Brookside’s storm drainage was designed for a community that existed 50 years ago. The system cannot handle today’s reality. During intense storms, drainage backs up, surface water pools across the neighborhood, and dozens of homes with deteriorated foundations flood simultaneously through mortar joints, pipe penetrations, and window wells. Every drop of that exterior water is Category 3 under IICRC S500 contaminated regardless of appearance.

Flood Damage Scenarios in Brookside
Storm Drain Backup Flooding
Brookside’s 50-year-old storm drainage backs up during intense rain, pushing surface water back toward homes and pooling it across low streets. That water enters through foundation mortar joints, pipe penetrations, and window wells, and it is Category 3 from the moment it crosses the threshold.
Pike Creek Corridor Overflow
Properties near the Pike Creek drainage corridor see creek-fed flooding during the same major storms that overwhelm the storm drains, combining riverine water with neighborhood runoff in basements and ground floors.
Community-Wide Groundwater Rise
Brookside’s clay soils and high water table mean a major storm raises groundwater under the whole community at once. Dozens of homes can take seepage flooding through block foundation walls simultaneously, which is why our crews coordinate across multiple affected properties during these events.

Safety and Category 3 assessment: we confirm electrical safety, classify the water, and map every affected material before work begins
Extraction under PPE: standing flood water is pumped and extracted with technicians in full protective equipment
Contaminated material removal: unsalvageable porous materials are removed and bagged for safe disposal
Two-step biocide and HEPA scrubbing: surfaces are disinfected and the air is HEPA-filtered to remove contaminants and spores
Structural drying and verification: the structure is dried to verified moisture targets before reconstruction begins
