Signs to look for

When to call us for hurricane flood cleanup

With a crew geared up, 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

With a crew geared up, water that drained on its own left days of damage behind it.

The house was closed and hot the entire time

So mobilization stays on track, no power means no cooling and no air movement for days.

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

With a crew geared up, 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

For an always-ready response, 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

Because we answer at any hour, that odor is bacteria and growth working on wet organic material.

Cabinet bases and door bottoms have swelled and come apart

For an always-ready response, particleboard and medium density fiberboard delaminate and never recover once they have swelled. So mobilization stays on track, plywood boxes and solid wood in many cases survive.

What happens

How we handle hurricane flood cleanup

Our always-ready 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

With a crew geared up, power to the affected area goes off before anyone enters.

A return walkthrough with you, or documented for you

With a crew geared up, 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

For an always-ready response, sand, marsh deposits and a debris line point to surge. So mobilization stays on track, rainfall flooding leaves a different signature.

Standing water and saturated debris removed together

With a crew geared up, submersible pumps move whatever is left and crews clear soaked material in the same pass.

Honest salvage math after multi day exposure

So mobilization stays on track, porous material that sat in floodwater for days is removed rather than cleaned.

Flood cut above the wet line and insulation out

For an always-ready response, 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

With a crew geared up, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. With a crew geared up, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
Whole home hurricane flood cleanup, single level houseNationwide cost range 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 waterNationwide cost range 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 stormNationwide cost range including contents handling and drying on both levels.$15,000 to $40,000
Floodwater cleanup priced by affected areaNationwide cost range covering removal, cleaning, disinfection and drying of flooded area.$7 to $15 per square foot
Contents packout, cleaning and storage during the rebuildNationwide cost range. Volume, storage duration and specialty items drive the spread.$1,000 to $5,000
Debris removal and disposal, per container loadNationwide cost range per container. After a named storm, hauling congestion pushes toward the top.$400 to $900
Named storm deductible on a $400,000 dwelling limitFor an always-ready response, national illustration at one to five percent of the dwelling limit. For an always-ready response, your policy states your own percentage.$4,000 to $20,000
Generator supported response where the building has no powerNationwide cost range. The generator is always positioned outside the building.$200 to $600 per visit
After hours or overnight dispatch chargeNationwide cost range for nights, weekends and holidays, billed once rather than per hour.$100 to $400 nationally

  • How long the water sat before anyone got back
    Because we answer at any hour, hours means drying and cleaning.

  • Depth and how many levels flooded
    For an always-ready response, depth sets the flood cut height and the removal volume. So mobilization stays on track, a second flooded level roughly doubles the work plan.

  • Surge or rainfall water
    Because we answer at any hour, 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 in many cases stay.

  • Contents volume and the inventory work
    So mobilization stays on track, a furnished family home carries thousands of items.

  • Power availability on site
    No utility power means generator support, which adds cost per site call. A generator is always positioned outside the building.

Why timing counts

What can happen when the area stays wet

For an always-ready response, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Every day the building stayed closed multiplied the damage

For an always-ready response, heat, humidity and no air movement turn a drying job into a removal job.

Growth is established rather than starting

Because we answer at any hour, 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

For an always-ready response, 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

So mobilization stays on track, surge leaves salt in framing, fasteners and wiring, and saltwater corrosion continues in humid air.

What to know about hurricane flood cleanup

Because we answer at any hour, start with the short explanation. For an always-ready response, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

A pipe break gets attention in minutes.

Read the explanation

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

Storm surge is ocean water driven inland by wind and low pressure, and it arrives 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 arrives 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 decides 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.

Common questions

Questions about hurricane flood cleanup

Does flood insurance cover hurricane flooding?

So mobilization stays on track, yes, and this is the loss it is designed for. Because we answer at any hour, flood policies need a general condition of flooding in the area, which a hurricane clearly creates.

How much does hurricane flood cleanup cost?

Because we answer at any hour, nationally, a flooded single level home ordinarily runs about $8,000 to $25,000. Because we answer at any hour, 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?

So mobilization stays on track, it is a deductible set as a percentage of your dwelling limit instead of a flat amount, in most cases one to five percent.

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

Because we answer at any hour, surge is ocean water pushed inland by the storm, and it leaves sand, marsh sediment and salt behind.

So mobilization stays on track, the house sat wet for a week. Can anything be saved?

For an always-ready response, solid wood, masonry, framing and most hard goods ordinarily can be. So mobilization stays on track, drywall, insulation, carpet, padding and particleboard cabinetry that sat in floodwater for days cannot.

For an always-ready response, there is already mold when I got back. What changes?

Because we answer at any hour, the plan shifts from drying to removal, with sealed work area and air quality control.

Can I clean it up myself to save money?

With a crew geared up, some of it, carefully, and not the wet structure. With a crew geared up, wear gloves and eye protection, wash your hands afterward, and keep small children, pets and anyone immunocompromised out until it is cleaned.
