Cleanup Work Through Our Network
A complete cleanup usually includes all of this.
Mud & Silt Removal
Mud is shoveled out, floors are squeegeed, and hard surfaces are rinsed. Fast removal keeps silt from drying into a crust.
Debris & Furniture Removal
Soaked carpet, pad, mattresses, upholstered furniture, and damaged boxes are carried out and hauled away. Anything discarded is photographed first for your claim.
Salvage Sorting
Crews help sort belongings into keep, clean, and discard piles. Hard plastics, metal, and glass usually clean up; porous items soaked in floodwater usually don't.
Disinfection & Pressure Washing
Every hard surface the water touched is washed and disinfected. That knocks down bacteria and the odor that comes with them.
Garage & Shed Cleanup
Garages and storage sheds usually hold the most damaged stuff. Crews clear them out, clean the slab, and stage what's salvageable.

After the Mud Was Gone
Each of these started with mud, debris, and a long to-do list.
Our garage had six inches of mud and everything in it was ruined. They cleared it, hauled two loads, and pressure-washed the slab the same day.

What can be saved after a flood?
Non-porous items generally survive with cleaning. Porous items that absorbed floodwater, such as mattresses, carpet, and upholstery, are usually discarded.
Should I clean up flood debris myself?
You can do some of it safely with boots, gloves, eye protection, and an N95 mask, but floodwater carries bacteria and sometimes chemicals. Heavy debris, large volumes, and contaminated drywall are better left to a crew.
How soon should flood cleanup start?
As soon as authorities say it's safe. The first two days matter most for keeping mold and odor under control.
Do I need to document items before throwing them out?
Yes. Photograph each item, note brand and approximate age when possible, and keep a list. Insurers often want proof of what was lost before it's discarded.
Is flood cleanup the same as flood restoration?
Not quite. Cleanup focuses on muck-out, debris removal, contents sorting, and sanitizing. Restoration goes further, including structural drying and rebuilding walls and floors.
