Why Millis-Clicquot Calls Us After a Flood
A flood is not a plumbing leak, and it shouldn't be treated like one. Contamination changes the rules: porous materials below the waterline are removed, and what remains is sanitized before drying.
Category 3 Protocols
Contractors wear proper PPE, set up containment, and apply EPA-registered disinfectants to everything floodwater touched. That's the baseline for floodwater, not an upgrade.
Upfront Written Scope
You get a written estimate covering mud-out, tear-out, sanitizing, drying, and rebuild. It's built to line up with flood insurance documentation requirements.

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
Drywall, insulation, carpet, and pad below the high-water mark are removed, often 12 to 24 inches above it to catch wicking. Studs and plates stay if they can be cleaned and dried.
Disinfection of Structure & Surfaces
Exposed framing, slab, and hard surfaces are cleaned and treated with EPA-registered disinfectants. It's the step that makes the house safe to rebuild.
Electrical & HVAC Checks
Submerged outlets, panels, and ductwork should be checked by a qualified electrician or HVAC tech. Flood restorers typically arrange those checks.
Drying & Reconstruction
Framing and slab are dried to target readings before rebuild. Reconstruction follows with new insulation, drywall, floors, and trim.

Flood Recovery Stories From Millis-Clicquot
These callers all dealt with rising water, not a leak.
We had a foot and a half of creek water through the first floor. The crew shoveled out the mud, cut the drywall at four feet, and disinfected everything before setting up dryers.
— Patricia N., Millis-ClicquotI learned the hard way that homeowners insurance doesn't cover rising water. Luckily we had a flood policy, and the high-water photos made the claim simple.
— Gary S., Millis-ClicquotThey had an electrician check every outlet that went under before turning the power back on. That's the kind of care I wanted.
— Monique F., Millis-ClicquotCommon Flood Restoration Questions
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?
Drywall and insulation soak up contaminated water and can't be disinfected effectively, so they're cut out above the high-water mark.
Can hardwood floors be saved after a flood?
Rarely after outside floodwater. Contamination soaks into the wood and subfloor, and most flood restorers recommend replacement. Clean-water leaks are a different story.
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?
Photograph the high-water mark on walls, every damaged room, and items before they're discarded. Keep receipts for emergency expenses and copies of the contractor's drying logs.
