Water Damage Restoration in Coralville, Iowa

Water damage restoration in Coralville, Iowa serves a fast-growing Johnson County suburb that has lived through catastrophic flooding. The 2008 flood crested at over 31.5 feet on the Iowa River — the worst in county history — damaging nearly 800 homes and 260 businesses. Since then, Coralville has invested over $70 million in flood mitigation: pump stations, earthen berms, flood walls, duckbills, sluice gates, and raised bridges along the Iowa River, Clear Creek, and Biscuit Creek. All improvements were designed to protect to one foot above 2008 water levels. Water damage restoration in Coralville, Iowa is built for this reality: 24/7 extraction, verified drying, and rebuilds that protect a community on two creeks and a river.

Water Events We Answer

• Iowa River flooding — the 2008 flood crested at 31.5+ feet; the dam helps but exceptional events overwhelm it
• Clear Creek flooding — tributary to the Iowa River with its own flood history
• Biscuit Creek flooding — feeds into Clear Creek; retention ponds and berms now protect this area
• Storm sewer overload — pump stations are needed when river levels block gravity drainage
• Basement seepage — groundwater pushing through foundations during high water
• Burst and frozen pipes — older and newer housing stock alike
• Sump pump failures — power outages during storms
