Disaster Restoration Services for Colleges in Iowa City, IA
Your Trusted Partner for Campus Emergencies
Nestled along the banks of the Iowa River, Iowa City’s vibrant college campuses like Kirkwood Community College face unique challenges. The river’s proximity means spring and early summer often bring a risk of flooding, threatening residence halls, classrooms, and research facilities with water damage. Winters here can be harsh, with freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall putting campus roofs and infrastructure to the test, sometimes resulting in burst pipes or storm damage that disrupt campus life.

We understand the delicate balance of preserving the campus environment while minimizing interruptions to students and staff. We know these colleges depend on reliable, quick responses when disaster strikes, and we’re here to work hand-in-hand with maintenance teams and respond 24/7 to ensure campuses stay safe, functional, and welcoming throughout the year.
