What gets handled

The Steps of Proper Flood Damage Cleanup

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

M

Mud-Out and Debris Removal

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

F

Removing Materials Below the Waterline

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

D

Surface Decontamination

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

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

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.
