Rising water from a river, creek, or flash flood is never clean. When it pulls back, it leaves mud, debris, and bacteria in every surface it touched. Flood cleanup means removing contaminated materials, sanitizing what stays, and then drying the structure.
Free referral to independent, licensed and insured local pros. Zip codes served include 67467.

We are a referral line, not a contractor. Calls are routed to independent local pros around Minneapolis 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.
Standard homeowners policies usually exclude outside flooding, so the claim often goes through a separate flood policy. Contractors measure and photograph the flood line and itemize removed materials to support it.
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.

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

Silt, mud, and debris are scraped out and hauled away, then hard surfaces are washed down.
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.
You will hear back with a realistic arrival window. Widespread floods can slow response, and you will be told so.
The pro checks for structural and electrical hazards, measures the flood line, and writes up muck-out, removal, and drying costs before starting.
The home is cleaned out, sanitized, and dried, leaving it ready for rebuilding.
Contaminated materials need to come out fast.

Teresa M.Post-storm flood cleanup

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.
Usually at least a foot or two above the visible flood line, because water wicks upward. In deeper floods, entire walls may come out.
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.
No. We connect you with an independent local pro. Verify their license and insurance before any work starts.
