out and what can stay.

  3. Step 3: Drying

    Air movers and dehumidifiers run as a closed system until readings inside the material reach a dry standard, not until a calendar date arrives.

  4. Step 4: Verification

    The same points are re-read before equipment comes out. Rebuild starts only after the structure, not just the surface, is confirmed dry.

What drives water into buildings in Overland Park

Our local pros take water damage restoration work across Overland Park, from the middle out to Nottingham Forest South, Sommerset Brooke, and The Village Of Kensington. A Johnson County city where the neighborhoods spread south across the heads of several creeks, and half the housing predates 1990.

Housing stock

The median home in Overland Park dates to 1989, and 50.9 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Just over half predates 1990, with the older neighborhoods to the north and later building extending south. Basements are near universal.

Climate and water risk

Overland Park averages 40.65 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at OVERLAND PARK 3.3 S 1.5 miles away, with May the wettest month at 5.51 inches. May leads at five and a half inches out of forty-one, in the spring convective season when the heaviest hours of the year arrive.

Common water damage problems in Overland Park

  • Creek heads built across as the city extended southward
  • Basements in essentially every house, all below the local drainage line
  • Spring storms capable of dropping several inches in a single evening
  • Older northern neighborhoods on drainage sized for a smaller city

Frequently asked questions

How much rain does a spring storm here actually drop?

Considerably more per hour than the monthly figure suggests. May averages around five and a half inches across the whole month, and a single evening system can deliver a large share of that in a couple of hours. Drainage is tested by the hour rather than by the month, and the hourly extremes here are substantial.

The older part of the city seems to have more trouble.

Its drainage was laid out for the city that existed at the time, with less pavement upstream and smaller design storms in use. Everything built south of it since drains through or past that older infrastructure. The northern neighborhoods are therefore handling flows their systems were never sized for, which is a common pattern in cities that grew outward this fast.

Nearly every house here has a basement.

Which makes the basement the default low point across the whole city rather than an unusual feature. Any surcharge in the drainage or any saturation in the surrounding ground finds those spaces first. It also means the local experience of a storm is measured almost entirely by what happens below grade.
