What Flood Restoration Through Our Network Looks Like
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.

Flood Recovery Work Through Our Network
Flood restoration follows a strict order.
Mud-Out & Silt Removal
Floodwater leaves a layer of silt and mud that has to be shoveled, squeegeed, and washed out before anything else. 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
Every exposed surface gets cleaned and disinfected before drying begins. That's what makes the space safe to dry and 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 Kaser
These callers all dealt with rising water, not a leak.
The creek behind our street came up eighteen inches into the house. The crew shoveled out the mud, cut the drywall at four feet, and disinfected everything before setting up dryers.
— Patricia N., KaserI learned the hard way that homeowners insurance doesn't cover rising water. Thankfully we had flood coverage, and the contractor's photos of the flood line made the claim straightforward.
— Gary S., KaserAn electrician cleared every submerged outlet before power came back on. That's the kind of care I wanted.

Does homeowners insurance cover flood damage?
Standard homeowners policies generally exclude damage from rising surface water. Flood damage is typically covered only by a separate flood policy, such as one through the National Flood Insurance Program or a private flood carrier.
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?
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?
Wait until local authorities clear the area. Then watch for structural damage, gas smells, and electrical hazards, and wear boots and gloves since floodwater is contaminated.
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.
