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.

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

Damage survey and price

Expect a safety check, flood line measurements, and a written estimate before work begins.

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.
