Flooding Check
Post-flood structural and moisture inspection.
After flooding, the damage you can see is rarely the worst damage. NextGen HIG inspects flood-affected homes for hidden moisture, structural compromise, and long-term risks — before mold, rot, and settlement become emergencies.
Our flooding check covers the roof (for wind-driven storm damage during the same event), siding and weather barrier, foundation and masonry for water intrusion or settlement, and interior moisture where accessible.
We deliver a written report with photos, prioritized recommendations, and insurance-ready documentation. For clients filing flood or homeowners claims, we coordinate with adjusters.
Every flooding check project includes
Exterior Inspection
Roof, siding, masonry, and weather barriers for storm-related damage.
Foundation Check
Foundation masonry and visible moisture or settlement concerns.
Moisture Mapping
Where accessible — visible water lines, staining, and moisture indicators.
Photo Documentation
Comprehensive photo record for insurance and planning.
Written Report
Findings, severity, and prioritized recommendations.
Insurance Coordination
Documentation formatted for flood or homeowners claims.
Signs you need flooding check
Catch these early and flooding check repairs stay simple — ignore them and you're paying for interior damage on top of the exterior fix.
Recent flooding or major water event on property
Any event where water entered the basement, first floor, or crawl space warrants a post-flood inspection — visible damage is rarely the worst damage.
Visible water lines on walls or siding
Stains indicating water height tell us how long water sat where, and help prioritize which systems took the most impact.
Cracked or shifted foundation masonry
Water-saturated soil creates hydrostatic pressure that can crack foundation walls, shift footings, or undermine retaining systems. These issues often emerge weeks after the water recedes.
Damp or musty interior smells
Post-flood moisture hides in wall cavities, under flooring, and in insulation. Early documentation lets mitigation start before mold takes hold.
Storm damage alongside the flooding
Major storms cause simultaneous roof, siding, and flood damage. Each may be a separate claim — documentation needs to distinguish wind/rain damage from rising-water damage.
Preparing insurance or FEMA claims
Claims need photo-documented, dated findings with severity ratings. Our reports are formatted specifically for NFIP, homeowners, and FEMA supporting documentation.
