Restoration Now provides water damage restoration throughout Council Bluffs, IA, part of the Iowa Metroin Pottawattamie County. 24/7 emergency water extraction, structural drying, and flood damage cleanup for homes and businesses in Council Bluffs.
You shouldn't have to be the go-between for contractors and adjusters during an emergency. We document the damage the way your insurance company needs it, handle the paperwork, and bill them directly.
We invoice your insurance company directly, so your only out-of-pocket cost is your normal policy deductible.
Our estimates are written in Xactimate — the same pricing software insurance companies use — so there's no back-and-forth over numbers.
We take detailed moisture readings and step-by-step photos throughout the job, so there's clear proof to back up your claim.
Pumping out standing water is just the first step. Getting your home fully dry — inside the walls and under the floors, not just on the surface — is what actually stops mold and rot before they start.
Step 1: Find The Water
We use thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to see where water has spread — including inside walls and under hardwood or tile floors — so we know the full extent of the damage before we start.
Step 2: Remove The Water
Using truck-mounted extraction equipment, we pull standing water out of carpets, padding, and flooring fast. Getting the bulk water out early can cut your overall drying time by up to 40%.
Step 3: Open Up Wet Areas
To prevent mold from taking hold, we remove drywall that's soaked through (usually 12–24 inches above the waterline), pull out wet insulation, and open up baseboards so the walls behind them can actually dry.
Step 4: Dry It Out Completely
We set up commercial air movers and dehumidifiers to pull the remaining moisture out of your framing, subfloors, and walls — not just the air in the room. This is the step that actually gets your home dry, not just "no longer wet."
Step 5: Clean & Sign Off
Once everything's dry, we treat the affected areas with EPA-registered antimicrobial products to kill off any bacteria or early mold growth. Then your home is ready for repairs and insurance sign-off.
Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours of a leak or flood. Acting fast in that window is usually what determines whether you're looking at a simple dry-out or a full mold remediation project on top of your water damage.
Straight answers on timelines, the drying process, and dealing with your insurance company.
