Argenta's historic homes often have original hardwood floors and plaster walls that can be dried in place if crews start quickly.

Flood damage cleanup questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in North Little Rock?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of North Little Rock Permits and Inspections department.
Does insurance cover hail damage in North Little Rock?
Generally yes, subject to your deductible. Report damage soon after the storm.
Is flood damage covered by homeowners insurance?
Usually not. Rising water from outside is typically covered only by a flood policy (NFIP or private). Water from a burst pipe is a different claim under your homeowners policy.
Can drywall that got flood water be dried?
Generally no. Floodwater is contaminated, so the IICRC S500 standard calls for removing porous materials it soaked, including drywall and insulation, above the waterline.
