What Flood Cleanup Through Our Network Covers
Flood cleanup is a lot more than mopping. It means hauling waterlogged furniture, shoveling silt, deciding what's safe to keep, and disinfecting everything the water touched.

Cleanup crews bring flat shovels, squeegees, pressure washers, wet vacs, debris trailers, and N95 or half-face respirators. That turns a weekend of misery into a day's work.

What Flood Cleanup Covers
Here's what a cleanup crew typically handles.
Mud & Silt Removal
Mud is shoveled out, floors are squeegeed, and hard surfaces are rinsed. Getting silt out quickly keeps it from hardening and staining.
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
Belongings are sorted into what can be cleaned and what can't. Non-porous items often survive, while soaked fabric and paper 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?
Within 24 to 48 hours of the water receding, once the area is safe to enter. Mud and wet debris left longer increase odor, contamination, and mold growth.
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.
