Rising water from a river, creek, or flash flood is never clean. When it pulls back, it leaves mud, debris, and bacteria in every surface it touched. Flood cleanup means removing contaminated materials, sanitizing what stays, and then drying the structure.

FAQ

Common Flood Damage Cleanup Questions

Floodwater can contain sewage and chemicals. Use full protective gear, or leave it to a pro equipped for contaminated water.

Usually not under a standard policy. Flood coverage typically requires a separate flood insurance policy, so talk to your agent.

Usually at least a foot or two above the visible flood line, because water wicks upward. In deeper floods, entire walls may come out.

Solid wood and metal furniture can often be cleaned and disinfected. Upholstered pieces, mattresses, and particleboard that sat in floodwater usually cannot.

Right after the water goes down and the building is safe. Waiting lets mold and bacteria spread.

No. A Water Damage is a free referral line connecting you with independent, licensed and insured local contractors who perform the work and bill you directly.
