Rising water from a river, creek, or flash flood is never clean. When it pulls back, it leaves mud, debris, and bacteria in every surface it touched. Flood cleanup means removing contaminated materials, sanitizing what stays, and then drying the structure.

We are a referral line, not a contractor. Calls are routed to independent local pros around Atlanta who handle Category 3 floodwater safely and document every step for your flood claim.
Expect full PPE and hospital-grade disinfectants, because floodwater carries sewage, fuel, and bacteria.
Flood claims often run through a separate policy. Detailed photos, flood line measurements, and removal logs help the claim move.
After big floods, storm chasers appear. Ask any contractor for license and insurance proof before work starts.
You get a written estimate for muck-out, removal, sanitizing, and drying before work begins.

Flood cleanup is heavier work than a pipe leak. Mud has to be shoveled, porous materials below the waterline usually come out, and every surface gets cleaned and disinfected before drying even starts.

Crews shovel and squeegee silt off floors, haul debris to a dumpster, and pressure wash hard surfaces so nothing contaminated is left behind.
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.
Tell the dispatcher the water depth and whether it is still inside. That decides which crew is best suited.
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.

Paul and Dee A.River flooding, first floorEvery room had flood line photos and measurements. The adjuster said it made his job easy.
Imani C.Flash flood, flood insurance claimThey were honest about what could not be saved and helped document all of it for the insurance company.
Rob G.Flood-damaged contentsAfter the flood, strangers were knocking on doors. This pro was local, licensed, and wrote the price down before starting.
Teresa M.Post-storm flood cleanup

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.
As soon as the water recedes and it is safe to enter. Mold can start within 24 to 48 hours, and contaminated materials get worse the longer they sit.
No. We connect you with an independent local pro. Verify their license and insurance before any work starts.
