Why did the customer contact us?

The flooding in June 2025 affected multiple schools in Marion County.  The school board facility team was unable to keep up with the amount of damage throughout the county.  They called Crossroads Property Rescue to help assess the damage in 4 different schools.  Water from the neighboring creek intruded into the school affecting about 50% of the property. 

Solutions provided:

Crossroads Property Rescue arrived on site immediately to assess the damage, determine moisture content of affected areas and bring in additional resources.  We were able to contain the non affected areas, extract all standing water, set up dessicant heat to speed up drying, placed additional drying equipment throughout the space.  We were able to protect all school furniture and property.  Flood cuts were made to allow the structure to dry properly.  The area was inspected daily using moisture meters and infared cameras to ensure that all areas were drying properly and mold was not growing.  All affected spaces were thoroughly cleaned and disinfected so the space was safe for students and teachers.  All demoed areas were then repaired - drywall replaced and painted, trim replaced and painted - all before school began in August.  Mitigaiton and repairs were completed in about 4 weeks.
