The water is already gone but the line is on every wall
Before we get to work, water that drained on its own left days of damage behind it. In plain words, the absence of water left standing tells you nothing about what soaked in.

Signs to keep an eye out for
When to call us for hurricane flood cleanup
Before we get to work, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
The house was closed and hot the entire time
To straighten this out, no power means no cooling and no air movement for days.
Growth is visible on baseboards, furniture legs or the back of doors
Before we get to work, 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
Once we are on the job site, 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
In plain words, that odor is bacteria and growth working on wet organic material. Before we get to work, it tells you the building has been biologically active for some time.
Cabinet bases and door bottoms have swelled and come apart
Once we are on the job site, particleboard and medium density fiberboard delaminate and never recover once they have swelled. To straighten this out, plywood boxes and solid wood frequently survive.
What happens
How we take on hurricane flood cleanup
Our hands-on restoration team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Entry safety on a building nobody has been inside for days
Once we are on the job site, power to the area that got wet goes off before anyone enters. To straighten this out, nobody reaches blindly into water or debris, since displaced snakes, rodents and insects shelter in exactly those places.
A return walkthrough with you, or documented for you
In plain words, if reentry rules keep you out, we walk it with job-site pictures and video and send you the file.
Surge or rainfall established and written down
Once we are on the job site, sand, marsh deposits and a debris line point to surge. To straighten this out, rainfall flooding leaves a different signature.
Water left standing and saturated debris removed together
Before we get to work, submersible pumps move whatever is left and crews clear soaked material in the same pass.
Honest salvage math after multi day exposure
To straighten this out, porous material that sat in floodwater for days is removed rather than cleaned.
Flood cut above the wet line and insulation out
Once we are on the job site, 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 spell out the recommended work and price before you approve the job. These examples show what may change the price breakdown.
| Common situation | What the estimate may include | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Whole home hurricane flood cleanup, single level house | National price breakdown 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 water | National price breakdown 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 storm | National price breakdown including contents handling and drying on both levels. | $15,000 to $40,000 |
| Floodwater cleanup priced by affected area | National price breakdown covering removal, cleaning, disinfection and drying of flooded area. | $7 to $15 per square foot |
| Contents packout, cleaning and storage during the rebuild | National price breakdown. Volume, storage duration and specialty items drive the spread. | $1,000 to $5,000 |
| Debris removal and disposal, per container load | National price breakdown per container. After a named storm, hauling congestion pushes toward the top. | $400 to $900 |
| Named storm deductible on a $400,000 dwelling limit | Once we are on the job site, national illustration at one to five percent of the dwelling limit. | $4,000 to $20,000 |
| Generator supported response where the building has no power | National price breakdown. The generator is always placed outside the building. | $200 to $600 per visit |
| After hours or overnight dispatch charge | National price breakdown for nights, weekends and holidays, billed once rather than per hour. | $100 to $400 nationally |
How long the water sat before anyone got back
In plain words, hours means drying and cleaning. In plain words, days means removal of everything porous plus sealed work area and air quality work.Depth and how many levels flooded
Depth sets the flood cut height and the removal volume. A second flooded level right around doubles the work plan.Surge or rainfall water
In plain words, 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 frequently stay.Contents volume and the inventory work
To straighten this out, a furnished family home carries thousands of items.Power availability on site
Once we are on the job site, no utility power means generator support, which adds cost per visit.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
Once we are on the job site, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
Every day the building stayed closed multiplied the damage
Once we are on the job site, heat, humidity and no air movement turn a drying job into a removal job.
Growth is established rather than starting
In plain words, 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
Before we get to work, flood policies require a signed proof of loss, for the most part within 60 days of the loss unless the deadline is formally extended.
Saltwater keeps working after the water leaves
To straighten this out, 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

How the next step is decided
Storm surge is ocean water driven inland by wind and low pressure, and it shows up with sand, marsh mud and salt.
Read the explanation
Surge and rainfall leave different fingerprints and it is worth knowing which one you have. Storm surge is ocean water driven inland by wind and low pressure, and it shows up with sand, marsh mud and salt.
What may change the work
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
The flood cut is the technical decision that settles the size of the job. Gypsum board wicks water upward for days, so the wet line inside the wall sits above the visible mark on the paint.

Questions about hurricane flood cleanup
Does flood insurance cover hurricane flooding?
To straighten this out, yes, and this is the loss it is designed for. In plain words, flood policies need a general condition of flooding in the area, which a hurricane clearly creates.
How much does hurricane flood cleanup cost?
In plain words, nationally, a flooded single level home as a rule runs about $8,000 to $25,000. In plain words, one level taken back to the studs after days of water typically runs $10,000 to $30,000.
What is a hurricane deductible and why is mine so high?
In plain words, 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?
In plain words, surge is ocean water pushed inland by the storm, and it leaves sand, marsh sediment and salt behind.
To straighten this out, the house sat wet for a week. Can anything be saved?
Once we are on the job site, solid wood, masonry, framing and most hard goods as a rule can be. To straighten this out, drywall, insulation, carpet, padding and particleboard cabinetry that sat in floodwater for days cannot.
Once we are on the job site, there is already mold when I got back. What changes?
In plain words, the plan shifts from drying to removal, with sealed work area and air quality control. To straighten this out, growth after a week of wet heat is expected rather than unusual.
Can I clean it up myself to save money?
Before we get to work, some of it, carefully, and not the wet structure. Before we get to work, wear gloves and eye protection, wash your hands afterward, and keep small children, pets and anyone immunocompromised out until it is cleaned.
