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. Non-porous items often survive, while soaked fabric and paper usually don't.

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?
Light work is possible with proper protection. For heavy lifting, big debris piles, and anything contaminated, a professional crew is safer and faster.
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?
Cleanup clears and sanitizes the property. Restoration adds drying and reconstruction afterward.
