Documentation for your insurance claim
Adjusters pay on documentation. The mitigation team builds the file while the drying runs, so the record matches what was wet and what was done.
- A moisture map of every wet room, wall and floor
- Daily psychrometric logs that show the drying progress
- Timestamped photos taken before any demolition
- The water category and class of loss, written down
- An itemized scope in the Xactimate style adjusters use
Check your own policy
Sudden and accidental water, like a burst supply pipe or an AC overflow, is often covered by a homeowners policy. Rising water from the street falls under flood insurance, which is a separate policy.
Hurricane wind and rain claims in Louisiana often carry their own hurricane deductible. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.

Why Marrero homes take on water
Marrero sits on low, soft delta ground on the West Bank, behind levees and pump-fed drainage canals, with more than 60 inches of rain a year and a June to November hurricane season.
Hurricane wind and rain
Storms like Ida in 2021 tore shingles and flashing off West Bank roofs and drove rain into attics and ceilings.
Street flooding in heavy bursts
A slow band of thunderstorms can drop rain faster than the pumps clear it, so water ponds in low streets and reaches the door.
Settling slabs
Soft clay and organic soils keep settling, which cracks drains and supply pipes under slab-on-grade homes.
Attic air handlers
Air conditioning runs most of the year, and a clogged condensate drain overflows straight into the ceiling below.
Hard freezes, now and then
Rare freezes such as February 2021 and January 2025 split exposed pipes in homes built for heat, not cold.
May 8, 1995
Well over a foot of rain fell on parts of Jefferson Parish in less than a day, and thousands of homes across the area took on water.
Water damage questions from Marrero homeowners
Water on the floor right now?
Stop the source if you safely can, then call. The extraction crew arrives with pumps, meters and dehumidifiers, day or night.
(888) 417-5665 Reach West Bank dispatch nowHow fast does someone respond to water damage in Marrero?
Dispatch runs 24/7, and active water is treated as urgent at any hour. Timing depends on weather, roads and how many homes a storm has hit, so share the street and what got wet when you call.
Should I open the windows to help the house dry?
Usually not. Outdoor air in Marrero is often wetter than the air inside, so open windows slow drying. The drying team closes the room and runs dehumidifiers instead.
Is water from a flooded street treated differently from a pipe leak?
Yes. Water that comes in from the street is Category 3 from the start, because it carries sewage, soil and chemicals. Carpet, pad, insulation and drywall it touched are removed rather than dried.
Does homeowners insurance cover hurricane water damage in Louisiana?
Rain that enters through storm damage to the roof or windows is often covered by a homeowners policy, usually with a separate hurricane deductible. Rising water is a flood insurance matter. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
How long does drying take?
A contained Class 1 loss usually dries in three to five days. Soaked walls, hardwood or a concrete slab take longer, and the drying time estimator shows a typical window.
What is the IICRC S500 standard?
It is the industry standard for drying a water-damaged building. It covers how to set the water category and class, where to take readings and when a material counts as dry: within 2 to 4 points of a dry reference.
When does drywall have to come out?
When it wicked Category 2 or 3 water, when it stays wet after drying, or when the insulation behind it is soaked. The crew usually cuts a few inches above the highest wet reading so the cavity can dry.
Why does my ceiling leak when the air conditioning runs?
Most Marrero air handlers sit in the attic. When the condensate drain clogs, the pan fills and spills onto the ceiling. The AC condensate overflow cleanup page covers the drying.
What is the difference between mitigation and repair?
Mitigation stops the damage: extraction, removal of ruined materials and drying. Repair puts the home back together afterward. Mitigation comes first, and most policies expect it to start quickly.
Why is sewage cleanup handled differently?
Sewage backup is Category 3 the moment it happens. The crew sets containment, wears protective gear, removes porous materials it touched and treats the area with an EPA-registered antimicrobial before drying.
