What gets handled

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.

24/7 Emergency Flood Damage Cleanup experts in Old Orchard, PA
M

Mud-Out and Debris Removal

Crews shovel and squeegee silt off floors, haul debris to a dumpster, and pressure wash hard surfaces so nothing contaminated is left behind.

F

Removing Materials Below the Waterline

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

D

Antimicrobial Sanitizing

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

A

Post-Flood Dehumidification

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.

Rapid dispatch process
