Project Overview
When unexpected storms hit Imperial, Missouri, on March 16, 2025, severe winds lifted a corner of a homeowner’s roof, stripping sections of shingles and underlayment. As rain quickly followed, significant water damage affected multiple areas of the home — including the dining room, garage, foyer, and even the basement.
The homeowner contacted MRC Restoration immediately. Thanks to our fast emergency response, we were able to stabilize the property, extract water, and prevent more extensive structural damage. Our close partnership with Bades Roofing also allowed for one of the first roof replacements completed in the area following the storm, saving the home from additional weather-related damage.
Project Details
1. Emergency Response and Damage Assessment
Within hours of receiving the call, our certified water damage restoration team arrived on-site to perform a full inspection. We discovered:
Rainwater had penetrated through the exposed roof.
The dining room flooring and drywall were saturated.
Garage walls and ceilings had visible water staining.
The foyer had standing water and warped baseboards.
Basement ceiling tiles had collapsed under the water load, and the basement flooring had absorbed significant moisture.
Immediate action was necessary to prevent mold growth and secondary damage.
2. Water Extraction and Drying
MRC Restoration technicians quickly set up:
Truck-mounted water extraction systems to remove standing water.
High-powered air movers and commercial-grade dehumidifiers to dry affected areas.
Moisture meters and infrared cameras to locate hidden moisture in walls and ceilings.
Careful monitoring over the next few days ensured the drying process stayed on track, minimizing demolition needs and preserving much of the original structure.
3. Roof Repair Coordination
While the interior drying work was underway, we coordinated with Bades Roofing to handle the roof replacement. Thanks to our strong partnership:
Bades Roofing was able to complete a full roof replacement within one week of the storm.
This rapid timeline was critical in preventing further water intrusion during ongoing spring rains.
The roof replacement used upgraded materials to better withstand future storms.
Our teamwork allowed the homeowner to be among the first in the area to have a fully replaced, secure roof — a major advantage considering the widespread damage in Imperial.
Project Results
Because of MRC Restoration’s quick mobilization and seamless coordination with Bades Roofing:
Major sections of the home’s structure and finishes were saved.
