After Dardenne Creek floods, stay out of standing water, keep the power off to any wet area, and pump the water out before anything else. Sort clean water from sewage, photograph the damage and get the structure dried to readings. The creek flooded from O'Fallon to Saint Peters in December 2015 and reached major flood stage in July 2022.

After heavy rain, check a basement for water entering through window wells, the foundation wall, the rim joist and floor drains. Look for a wet line, damp carpet and mineral staining. The December 2015 and July 2022 floods on Dardenne Creek showed how fast a storm can reach a lower room.

Sort and photograph flood debris before it is removed, so the insurer, the restoration crew and the hauler all see the same record. Separate what can be cleaned and dried from what must be discarded, and keep a list of each item and where it was. Do not haul anything away until the record is complete.

A water damage claim in Missouri is decided under the homeowner's own policy. Standard policies often respond to sudden, accidental water and often exclude flood and surface water, with sewer backup needing an added endorsement. The homeowner documents the loss, protects the property from further damage and can take a complaint about an insurer to the Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance.

Flood-wet walls and floors are dried in a fixed order: the standing water comes out first, the wet zone is mapped, wet materials that cannot dry safely are removed and the rest is dried to readings. Drywall and insulation come out when they cannot be dried to a safe standard. The drying ends when readings match a dry reference.

To learn whether a property sits in a mapped flood area, check the flood map and ask the local floodplain office of the county or city. Levee questions go to the authority that maintains the levee, which this page does not name. A flood map answers where water may reach; it does not decide an insurance claim.

Hire a water damage company that will write a scope, keep moisture logs and answer the insurer's questions in writing. Ask what credentials the company holds and request them in writing. This page does not name a Missouri license or board for the work, so check each credential the company claims directly.
