The creek came over its banks overnight and pushed a foot of brown water through the ground floor. Now it is gone, but it left silt on the floors, a waterline on the walls, and a smell that tells you this is not clean water. Floodwater cleanup is a contamination job first and a drying job second.

Expect full PPE and hospital-grade disinfectants, because floodwater carries sewage, fuel, and bacteria.

After big floods, storm chasers appear. Ask any contractor for license and insurance proof before work starts.
Pricing for each phase is written down and approved by you first.

Unlike a clean-water leak, a flood requires mud removal, demolition below the waterline, and full sanitizing before the structure can be dried.

Silt, mud, and debris are scraped out and hauled away, then hard surfaces are washed down.
Drywall, insulation, and baseboards are typically removed at least a foot or two above the visible flood line, since water wicks higher than it looks.
Framing, slabs, and any salvaged surfaces are scrubbed and treated with EPA-registered antimicrobial products to kill bacteria and slow mold growth.
After sanitizing, drying equipment runs until moisture readings say the structure is ready for repairs.
Soft items soaked in floodwater are usually discarded, while hard goods may be cleaned. Everything is listed for the adjuster.
Call +1-877-637-9008 and say how high the water got, whether it has receded, and if the power is off. That helps route you to a pro equipped for floodwater.
You will hear back with a realistic arrival window. Widespread floods can slow response, and you will be told so.
The pro checks for structural and electrical hazards, measures the flood line, and writes up muck-out, removal, and drying costs before starting.
Mud and damaged materials come out, surfaces are disinfected, and drying runs until the structure is ready for repairs.
The sooner it is cleaned, the less mold you fight later.
We had about fourteen inches through the whole first floor. The crew shoveled out the mud, cut the drywall at three feet, and sprayed everything before setting up fans.

Floodwater can contain sewage and chemicals. Use full protective gear, or leave it to a pro equipped for contaminated water.
Usually not under a standard policy. Flood coverage typically requires a separate flood insurance policy, so talk to your agent.
Usually at least a foot or two above the visible flood line, because water wicks upward. In deeper floods, entire walls may come out.
Hard furniture may survive with cleaning. Soft and porous items usually need to be discarded.
Right after the water goes down and the building is safe. Waiting lets mold and bacteria spread.
