What Flood Restoration Through Our Network Looks Like
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. 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 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
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. Restorers coordinate those inspections as part of the job.
Drying & Reconstruction
Framing and slab are dried to target readings before rebuild. Reconstruction follows with new insulation, drywall, floors, and trim.

After the Water Went Down
Every one of these homes took on water from outside.
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., ReifftonI 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., ReifftonThey 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?
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?
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?
Mud-out and tear-out often take a day or two, drying takes three to seven days, and rebuild can take several weeks. Large regional floods can extend timelines because of contractor and material demand.
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.
