Emergency Water Removal & Flooded Basement Repair
Rapid Water Extraction for St. Louis Basements
The Saint Louis, Missouri and Southern Illinois area has a plethora of basements that flood due to a relatively low water table in the river basin we live in. This is a recipe for basement flooding.
Disaster Emergency Services has the knowledge, team, and technology to quickly remove water from your basement, dry it out, remove any damaged items, and restore it to normal. We do it 20% cheaper and 80% better than our competitors.
Sewer Backup Cleanup & Sanitization
The St. Louis, Missouri and Southern Illinois area suffers from aging and underinvestment in sewer infrastructure in the region. This poor investment in sewer infrastructure results in a common occurrence in the area of sewer backups. Sewer backups cause human health and property damage, especially when they affect finished materials in a house.
Removing the standing water needs to happen rapidly, the sooner the better. Disaster Emergency Services can move fast to remove the water, dry the affected materials, remove materials not restorable, extensive sanitization of the area and then reconstruct it back to its original condition.
Professional Structural Drying & Dehumidification
As everyone knows, St. Louis is prone to storms and a lot of rain every year. Due to our position in the country, Missouri and Southern Illinois have a lot of storm systems that meet, causing tornadoes, thunderstorms, and other bad weather conditions.
In any water damage situation, structural drying, primarily through dehumidification and air moving, is the next step after water extraction (if required). Disaster Emergency Services has hundreds of the newest and best drying equipment available. DES can move quickly to get your property dried and then returned to normal.
Certified Mold Removal: Is Your St. Louis Home Safe?
Identifying “Hidden” Mold and Musty Smells
Mold can oftentimes be hidden behind walls and ceilings, where some ongoing moisture is feeding its growth. DES can identify the source of the moisture, recommending repairs to stop its intrusion, mitigate the existing mold and ensure that hidden mold stops being a human health hazard and stop the decay of your property.
IICRC & MICRO Certified Remediation Processes
Disaster Emergency Services is a Certified IICRC Firm, a designation that requires ongoing training and approval, and MICRO certified in Mold Inspections and Mold Remediation. Our certifications, training, and experience ensure your property is free of mold infestations post remediation.
Post-Remediation Air Quality Testing
For clients especially sensitive or concerned about mold and where compliance dictates, DES offers post remediation testing services of the air to ensure the remediation was successful.
We Solve the #1 Restoration Pain Point: The Insurance Claim
Insurance carriers and adjusters are looking to limit the scope and cost of your property damage insurance claim so reimbursement to you to cover our costs is less than it should be. Sophistication is required to overcome this challenge. Sophistication that DES has invested heavily into.
Indisputable Proof-of-Loss Documentation
Disaster Emergency Services’ proprietary Restoration and Construction Documentation application is utilized to document damage post a loss event and to document all events and work performed till completion of the project. This ensures higher client reimbursement rates from carriers, less disagreements, and less liability for clients.
Faster Reimbursement through Real-Time Data Capturing
DES clients tend to see faster reimbursement rates due to the advanced documentation efforts DES provides for its clients.

Locally Owned Expertise vs. National Franchises
