When Kentucky Flooding Strikes, Restoration Experience Matters

Recent heavy rain and flooding across Central and Eastern Kentucky are a reminder of how quickly water can turn a normal day into an emergency. Floodwater can enter basements, crawlspaces, homes and businesses in minutes, while moisture can continue moving into flooring, drywall, insulation, structural framing and other materials long after the visible water is gone.

When Disaster Hits, Experience Matters

At Phoenix Remediation & Restoration, our approach is built around professional training, real-world catastrophe experience, proper moisture evaluation, documentation and a clear understanding of the restoration process. Equipment is important, but knowing how and why to use it is what turns water removal into professional water damage mitigation.

Jason Hunter brings hands-on disaster restoration experience from Hurricane Michael, Hurricane Florence, Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Ivan, along with multiple major flooding events throughout Kentucky. Over the course of his restoration career, he has handled more than 1,000 insurance claims and hundreds of FEMA-related claims.

Professional Restoration Certifications and Mold Inspection Training

Jason's IICRC certifications include Water Damage Restoration Technician (WRT), Applied Structural Drying (ASD), Applied Microbial Remediation Technician (AMRT), Fire & Smoke Restoration Technician (FSRT), and Odor Control Technician (OCT). His additional training includes InterNACHI Advanced Mold Inspection Training, InterNACHI How to Perform Mold Inspections training, and Xactimate Level 1 certification.

Why Professional Structural Drying Matters After a Flood

Standing water is only the most obvious part of a water loss. Moisture can migrate underneath finished flooring, behind walls, into insulation, cabinets, subfloors, sill plates, floor joists and crawlspaces. Simply removing visible water does not confirm that the structure is dry.

A professional mitigation process may include water extraction, moisture mapping, controlled demolition when necessary, air movement, dehumidification, monitoring and documentation of drying progress. Floodwater and sewage losses may also require additional contamination controls and cleaning procedures based on the conditions present.

What Should You Do If Your Property Takes on Water?

First, protect people. Never enter moving floodwater or an area where electrical hazards may be present. Once the property can be accessed safely, document visible damage and begin addressing water intrusion as quickly as practical. The longer moisture remains in building materials, the more complicated the restoration can become.
