Don't Ignore These
WARNING SIGNS AFTER A FLOOD
After a flood event, these signs indicate you need professional intervention — not a wait-and-see approach.
Sewage Odor
A sewage or rotten smell from floodwater indicates Category 3 contamination that requires immediate professional handling.
Discolored Floodwater
Brown, gray, or black floodwater is contaminated and poses serious health risks — do not wade through it or attempt cleanup yourself.
Basement Flooding After Rain
Repeated basement flooding after storms signals drainage or foundation issues. Each event compounds structural damage.
Soaked Carpets & Padding
Carpet and padding absorb contaminated water like a sponge and cannot be effectively cleaned — they typically require removal.
Swollen Doors & Windows
Wood framing that has absorbed floodwater swells and warps, making doors and windows stick or fail to close properly.
Visible Mold After Prior Flooding
If mold appeared after a previous flood event, current flooding requires even more aggressive professional response.

Water Extraction
We extract standing water using industrial pumps and truck-mounted units, removing hundreds of gallons quickly.
Category Assessment
We identify the water category (clean, gray, or black water) to determine the appropriate decontamination protocol.
Material Removal
Unsalvageable materials are removed and properly disposed of — including contaminated drywall, insulation, and flooring.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you handle sewage contamination from flooding?
Yes. Floodwater often contains sewage and other contaminants. We are trained and equipped to safely remove, decontaminate, and restore flood-damaged areas.
What if my basement flooded from a storm?
Storm flooding is one of the most common calls we receive. We handle full basement flood cleanup — extraction, drying, decontamination, and documentation.
How do I prevent mold after a flood?
The key is fast response and thorough drying. If materials are dried within 24–48 hours, mold risk is significantly reduced. That’s why our rapid response matters.
Will you work with my insurance company?
Absolutely. We document all damage thoroughly, provide moisture logs and photos, and can communicate directly with your insurance adjuster on your behalf.
Is floodwater dangerous?
Yes. Category 2 and Category 3 (black water) floodwater contains bacteria, sewage, and other pathogens. It should not be handled without proper protective equipment and professional decontamination.
What gets removed vs. what gets saved after a flood?
Porous materials like carpet, insulation, and heavily saturated drywall are typically removed. Hard surfaces like concrete and tile can often be cleaned and dried. We make that assessment on-site.
