• Water source: Heavy rain or rising water enters the building

Signs That Storm Water Needs Extraction

• Flooring swells where storm water traveled

How Storm and Flash Flood Cleanup Proceeds

1. Secure the affected space

   The technician checks the source and electrical hazards. The first step is to move to safe ground if water is rising.

2. Remove pooled water

   The crew pumps and extracts wet surfaces, then moves contents from the storm flow path.

3. Find concealed saturation

   Meters show whether basement finishes, insulation, furniture and subfloor hold water. Soaked material may need removal. The crew removes contaminated porous material and sanitizes hard surfaces.

4. Dry and document

   The crew checks exposed framing, dries what can remain and records moisture readings for the claim.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Move to safe ground if water is rising if safe.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
• Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
• Call Flood Cleanup Response Team at (888) 471-9821, 24/7, and describe the storm water.

What to Expect From the Crew

• Water past the surface

  A mop cannot safely clean basement finishes, insulation, furniture and subfloor. The crew removes affected porous material and sanitizes hard surfaces.

• Work matched to the water

  Outside floodwater is usually Category 3. Exposure determines which materials stay and which leave.

• Clear records from start to finish

  Photos and readings document storm damage. Coverage depends on the policy, so check with your own insurer.
