Cleanup Work Through Our Network
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. Every discarded item is photographed before it goes.
Salvage Sorting
Crews help sort belongings into keep, clean, and discard piles. Non-porous items often survive, while soaked fabric and paper usually don't.
Disinfection & Pressure Washing
Hard surfaces, slabs, garage floors, and exterior areas get pressure-washed and treated with disinfectant. That knocks down bacteria and the odor that comes with them.
Garage & Shed Cleanup
Garages and sheds often take the worst of it, with tools, appliances, and stored items sitting in muddy water. They empty, clean, and organize what can be saved.

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?
Cleanup clears and sanitizes the property. Restoration adds drying and reconstruction afterward.
