Signs to look for

When to call us for hurricane flood cleanup

For the written restoration scope, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

The water is already gone but the line is on every wall

For the written restoration scope, water that drained on its own left days of damage behind it.

The house was closed and hot the entire time

As our specialists document the loss, no power means no cooling and no air movement for days.

Growth is visible on baseboards, furniture legs or the back of doors

For the written restoration scope, mold can begin within 24 to 48 hours, so after a week it is established rather than starting.

Drywall is soft well above where the water stopped

From the first moisture reading, gypsum wicks upward for days, so the wet line inside is higher than the mark on the paint.

The smell hits you before you are through the door

During our assessment, that odor is bacteria and growth working on wet organic material. During our assessment, it means the building has been biologically active for some time.

Cabinet bases and door bottoms have swelled and come apart

From the first moisture reading, particleboard and medium density fiberboard delaminate and never recover once they have swelled. From the first moisture reading, plywood boxes and solid wood commonly survive.

What happens

How we handle hurricane flood cleanup

Our restoration specialists adjust the work to the areas and materials involved, the measured reach of the water, and the materials that can be saved.

Entry safety on a building nobody has been inside for days

From the first moisture reading, power to the impacted area goes off before anyone enters. For the written restoration scope, nobody reaches blindly into water or debris, because displaced snakes, rodents and insects shelter in exactly those places.

A return walkthrough with you, or documented for you

For the written restoration scope, if reentry rules keep you out, we walk it with photos and video and send you the file.

Surge or rainfall established and written down

From the first moisture reading, sand, marsh deposits and a debris line point to surge. As our specialists document the loss, rainfall flooding leaves a different signature.

Standing water and saturated debris removed together

For the written restoration scope, submersible pumps move whatever is left and crews clear soaked material in the same pass.

Honest salvage math after multi day exposure

As our specialists document the loss, porous material that sat in floodwater for days is removed rather than cleaned.

Flood cut above the wet line and insulation out

From the first moisture reading, drywall comes off above the height moisture actually reached, and wet batt insulation is bagged behind it.

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

We review with you the written restoration scope and price before you approve the job. These examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
Whole home hurricane flood cleanup, single level houseFor the written restoration scope, national estimate for removal, cleaning, disinfection and drying across a flooded single level home.$8,000 to $25,000
One level taken back to the studs after days of standing waterFrom the first moisture reading, national estimate where prolonged exposure means all porous material is removed.$10,000 to $30,000
Two story home with a flooded lower level after a named stormFor the written restoration scope, national estimate including contents handling and drying on both levels.$15,000 to $40,000
Floodwater cleanup priced by affected areaFrom the first moisture reading, national estimate covering removal, cleaning, disinfection and drying of flooded area.$7 to $15 per square foot
Contents packout, cleaning and storage during the rebuildDuring our assessment, national estimate. From the first moisture reading, volume, storage duration and specialty items drive the spread.$1,000 to $5,000
Debris removal and disposal, per container loadFrom the first moisture reading, national estimate per container. For the written restoration scope, after a named storm, hauling congestion pushes toward the top.$400 to $900
Named storm deductible on a $400,000 dwelling limitFrom the first moisture reading, national illustration at one to five percent of the dwelling limit. From the first moisture reading, your policy states your own percentage.$4,000 to $20,000
Generator supported response where the building has no powerDuring our assessment, national estimate. During our assessment, the generator is always placed outside the building.$200 to $600 per visit
After hours or overnight dispatch chargeFor the written restoration scope, national estimate for nights, weekends and holidays, billed once rather than per hour.$100 to $400 nationally
  • How long the water sat before anyone got back
    During our assessment, hours means drying and cleaning. During our assessment, days means removal of everything porous plus sealed work area and air quality work.

  • Depth and how many levels flooded
    From the first moisture reading, depth sets the flood cut height and the removal volume. As our specialists document the loss, a second flooded level roughly doubles the work plan.

  • Surge or rainfall water
    During our assessment, surge brings salt, sand and marsh sediment and it corrodes what it touched.

  • How much has to be removed rather than cleaned
    Drywall, insulation, cabinetry bases and flooring dominate the removal line. Solid wood, masonry and plywood commonly stay.

  • Contents volume and the inventory work
    As our specialists document the loss, a furnished family home carries thousands of items.

  • Power availability on site
    From the first moisture reading, no utility power means generator support, which adds cost per visit. During our assessment, a generator is always placed outside the building.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Moisture can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Every day the building stayed closed multiplied the damage

From the first moisture reading, heat, humidity and no air movement turn a drying job into a removal job.

Growth is established rather than starting

During our assessment, mold can begin within 24 to 48 hours, so after a week it is part of the condition of the building.

A flood claim has a proof of loss deadline

From the first moisture reading, flood policies require a signed proof of loss, generally within 60 days of the loss unless the deadline is formally extended.

Saltwater keeps working after the water leaves

As our specialists document the loss, surge leaves salt in framing, fasteners and wiring, and saltwater corrosion continues in humid air.

Helpful service information

What to know about hurricane flood cleanup

First identify the short explanation. Open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

As our specialists document the loss, a pipe break gets attention in minutes.

Read the explanation

As our specialists document the loss, a hurricane loss is defined by time more than by depth, and that is the single most useful thing to understand.

How the next step is decided

For the written restoration scope, storm surge is ocean water driven inland by wind and low pressure, and it arrives with sand, marsh mud and salt.

Read the explanation

From the first moisture reading, surge and rainfall leave different fingerprints and it is worth knowing which one you have.

What may change the work

From the first moisture reading, gypsum board wicks water upward for days, so the wet line inside the wall sits above the visible mark on the paint.

Read the explanation

During our assessment, the flood cut is the technical decision that decides the size of the job. From the first moisture reading, gypsum board wicks water upward for days, so the wet line inside the wall sits above the visible mark on the paint.

Common questions

Questions about hurricane flood cleanup

Does flood insurance cover hurricane flooding?

As our specialists document the loss, yes, and this is the loss it is designed for. During our assessment, flood policies need a general condition of flooding in the area, which a hurricane clearly creates.

How much does hurricane flood cleanup cost?

From the first moisture reading, nationally, a flooded single level home in many cases runs about $8,000 to $25,000. During our assessment, one level taken back to the studs after days of water in many cases runs $10,000 to $30,000.

What is a hurricane deductible and why is mine so high?

During our assessment, it is a deductible set as a percentage of your dwelling limit instead of a flat amount, commonly one to five percent.

What is the difference between storm surge and flooding from rain?

During our assessment, surge is ocean water pushed inland by the storm, and it leaves sand, marsh sediment and salt behind.

As our specialists document the loss, the house sat wet for a week. Can anything be saved?

During our assessment, solid wood, masonry, framing and most hard goods in many cases can be. As our specialists document the loss, drywall, insulation, carpet, padding and particleboard cabinetry that sat in floodwater for days cannot.

From the first moisture reading, there is already mold when I got back. What changes?

During our assessment, the plan shifts from drying to removal, with sealed work area and air quality control.

Can I clean it up myself to save money?

For the written restoration scope, some of it, carefully, and not the wet structure. For the written restoration scope, wear gloves and eye protection, wash your hands afterward, and keep small children, pets and anyone immunocompromised out until it is cleaned.
