Cleanup Work Through Our Network
Here's what a cleanup crew typically handles.
Mud & Silt Removal
Crews shovel and squeegee silt from floors, then rinse slabs and hard surfaces. 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. It cuts bacteria and the sour flood smell.
Garage & Shed Cleanup
Garages and storage sheds usually hold the most damaged stuff. They empty, clean, and organize what can be saved.

After the Mud Was Gone
Each of these started with mud, debris, and a long to-do list.
The garage was full of mud and soaked boxes after the storm. They cleared it, hauled two loads, and pressure-washed the slab the same day.

— Ellen R., JacksonvilleThe smell was unbearable after two days. Once they pulled the wet carpet and disinfected the floors, it was gone.

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.
