How NCRI Restores Large-Scale Flooded Facilities After Natural Disasters

When a flood hits, the damage isn’t just wet floors—it’s halted operations, safety hazards, and millions in potential losses. That’s why NCRI’s Large-Loss Division specializes in rapid, nationwide flood restoration for commercial and industrial properties.

Step 1: Rapid Emergency Response

Our teams mobilize within hours of a disaster. With nationwide coverage, NCRI dispatches certified crews, drying trailers, and power generation equipment directly to affected sites.

We secure the property, stop further water intrusion, and begin damage assessment immediately.

Step 2: Assessment & Documentation

Every restoration starts with a detailed loss evaluation:

• Moisture mapping of all affected areas
• Structural integrity checks
• Safety and contamination assessments
• Digital photo and thermal imaging documentation

This information is shared with insurance carriers to streamline claims.

Step 3: Extraction, Drying & Environmental Control

NCRI deploys industrial desiccant dehumidifiers and high-volume extraction pumps capable of handling millions of gallons. Our command centers continuously track humidity, temperature, and drying progress to maintain optimal conditions.

Step 4: Cleaning & Sanitization

Floodwaters often carry bacteria, chemicals, and debris. NCRI performs full environmental cleaning, disinfection, and odor removal before rebuilding begins.

• Drywall and flooring replacement
• Electrical and mechanical restoration
• Roof and insulation repair
• Final safety inspections and occupancy certification
