Signs to look for

When to call us for hurricane flood cleanup

If you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

The water is already gone but the line is on every wall

For a decisive response, water that drained on its own left days of damage behind it. The absence of standing water tells you nothing about what soaked in.

The house was closed and hot the entire time

To control the loss, no power means no cooling and no air movement for days. A sealed wet building in summer heat is the worst set of conditions in this whole trade.

Growth is visible on baseboards, furniture legs or the back of doors

To control the loss, mold can begin within 24 to 48 hours, so after a week it is established rather than starting.

Drywall is soft well above where the water stopped

For a decisive response, gypsum wicks upward for days, so the wet line inside is higher than the mark on the paint.

The smell hits you before you are through the door

For a decisive response, that odor is bacteria and growth working on wet organic material. It means the building has been biologically active for some time.

Cabinet bases and door bottoms have swelled and come apart

To keep the work on track, particleboard and medium density fiberboard delaminate and never recover once they have swelled. Plywood boxes and solid wood often survive.

What happens

How we handle hurricane flood cleanup

Our response team adjusts the work to where water traveled, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

Entry safety on a building nobody has been inside for days

For a decisive response, power to the affected area goes off before anyone enters. Nobody reaches blindly into water or debris, because displaced snakes, rodents and insects shelter in exactly those places.

A return walkthrough with you, or documented for you

As our response moves forward, if reentry rules keep you out, we walk it with photos and video and send you the file.

Surge or rainfall established and written down

To control the loss, sand, marsh deposits and a debris line point to surge. Rainfall flooding leaves a different signature. Both are covered by flood policies, and both get documented as what they were.

Standing water and saturated debris removed together

For a decisive response, submersible pumps move whatever is left and crews clear soaked material in the same pass. On a week old loss, the debris is most of the volume.

Honest salvage math after multi day exposure

To control the loss, porous material that sat in floodwater for days is removed rather than cleaned. We tell you which categories are gone before you get attached to a plan.

Flood cut above the wet line and insulation out

To control the loss, drywall comes off above the height moisture actually reached, and wet batt insulation is bagged behind it. Cutting at the water line instead of the wet line is how buildings stay wet.

What to expect

What to expect from our response team

Here is how we usually handle hurricane flood cleanup near the United States.

1
You call, often before you can get back

As our response moves forward, report the address, how deep you think it went, and whether it was surge or rain. We can start the file and the paperwork while access is still closed.
Your call
2
What to expect when you open the door

To keep the work on track, take gloves, boots, eye protection and a phone with a charged battery. Do not switch anything on, and do not go in if the structure looks moved or the floor sags.
+10 minutes
3
Scheduled against your county's reentry rules

For a decisive response, crews go in when the roads and the local orders allow it, not before. We give you the reentry window we actually have and revise it when the county does.
Once access reopens
4
Hazard control on a building closed for days

To control the loss, power confirmed off, structure checked, gas appliances left alone, wildlife and debris hazards marked. Photographs and video come before anything is touched.
On arrival
5
The walkthrough and the salvage conversation

We go room by room with you and say plainly what is gone and what has a chance.
First hours on site
6
Water, mud and saturated debris out

For a decisive response, whatever water remains gets pumped, then soaked contents and materials are inventoried and removed. The contents list is built as items leave, not from memory later.
Day 1
7
Flood cut, insulation out, cavities opened

For a decisive response, drywall comes off above the wet line and wet insulation is bagged. Cabinets that have delaminated come out so the wall behind them can be reached.
Day 1 to 3

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

We outline the restoration action plan and price before you approve the job. These examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situation	What the estimate may include	Typical range
Whole home hurricane flood cleanup, single level house	For a decisive response, national estimate for removal, cleaning, disinfection and drying across a flooded single level home.	$8,000 to $25,000
One level taken back to the studs after days of standing water	To control the loss, national estimate where prolonged exposure means all porous material is removed.	$10,000 to $30,000
Two story home with a flooded lower level after a named storm	To control the loss, national estimate including contents handling and drying on both levels.	$15,000 to $40,000
Floodwater cleanup priced by affected area	To control the loss, national estimate covering removal, cleaning, disinfection and drying of flooded area.	$7 to $15 per square foot
Contents packout, cleaning and storage during the rebuild	For a decisive response, national estimate. Volume, storage duration and specialty items drive the spread.	$1,000 to $5,000
Debris removal and disposal, per container load	For a decisive response, national estimate per container. After a named storm, hauling congestion pushes toward the top.	$400 to $900
Named storm deductible on a $400,000 dwelling limit	As our response moves forward, national illustration at one to five percent of the dwelling limit. Your policy states your own percentage.	$4,000 to $20,000
Generator supported response where the building has no power	As our response moves forward, national estimate. The generator is always placed outside the building.	$200 to $600 per visit
After hours or overnight dispatch charge	To control the loss, national estimate for nights, weekends and holidays, billed once rather than per hour.	$100 to $400 nationally

