Water Damage Restoration in Fenton, MO
Fenton sits on the Meramec River, and when the river rises it takes low-lying homes and businesses with it. We respond to floods and everyday water losses around the clock.
Meramec River flooding in Fenton
The Meramec reached record crests in the St. Louis area in December 2015 and again in 2017, and both floods put water into low-lying parts of Fenton along the river and Gravois Road. Properties in the valley carry repeat flood exposure, and saturated ground pushes water into basements even when the river stays in its banks.
Fenton Water Damage Restoration Specialists
River floodwater is contaminated. Everything porous it touched — drywall, insulation, carpet, particleboard cabinets — is removed, the structure is cleaned and treated, and only then dried. We photograph each step and record moisture readings, because flood claims are documented closely.
Away from the river, Fenton homes and businesses see the same losses as the rest of the metro: sump pumps failing in storms, water heaters and supply lines bursting, and roof leaks. That water starts clean, and quick extraction keeps the job small.
We cover Old Town Fenton, the Gravois Road, Highway 141 and I-44 corridors, and neighborhoods near Fenton City Park, along with Sunset Hills, Arnold and Eureka.

Water Damage Restoration Services in Fenton
Every job follows the same sequence, scaled to the size of the loss.
Emergency Water Extraction
Truck-mounted and portable extractors pull standing water out of basements, carpet and pad so drying can start as soon as we arrive in Fenton.
Moisture Mapping
Moisture meters and thermal imaging find water that has wicked into walls, subfloors and cabinets, so nothing wet gets closed back up.
Structural Drying
Dehumidifiers and air movers run to a measured drying goal, with readings logged every day until the structure is dry.
Contaminated Water Cleanup
Sewage and floodwater are Category 3. Affected porous materials are removed and the area cleaned and sanitized before drying.
Contents Protection
Furniture and belongings are moved, blocked up or packed out so they are not sitting in water while the structure dries.
Repairs and Rebuild
Drywall, flooring, trim and paint go back once the structure is dry, so Fenton property owners deal with one company from first call to final finish.

Fenton Water Damage Questions
Our Fenton home flooded from the Meramec. What should we do first?
Stay out until power to the flooded area is off and the structure is safe to enter. Photograph the damage before anything is moved, open a claim with your flood insurer, and call us for extraction and removal of contaminated materials. Mold can start on wet materials within 24 to 48 hours.
Does homeowners insurance cover Meramec River flooding?
No — standard homeowners policies exclude flood. River flooding is covered by a separate flood policy, usually through the National Flood Insurance Program. A burst pipe or appliance leak is different and is usually covered by homeowners.
Do you work directly with my insurance company on water damage in Fenton?
Yes. We document the loss with moisture readings, daily logs and photographs and bill your insurer directly, so in most cases you pay only your deductible. We work with the carriers writing homeowners and commercial policies in St. Louis County.
