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. Every discarded item is photographed before it goes.
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.

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.