How long the water sat before anyone got back
To control the loss, hours means drying and cleaning. Days means removal of everything porous plus sealed work area and air quality work.
Depth and how many levels flooded
For a decisive response, depth sets the flood cut height and the removal volume. A second flooded level roughly doubles the work plan.
Surge or rainfall water
To keep the work on track, surge brings salt, sand and marsh sediment and it corrodes what it touched. Rainfall flooding is dirty but does not keep attacking metal afterward.
How much has to be removed rather than cleaned
As our response moves forward, drywall, insulation, cabinetry bases and flooring dominate the removal line. Solid wood, masonry and plywood often stay.
Contents volume and the inventory work
To keep the work on track, a furnished family home carries thousands of items. Listing and photographing them for a flood claim is real labor and it pays for itself.
Power availability on site
To control the loss, no utility power means generator support, which adds cost per visit. A generator is always placed outside the building.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Every day the building stayed closed multiplied the damage

To keep the work on track, heat, humidity and no air movement turn a drying job into a removal job. That is why hurricane scopes are bigger than the depth alone suggests.

Growth is established rather than starting

For a decisive response, mold can begin within 24 to 48 hours, so after a week it is part of the condition of the building.

A flood claim has a proof of loss deadline

To control the loss, flood policies require a signed proof of loss, generally within 60 days of the loss unless the deadline is formally extended.

Saltwater keeps working after the water leaves

To keep the work on track, surge leaves salt in framing, fasteners and wiring, and saltwater corrosion continues in humid air. Electrical and mechanical components that were submerged get replaced, not dried.

Helpful service information

What to know about hurricane flood cleanup

Act first by the short explanation. Open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

As our response moves forward, a pipe break gets attention in minutes.

Read the explanation

To keep the work on track, a hurricane loss is defined by time more than by depth, and that is the single most useful thing to understand.

How the next step is decided

To control the loss, storm surge is ocean water driven inland by wind and low pressure, and it arrives with sand, marsh mud and salt.

Read the explanation

For a decisive response, surge and rainfall leave different fingerprints and it is worth knowing which one you have. Storm surge is ocean water driven inland by wind and low pressure, and it arrives with sand, marsh mud and salt.

What may change the work

For a decisive response, gypsum board wicks water upward for days, so the wet line inside the wall sits above the visible mark on the paint.

Read the explanation

To control the loss, the flood cut is the technical decision that decides the size of the job. Gypsum board wicks water upward for days, so the wet line inside the wall sits above the visible mark on the paint.

Common questions

Questions about hurricane flood cleanup

Does flood insurance cover hurricane flooding?

As our response moves forward, yes, and this is the loss it is designed for. Flood policies need a general condition of flooding in the area, which a hurricane clearly creates.

How much does hurricane flood cleanup cost?

To keep the work on track, nationally, a flooded single level home usually runs about $8,000 to $25,000. One level taken back to the studs after days of water normally runs $10,000 to $30,000.

What is a hurricane deductible and why is mine so high?

As our response moves forward, it is a deductible set as a percentage of your dwelling limit instead of a flat amount, commonly one to five percent.

What is the difference between storm surge and flooding from rain?

To keep the work on track, surge is ocean water pushed inland by the storm, and it leaves sand, marsh sediment and salt behind.

The house sat wet for a week. Can anything be saved?

To control the loss, solid wood, masonry, framing and most hard goods usually can be. Drywall, insulation, carpet, padding and particleboard cabinetry that sat in floodwater for days cannot.

There is already mold when I got back. What changes?

To control the loss, the plan shifts from drying to removal, with sealed work area and air quality control. Growth after a week of wet heat is expected rather than unusual.

Can I clean it up myself to save money?

For a decisive response, some of it, carefully, and not the wet structure. Wear gloves and eye protection, wash your hands afterward, and keep small children, pets and anyone immunocompromised out until it is cleaned.
