Signs to look for

When to call us for hurricane flood cleanup

As moisture readings guide drying, 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

As moisture readings guide drying, water that drained on its own left days of damage behind it.

The house was closed and hot the entire time

Through the final dry check, no power means no cooling and no air movement for days.

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

As moisture readings guide drying, 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

To control the wet boundary, 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

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

Cabinet bases and door bottoms have swelled and come apart

To control the wet boundary, particleboard and medium density fiberboard delaminate and never recover once they have swelled.

What happens

How we handle hurricane flood cleanup

Our water-damage technicians 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

As moisture readings guide drying, power to the affected area goes off before anyone enters.

A return walkthrough with you, or documented for you

As moisture readings guide drying, 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

To control the wet boundary, sand, marsh deposits and a debris line point to surge. Through the final dry check, rainfall flooding leaves a different signature.

Standing water and saturated debris removed together

As moisture readings guide drying, submersible pumps move whatever is left and crews clear soaked material in the same pass.

Honest salvage math after multi day exposure

Through the final dry check, porous material that sat in floodwater for days is removed rather than cleaned.

Flood cut above the wet line and insulation out

To control the wet boundary, 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

As moisture readings guide drying, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. As moisture readings guide drying, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
Whole home hurricane flood cleanup, single level houseAs moisture readings guide drying, 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 waterTo control the wet boundary, 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 stormAs moisture readings guide drying, national estimate including contents handling and drying on both levels.$15,000 to $40,000
Floodwater cleanup priced by affected areaTo control the wet boundary, national estimate covering removal, cleaning, disinfection and drying of flooded area.$7 to $15 per square foot
Contents packout, cleaning and storage during the rebuildFrom the source check, national estimate. To control the wet boundary, volume, storage duration and specialty items drive the spread.$1,000 to $5,000
Debris removal and disposal, per container loadTo control the wet boundary, national estimate per container. As moisture readings guide drying, after a named storm, hauling congestion pushes toward the top.$400 to $900
Named storm deductible on a $400,000 dwelling limitTo control the wet boundary, national illustration at one to five percent of the dwelling limit. To control the wet boundary, your policy states your own percentage.$4,000 to $20,000
Generator supported response where the building has no powerFrom the source check, national estimate. From the source check, the generator is always placed outside the building.$200 to $600 per visit
After hours or overnight dispatch chargeAs moisture readings guide drying, 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
    From the source check, hours means drying and cleaning. From the source check, 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 roughly doubles the drying plan.

  • Surge or rainfall water
    From the source check, surge brings salt, sand and marsh sediment and it corrodes what it touched.

  • How much has to be removed rather than cleaned
    As moisture readings guide drying, drywall, insulation, cabinetry bases and flooring dominate the removal line. As moisture readings guide drying, solid wood, masonry and plywood often stay.

  • Contents volume and the inventory work
    Through the final dry check, a furnished family home carries thousands of items.

  • Power availability on site
    To control the wet boundary, no utility power means generator support, which adds cost per visit. From the source check, a generator is always placed outside the building.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

To control the wet boundary, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Every day the building stayed closed multiplied the damage

To control the wet boundary, heat, humidity and no air movement turn a drying job into a removal job.

Growth is established rather than starting

From the source check, 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

To control the wet boundary, 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

Through the final dry check, 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

From the source check, start with the short explanation. To control the wet boundary, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

Through the final dry check, a pipe break gets attention in minutes.

Read the explanation

Through the final dry check, 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

As moisture readings guide drying, storm surge is ocean water driven inland by wind and low pressure, and it arrives with sand, marsh mud and salt.

Read the explanation

To control the wet boundary, surge and rainfall leave different fingerprints and it is worth knowing which one you have.

What may change the work

To control the wet boundary, 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

From the source check, the flood cut is the technical decision that decides the size of the job.

Common questions

Questions about hurricane flood cleanup

Does flood insurance cover hurricane flooding?

Through the final dry check, yes, and this is the loss it is designed for. From the source check, flood policies need a general condition of flooding in the area, which a hurricane clearly creates.

How much does hurricane flood cleanup cost?

To control the wet boundary, nationally, a flooded single level home usually runs about $8,000 to $25,000. From the source check, 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?

From the source check, 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?

From the source check, surge is ocean water pushed inland by the storm, and it leaves sand, marsh sediment and salt behind.

Through the final dry check, the house sat wet for a week. Can anything be saved?

From the source check, solid wood, masonry, framing and most hard goods usually can be. Through the final dry check, drywall, insulation, carpet, padding and particleboard cabinetry that sat in floodwater for days cannot.

To control the wet boundary, there is already mold when I got back. What changes?

From the source check, the plan shifts from drying to removal, with sealed work area and air quality control. Through the final dry check, growth after a week of wet heat is expected rather than unusual.

Can I clean it up myself to save money?

As moisture readings guide drying, some of it, carefully, and not the wet structure. As moisture readings guide drying, wear gloves and eye protection, wash your hands afterward, and keep small children, pets and anyone immunocompromised out until it is cleaned.
