What gets handled

What Flood Damage Cleanup Involves

Flood cleanup is heavier work than a pipe leak. Mud has to be shoveled, porous materials below the waterline usually come out, and every surface gets cleaned and disinfected before drying even starts.

M

Muck-Out Service

Silt, mud, and debris are scraped out and hauled away, then hard surfaces are washed down.

F

Flood Line Demolition

Drywall, insulation, and baseboards are typically removed at least a foot or two above the visible flood line, since water wicks higher than it looks.

D

Surface Decontamination

Every exposed surface is cleaned and treated with an antimicrobial before drying starts.

A

Structural Drying After a Flood

After sanitizing, drying equipment runs until moisture readings say the structure is ready for repairs.

C

Contents Sorting and Disposal

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.

Rapid dispatch process

Four Steps From Mud to Dry

Call dispatch

Tell the dispatcher the water depth and whether it is still inside. That decides which crew is best suited.

Contractor on the way

You will hear back with a realistic arrival window. Widespread floods can slow response, and you will be told so.

Damage survey and price

Expect a safety check, flood line measurements, and a written estimate before work begins.

Cleanup, sanitizing, drying

Mud and damaged materials come out, surfaces are disinfected, and drying runs until the structure is ready for repairs.

Mud on the floors?

The sooner it is cleaned, the less mold you fight later.
