Signs to look for
When to call us for hurricane flood cleanup
From damage control through drying, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
The house was closed and hot the entire time
For an accountable recovery, no power means no cooling and no air movement for days.
Growth is visible on baseboards, furniture legs or the back of doors
From damage control through drying, mold can begin within 24 to 48 hours, so after a week it is established rather than starting.
Drywall is soft well above where the water stopped
As each work stage is verified, gypsum wicks upward for days, so the wet line inside is higher than the mark on the paint.
The smell hits you before you are through the door
With clear job steps, that odor is bacteria and growth working on wet organic material. With clear job steps, it means the building has been biologically active for some time.
Cabinet bases and door bottoms have swelled and come apart
As each work stage is verified, particleboard and medium density fiberboard delaminate and never recover once they have swelled.
What happens
How we handle hurricane flood cleanup
Our damage-response professionals adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Entry safety on a building nobody has been inside for days
From damage control through drying, power to the affected area goes off before anyone enters.
A return walkthrough with you, or documented for you

Surge or rainfall established and written down
As each work stage is verified, sand, marsh deposits and a debris line point to surge. For an accountable recovery, rainfall flooding leaves a different signature.
Standing water and saturated debris removed together
From damage control through drying, submersible pumps move whatever is left and crews clear soaked material in the same pass.
Honest salvage math after multi day exposure
For an accountable recovery, porous material that sat in floodwater for days is removed rather than cleaned.
Flood cut above the wet line and insulation out
As each work stage is verified, drywall comes off above the height moisture actually reached, and wet batt insulation is bagged behind it.

How long the water sat before anyone got back
With clear job steps, hours means drying and cleaning. With clear job steps, days means removal of everything porous plus sealed work area and air quality work.Depth and how many levels flooded
Depth sets the flood cut height and the removal volume. A second flooded level roughly doubles the action plan.Surge or rainfall water
With clear job steps, surge brings salt, sand and marsh sediment and it corrodes what it touched.How much has to be removed rather than cleaned
From damage control through drying, drywall, insulation, cabinetry bases and flooring dominate the removal line. From damage control through drying, solid wood, masonry and plywood often stay.Contents volume and the inventory work
For an accountable recovery, a furnished family home carries thousands of items.Power availability on site

Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
As each work stage is verified, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
Every day the building stayed closed multiplied the damage
As each work stage is verified, heat, humidity and no air movement turn a drying job into a removal job.
Growth is established rather than starting
With clear job steps, mold can begin within 24 to 48 hours, so after a week it is part of the condition of the building.
A flood claim has a proof of loss deadline
As each work stage is verified, flood policies require a signed proof of loss, generally within 60 days of the loss unless the deadline is formally extended.
Saltwater keeps working after the water leaves
For an accountable recovery, surge leaves salt in framing, fasteners and wiring, and saltwater corrosion continues in humid air.

Common questions
Questions about hurricane flood cleanup
Does flood insurance cover hurricane flooding?
For an accountable recovery, yes, and this is the loss it is designed for. With clear job steps, flood policies need a general condition of flooding in the area, which a hurricane clearly creates.
How much does hurricane flood cleanup cost?
As each work stage is verified, nationally, a flooded single level home usually runs about $8,000 to $25,000.
What is a hurricane deductible and why is mine so high?
With clear job steps, it is a deductible set as a percentage of your dwelling limit instead of a flat amount, commonly one to five percent.
What is the difference between storm surge and flooding from rain?
With clear job steps, surge is ocean water pushed inland by the storm, and it leaves sand, marsh sediment and salt behind.
For an accountable recovery, the house sat wet for a week. Can anything be saved?
With clear job steps, solid wood, masonry, framing and most hard goods usually can be. For an accountable recovery, drywall, insulation, carpet, padding and particleboard cabinetry that sat in floodwater for days cannot.
As each work stage is verified, there is already mold when I got back. What changes?
With clear job steps, the plan shifts from drying to removal, with sealed work area and air quality control. For an accountable recovery, growth after a week of wet heat is expected rather than unusual.
Can I clean it up myself to save money?
From damage control through drying, some of it, carefully, and not the wet structure. From damage control through drying, wear gloves and eye protection, wash your hands afterward, and keep small children, pets and anyone immunocompromised out until it is cleaned.
