The creek came over its banks overnight and pushed a foot of brown water through the ground floor. Now it is gone, but it left silt on the floors, a waterline on the walls, and a smell that tells you this is not clean water. Floodwater cleanup is a contamination job first and a drying job second.

Flood claims often run through a separate policy. Detailed photos, flood line measurements, and removal logs help the claim move.
After big floods, storm chasers appear. Ask any contractor for license and insurance proof before work starts.
You get a written estimate for muck-out, removal, sanitizing, and drying before work begins.

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

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

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

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.
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.
