Why Romoland Calls Us After a Flood
Flood jobs are different from a burst pipe. Contaminated water means porous materials below the flood line usually come out, and everything left behind gets disinfected before it's dried.
Category 3 Protocols
Expect respirators, gloves, containment, and EPA-registered disinfectants on every surface the water reached. It's standard practice for flood jobs, not an add-on.
Upfront Written Scope
The estimate spells out demolition, cleaning, drying, and reconstruction before work begins. It's set up to match what flood insurers ask for.

Flood Recovery Work Through Our Network
Flood restoration follows a strict order.
Mud-Out & Silt Removal
Silt and mud come out first, by shovel, squeegee, and pressure wash. Skipping this step dries contamination right into the surface.
Gutting Below the Flood Line
Contractors remove porous materials below the flood line plus a margin above it for wicking. Framing usually stays if it can be sanitized and dried.
Disinfection of Structure & Surfaces
Exposed framing, slab, and hard surfaces are cleaned and treated with EPA-registered disinfectants. That's what makes the space safe to dry and rebuild.
Electrical & HVAC Checks
Outlets, wiring, and HVAC components that sat underwater need evaluation by the right trade before use. Flood restorers typically arrange those checks.
Drying & Reconstruction
After sanitizing, structural drying brings framing and slab back to normal moisture levels. Reconstruction follows with new insulation, drywall, floors, and trim.

Flood Recovery Stories From Romoland
These callers all dealt with rising water, not a leak.
The creek behind our street came up eighteen inches into the house. They mucked out the silt, flood-cut at four feet, and sanitized the framing before drying.
— Patricia N., RomolandI didn't know my standard policy wouldn't cover it. Thankfully we had flood coverage, and the contractor's photos of the flood line made the claim straightforward.
— Gary S., RomolandThey had an electrician check every outlet that went under before turning the power back on. That's the kind of care I wanted.

Does homeowners insurance cover flood damage?
Usually not. Rising-water damage is excluded from most homeowners policies and is covered by separate flood insurance through the NFIP or a private insurer.
Why does drywall have to come out after a flood?
Floodwater is contaminated, and drywall and insulation absorb that contamination. They can't be reliably sanitized, so they're removed below the flood line plus a margin for wicking.
Can hardwood floors be saved after a flood?
After Category 3 floodwater, hardwood usually has to go because contamination penetrates the boards and subfloor.
Is it safe to go back into a flooded home?
Only after officials say it's safe. Once inside, avoid electrical panels in wet areas, leave if you smell gas, and wear protective gear.
How long does Flood Damage Restoration take?
Expect a couple of days for mud-out and demolition, about a week for drying, and several weeks for reconstruction, longer after widespread storms.
What should I document for my flood claim?
Take photos of the flood line, each room, and damaged belongings before removal. Save receipts and the contractor's logs and estimates.
