Unlike a clean-water leak, a flood requires mud removal, demolition below the waterline, and full sanitizing before the structure can be dried.

Crews shovel and squeegee silt off floors, haul debris to a dumpster, and pressure wash hard surfaces so nothing contaminated is left behind.
Contaminated drywall and insulation come out above the flood line to catch water that wicked upward.
Every exposed surface is cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial before drying starts.
Once the building is cleaned out, air movers and dehumidifiers run until framing and slab readings show the structure is dry enough to rebuild.
Porous items like mattresses, upholstered furniture, and stuffed toys that sat in floodwater usually cannot be saved. Hard items can often be cleaned. Contractors help sort and document both for your claim.
