Signs to look for

When to call us for flood cleanup

So the repair lasts, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

A gritty film on floors and on anything low

So the repair lasts, that silt film is what settled out of the water, and it holds moisture and bacteria. For a job done right, drying a room with the film still down locks it in position.

A visible high water mark on walls and furniture legs

For a job done right, the line shows exactly what soaked up water and how far up. With sound workmanship in mind, above it is more often than not fine, and below it calls for cleaning or removal.

Boxes, paper and photographs sat in the water

For a job done right, paper based items have the shortest window of anything in the house. Before the finish work begins, within a couple of days they cockle, stick together and start to grow mold.

Soft goods soaked through

With sound workmanship in mind, bedding, clothing, plush toys, cushions and rugs are all absorbent materials that absorbed whatever was in the water.

Food, medicine or pet supplies were in the flooded area

So the repair lasts, anything consumable that contacted floodwater goes, including screw top jars and cardboard packaging, because those containers are not reliably waterproof.

The heating or cooling system ran while the space was wet

Before the finish work begins, a running system pulls humid, contaminated air through the HVAC ductwork and distributes it to dry rooms. Before the finish work begins, that is one of the main ways a basement flood makes a whole house smell.

What happens

How we see to flood cleanup

Our workmanship team adjusts the work to what soaked up water, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be preserved.

Debris and unsalvageable material out first

So the repair lasts, wet drywall, insulation, padding, ruined furniture and yard debris are removed and hauled. Before the finish work begins, nothing gets cleaned around a pile of wet garbage.

Documentation before anything is discarded

With sound workmanship in mind, we photograph and list every item leaving the building, with a description and rough condition.

Hard surface cleaning from the top down

For a job done right, walls, then fixtures, then floors, so nothing clean gets recontaminated by what runs off above it.

Detergent cleaning before any disinfectant

With sound workmanship in mind, soil deactivates disinfectant, so a dirty surface sprayed with a strong product stays contaminated.

Disinfection with real dwell time

For a job done right, products only work if they stay wet on the surface for the time the label specifies. With sound workmanship in mind, we apply and wait as opposed to spray and wipe.

HEPA vacuuming of settled sediment and dust

So the repair lasts, once surfaces dry, remaining fine particles are captured with a HEPA vacuum instead of being swept into the air.

What to expect

What to expect from our workmanship team

Here is how we more often than not handle flood cleanup near California.

1
A cleanup work plan built room by room

So the repair lasts, cleanup starts only after the water is out and power to the area is off, and nobody reaches blindly into water or debris, because displaced snakes, rodents and insects shelter there.
After the water is out
2
Photographs and the inventory list

Before the finish work begins, we record every damaged item with photos and a written description before it moves.
Before anything moves
3
Debris and unsalvageable material out

With sound workmanship in mind, wet drywall, insulation, padding, ruined furniture and yard debris are carried out along a controlled path.
First cleanup day
4
Contents triage with the household present

Before the finish work begins, we sort into clean here, send out, or document and discard, and we ask about anything with sentimental value.
Same day
5
Cleaning from the top down

With sound workmanship in mind, walls, framing, fixtures and finally floors are cleaned with detergent and physical agitation. So the repair lasts, runoff is extracted as opposed to pushed into clean areas.
Day 1 to 2
6
Disinfection and dwell time

Before the finish work begins, cleaned surfaces are treated and left wet for the time the product requires. With sound workmanship in mind, air scrubbers run during and after application to control airborne particles and odor.
Day 2
7
Dust capture and odor work

Before the finish work begins, as surfaces dry we HEPA vacuum ledges, joists and floors to capture fine sediment.
Day 2 to 3

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

So the repair lasts, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. So the repair lasts, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situation	What the estimate may include	Typical range
Post flood cleaning and sanitizing, one level, structure only	Before the finish work begins, national estimate for debris removal, surface cleaning and disinfection. With sound workmanship in mind, contents work and drying equipment are separate.	$2,000 to $6,000
Contents packout, cleaning and temporary storage	So the repair lasts, national estimate driven by item count and storage duration. With sound workmanship in mind, specialty items such as artwork are priced individually.	$1,000 to $5,000
Contents cleaning and inventory, per packed box	With sound workmanship in mind, national estimate covering handling, cleaning of salvageable items and inventory documentation.	$30 to $75 per box
Debris removal and disposal, per container load	For a job done right, national estimate per dumpster. With sound workmanship in mind, wet material is heavy, so weight limits are reached faster than volume limits.	$400 to $900
Odor control with air scrubbers and targeted treatment	Before the finish work begins, national estimate for equipment days plus treatment after the odor source has already been removed.	$200 to $1,000

