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.

How it works

Your Flood Damage Cleanup Process

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.

Clean out and dry out

The home is cleaned out, sanitized, and dried, leaving it ready for rebuilding.

Water finally receding?

Contaminated materials need to come out fast.

Floodwater can contain sewage and chemicals. Use full protective gear, or leave it to a pro equipped for contaminated water.

Most standard homeowners policies exclude flooding from outside water. Coverage usually comes from a separate flood policy. Check with your agent about which applies to you.

Usually at least a foot or two above the visible flood line, because water wicks upward. In deeper floods, entire walls may come out.

Hard furniture may survive with cleaning. Soft and porous items usually need to be discarded.

As soon as the water recedes and it is safe to enter. Mold can start within 24 to 48 hours, and contaminated materials get worse the longer they sit.
