The work involved

Flood Damage Cleanup Services, From Mud to Dry

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

Removing Materials Below the Waterline

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

Antimicrobial Sanitizing

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

Soft items soaked in floodwater are usually discarded, while hard goods may be cleaned. Everything is listed for the adjuster.

How it works

Four Steps From Mud to Dry

Make the call

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

Crew heads out

A local contractor calls with an arrival estimate. After regional flooding, demand is high, and they will be honest about timing.

Flood line check and estimate

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.
