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
Waterlogged furniture, carpet, and stored items get removed and taken to disposal. Every discarded item is photographed before it goes.
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 sheds often take the worst of it, with tools, appliances, and stored items sitting in muddy water. Crews clear them out, clean the slab, and stage what's salvageable.

What can be saved after a flood?
Hard, non-porous items like metal, glass, hard plastic, and solid wood furniture can often be cleaned and disinfected. Mattresses, upholstered furniture, carpet, pad, stuffed toys, and paper goods soaked in floodwater usually can't be made safe.
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?
Always. Photos and a written inventory of discarded items support your insurance claim.
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.
