The creek came over its banks overnight and pushed a foot of brown water through the ground floor. Now it is gone, but it left silt on the floors, a waterline on the walls, and a smell that tells you this is not clean water. Floodwater cleanup is a contamination job first and a drying job second.
Free referral to independent, licensed and insured local pros. Zip codes served include 76008.

We are a referral line, not a contractor. Calls are routed to independent local pros around Aledo who handle Category 3 floodwater safely and document every step for your flood claim.
Expect full PPE and hospital-grade disinfectants, because floodwater carries sewage, fuel, and bacteria.
Flood claims often run through a separate policy. Detailed photos, flood line measurements, and removal logs help the claim move.
Every contractor runs an independent, licensed and insured business. After storms, out-of-town operators often show up, so confirm credentials before signing anything.
Pricing for each phase is written down and approved by you first.

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.

Crews shovel and squeegee silt off floors, haul debris to a dumpster, and pressure wash hard surfaces so nothing contaminated is left behind.
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.
Framing, slabs, and any salvaged surfaces are scrubbed and treated with EPA-registered antimicrobial products to kill bacteria and slow mold growth.
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.
Tell the dispatcher the water depth and whether it is still inside. That decides which crew is best suited.
A local contractor calls with an arrival estimate. After regional flooding, demand is high, and they will be honest about timing.
Expect a safety check, flood line measurements, and a written estimate before work begins.
Mud and damaged materials come out, surfaces are disinfected, and drying runs until the structure is ready for repairs.
Contaminated materials need to come out fast.
We had about fourteen inches through the whole first floor. The crew shoveled out the mud, cut the drywall at three feet, and sprayed everything before setting up fans.

It can be. Outside floodwater is Category 3 and may carry sewage, chemicals, and bacteria. If you clean any of it, wear boots, gloves, eye protection, and a respirator, and keep children away.
Usually not under a standard policy. Flood coverage typically requires a separate flood insurance policy, so talk to your agent.
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.
Right after the water goes down and the building is safe. Waiting lets mold and bacteria spread.
