If you live in New Richmond you already know the river sets the terms. In 1997 the Ohio crested at 64.7 feet and covered roughly 95 percent of the village. In 2018 it hit 60.7 feet and put somewhere between a third and half the village underwater. Go back to 1937 and 250 of the village’s 415 homes were destroyed.
That history is why so many newer homes here are built with elevated first floors, and it is why exterior cleanup work in this village is a different conversation than it is anywhere else we go.

When the river goes back down it leaves three things.
A silt line on siding and foundations, usually well defined, often a good deal higher than people expect.
Mud across driveways, walks, patios, steps, and anything at grade.
Mildew, which shows up a few weeks later once things warm up, because the silt holds moisture against every surface it is sitting on.
The first two are what everyone sees. The third is the one that does the lasting damage to the look of a house, and the way to limit it is to get the silt off before it has time to work.
This is straightforward work and we are set up to do it. It is not restoration and we are not going to pretend otherwise, but for the exterior surfaces it is exactly what pressure washing and soft washing are for.
Even when the river stays put, New Richmond sits at about 499 feet on the bank, and the humidity that comes with that never really leaves. Homes on the west side toward the river take more of it than homes further up the hill toward Lights Hill.
Underneath is the other factor. Clermont County’s namesake soil, the Clermont series, is poorly drained silt loam over silty clay, with slow to very slow permeability and a water table at or near the surface from November through May. Half the year the ground barely drains. You see that as standing water at grade, splash back staining on the bottom courses of siding, and green growth on shaded foundations and walkways.

Flood cleanup is priced separately and depends on how high the water came, how much silt is left, and how many surfaces are affected.
The way we work: we talk with you about exactly what you need, measure the property online, and send the estimate by email and text, usually the same day. After high water we will usually want to see it in person, because photos do not tell the whole story.
You do not need to be home for standard work. We need water access.

Yes. Silt lines on siding and foundations, mud on driveways, walks, and steps, and the mildew that follows a few weeks later. Getting the silt off early is what limits the mildew.
As soon as it is safe to be on the property and the surfaces have drained. Silt that sits holds moisture against siding and concrete, and that is what turns a cleaning job into a staining problem.
Yes. Older frame and painted surfaces get soft washed at low pressure with a cleaning solution doing the work. High pressure strips paint and drives water into the wood, which is the opposite of what you want on a house that age.
Poorly drained clay soil is the usual culprit here. Water sits at grade rather than moving away, and it splashes back onto the lowest courses of siding every time it rains.
It depends on the size of the house, the surfaces involved, and, for flood work, how much silt there is. We quote the actual job. Free, and usually same day.
Yes, along with the rest of Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
