What gets handled

The Steps of Proper Flood Damage Cleanup

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

Contaminated drywall and insulation come out above the flood line to catch water that wicked upward.

D

Surface Decontamination

Framing, slabs, and any salvaged surfaces are scrubbed and treated with EPA-registered antimicrobial products to kill bacteria and slow mold growth.

A

Structural Drying After a Flood

Once the building is cleaned out, air movers and dehumidifiers run until framing and slab readings show the structure is dry enough to rebuild.

C

Salvage Versus Discard Decisions

From call to finished

Four Steps From Mud to Dry

Make the call

Call +1-877-637-9008 and say how high the water got, whether it has receded, and if the power is off. That helps route you to a pro equipped for floodwater.

Crew heads out

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

Flood line check and estimate

The pro checks for structural and electrical hazards, measures the flood line, and writes up muck-out, removal, and drying costs before starting.

Cleanup, sanitizing, drying

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

Water finally receding?

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

Typically one to two feet above the water mark to catch wicking. Deeper floods may require full-height removal.

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