Our Flood Cleanup Process
Inspection & Safety Check
We assess categories of water (clean, gray, black), check electrical hazards, and map moisture using infrared and meters. You’ll receive a clear scope and estimate before work begins.
Water Extraction & Pump-Out
Truck-mounted pumps and high-capacity extractors remove standing water from basements, crawl spaces, and finished areas to limit secondary damage.
Contaminant Removal, Cleaning & Disinfection
Floodwaters can carry bacteria and debris. We remove unsalvageable materials as needed, then clean and disinfect all affected surfaces and contents.
Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers draw moisture from slab, framing, drywall, and subfloors. We record daily moisture readings until dry-standard levels are reached.
Odor Control & HEPA Filtration
We apply odor neutralization and use HEPA air filtration to capture aerosols and particulates released during demolition/drying.
Final Inspection
You receive photos, moisture logs, and a completion report—useful for your insurer and future records.
