What Flood Cleanup Covers
A complete cleanup usually includes all of this.
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
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.
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 storage sheds usually hold the most damaged stuff. They empty, clean, and organize what can be saved.

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?
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.
