Flood Damage Cleanup Services
Flood water is not clean water. Whether from a storm surge, river overflow, or sewer backup, flood water carries bacteria, chemicals, and debris that contaminate everything it touches. The IICRC classifies flood water as Category 2 or Category 3 — meaning it requires professional decontamination, not just drying.
Our contractors provide complete flood damage cleanup from extraction through sanitization, following strict safety and decontamination protocols.
What Flood Damage Cleanup Includes
Emergency Water Extraction
Truck-mounted extractors and submersible pumps remove flood water rapidly. Extraction speed directly determines how much of your property and belongings can be saved.
Debris Removal
Flood-borne debris, contaminated materials, and unsalvageable contents are safely removed and disposed of. Saturated drywall, carpet, insulation, and padding are typically too contaminated to restore after flood exposure.
Structural Drying
Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers dry the structure to target moisture levels. Flood-exposed framing, subfloors, and concrete require extended drying time monitored with moisture mapping.
Decontamination & Sanitization
All flood-exposed surfaces receive antimicrobial treatment and sanitization. Category 3 (black water) exposure requires full decontamination of every contacted surface.
Restoration & Rebuild
Damaged structural elements, flooring, drywall, and systems are repaired or replaced. Our contractors handle complete restoration — returning your property to pre-flood condition.
