How Cedar Rapids Water Damage Restoration works
Cedar Rapids sits on the Cedar River, and the river is the first thing a local reader thinks of when water comes into a house. The City of Cedar Rapids records the June 13, 2008 crest at 31.12 feet, the highest level in its recorded history, and it says the flood water reached about 10 square miles, or 14 percent of the city. Those are the figures this site uses when it talks about the river.
The city's own accounts also describe the cleanup that followed. It reports 41,771 tons of flood debris after 2008, and it keeps a floodplain office that answers questions about floodplain land and repairs. A crew working here is working inside that public record, and it documents its work the same way.
Not every call is a river call. Many are a split line in a wall, a cellar that took rain, a sump that stopped, or a drain that backed up. The same order applies to all of them: make the place safe, get the water out, measure it, dry it to readings, and write it down.
The company on site is independent, and you can check its credentials
Cedar Rapids Water Damage Restoration is a call line. It takes the call, records the details and sends the job to an independent local restoration company, which attends the house with the equipment and does the work.
Cedar Rapids Water Damage Restoration does not claim an Iowa licence for water damage work, because none has been confirmed for it. The independent company that attends should hold whatever licence or registration its own work requires; ask for those details by phone on request, and check them with the body that issues them.
The licence or registration numbers are kept off this page for privacy reasons, so an out-of-date figure cannot be copied onto other pages or listings. The price, the scope and the record come from the company on site, and you approve them before any work begins.

What we hold ourselves to
Safety is the first instruction
Every call starts with the power, the people and the standing water. Nobody is sent into a wet room with a live panel in it, and the first question on the phone is always about safety.
Measure before deciding
What comes out and what stays is decided with moisture readings, not with the look of the surface. The readings are shown to you, and the decision is written down.
Write it down as the work happens
Photographs, readings and a removal list are kept on every visit. A record made on the day is the one an insurer, a lender or a future buyer will want to see.
Explain the price before the work
No figure is given on the phone. The price is explained on site, with the assumptions it rests on, and it is approved before any work starts.

Frequently asked questions
Who decides what gets removed and what stays?
The readings, with you. The technician shows which plaster, lath, insulation or subfloor reads high, and which surfaces have dried to the reference level. You see each decision, and it is written on the removal list.
Who actually comes to the house?
An independent local restoration company attends the call and does the work. Ask for the company's name and its credentials when it is sent, and check them with the body that issues them.
How is the service area chosen?
By straight-line distance of up to about 29 km from the middle of Cedar Rapids, which reaches the city's postal areas and the towns around it. Driving time is a different measure and is not used for coverage.
What happens after the work is finished?
You receive the final readings, the removal list, the photographs and the invoice. Those documents are yours to keep, and they are the same record any insurer or contractor will ask to see.