How much debris has to leave
Wet drywall, insulation and padding are heavy and bulky, and disposal is billed by volume or by container.
Contents count and how they were stored
So the repair lasts, an empty basement is a fast job. For a job done right, a basement holding thirty years of boxes takes days of sorting, photographing and handling.
In place cleaning versus a full packout
With sound workmanship in mind, cleaning around contents is cheaper but slower and less complete.
Soft goods and specialty items
For a job done right, soft goods laundering is priced by load or by pound.
How contaminated the water was
Clear seepage calls for cleaning. Storm water or drain backup calls for protective equipment, disposal of absorbent materials, disinfection with dwell time and a controlled work path.
Square footage of surfaces to clean
Cleaning is measured by surface area, not floor area. Walls, joist bays, stair stringers and mechanical rooms add up swiftly in an unfinished space.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Before the finish work begins, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Dried sediment becomes airborne dust

So the repair lasts, silt that is left to dry turns into fine powder and lifts every time someone walks through.

Staining and residue set permanently

Before the finish work begins, furniture legs leave rust rings, dyes bleed into carpet and upholstery, and mud stains grout and unsealed concrete.

Paper, photographs and books pass the point of saving

With sound workmanship in mind, wet paper deteriorates within about two days: pages fuse, ink runs and mold appears.

Bacteria keep multiplying on uncleaned surfaces

With sound workmanship in mind, drying a contaminated surface does not sanitize it.

Helpful service information

What to know about flood cleanup

With sound workmanship in mind, start with the short explanation. Before the finish work begins, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

Soil deactivates disinfectant, so the sequence is always physical removal, then detergent cleaning, then disinfection with the label's dwell time.

Read the explanation

Cleaning order is the part homeowners seldom hear about, and it decides the result. Soil deactivates disinfectant, so the sequence is always physical removal, then detergent cleaning, then disinfection with the label's dwell time.

How the next step is decided

Non porous surfaces such as metal, glass, glazed ceramic and sealed plastic clean and disinfect reliably.

Read the explanation

Contents triage follows material science more than sentiment, though we try to respect both. Non porous surfaces such as metal, glass, glazed ceramic and sealed plastic clean and disinfect reliably.

What may change the work

Wet paper begins to cockle, bleed and stick within roughly forty eight hours, and mold follows.

Read the explanation

Paper and fabric run on a much tighter clock than the building does. Wet paper begins to cockle, bleed and stick within roughly forty eight hours, and mold follows.

Common questions

Questions about flood cleanup

What is the dividing line between flood water removal and flood damage cleanup?

With sound workmanship in mind, water removal is getting the water and standing volume out of the building.

Do I have to throw everything away?

So the repair lasts, no, and that is the point of contents triage. Before the finish work begins, metal, glass, sealed plastic, dishes and most non porous surfaces clean up well.

Can my clothes and bedding be preserved?

For a job done right, often yes. For a job done right, soft goods laundering uses temperatures and cycles a home machine cannot match, and it recovers a lot of clothing and bedding.

What about photographs and important papers?

So the repair lasts, move fast on these. So the repair lasts, wet paper starts to fuse and grow mold within about two days, so freezing them stops the clock and buys weeks.

Why do you clean before you disinfect?

Before the finish work begins, because soil deactivates disinfectant. For a job done right, spraying a strong product onto a muddy surface consumes the active ingredient on the dirt and leaves the surface contaminated.

How long does flood cleanup take?

Before the finish work begins, for a single flooded level, debris removal and cleaning more often than not take one to three days, running alongside three to five days of structural drying.

Will the smell really go away?

For a job done right, yes, when the source leaves. Before the finish work begins, flood odor lives in absorbed material such as padding, insulation, sediment and unsealed wood, so removal and cleaning do most of the work.
