Signs to look for

When to call us for hurricane flood cleanup

As the coordinated steps continue, 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 the coordinated steps continue, water that drained on its own left days of damage behind it.

The house was closed and hot the entire time

To keep the incident under control, no power means no cooling and no air movement for days.

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

As the coordinated steps continue, 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 status check, 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

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

Cabinet bases and door bottoms have swelled and come apart

From the first status check, particleboard and medium density fiberboard delaminate and never recover once they have swelled.

What happens

How we take command of hurricane flood cleanup

Our incident command team adjusts the work to which materials took on water, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

Entry safety on a building nobody has been inside for days

From the first status check, power to the area inside the incident zone goes off before anyone enters. As the coordinated steps continue, 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

If reentry rules keep you out, we walk it with scene scene photos and video and send you the incident file.

Surge or rainfall established and written down

From the first status check, sand, marsh deposits and a debris line point to surge. To keep the incident under control, rainfall flooding leaves a different signature.

Standing water and saturated debris removed together

As the coordinated steps continue, submersible pumps move whatever is left and crews clear soaked material in the same pass.

Honest salvage math after multi day exposure

To keep the incident under control, 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 status check, 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 the coordinated steps continue, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. As the coordinated steps continue, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situation	What the estimate may include	Typical range
Whole home hurricane flood cleanup, single level house	As the coordinated steps continue, 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 water	From the first status check, 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 storm	As the coordinated steps continue, national estimate including contents handling and drying on both levels.	$15,000 to $40,000
Floodwater cleanup priced by affected area	From the first status check, national estimate covering removal, cleaning, disinfection and drying of flooded area.	$7 to $15 per square foot
Contents packout, cleaning and storage during the rebuild	With the scene stabilized, national estimate. From the first status check, volume, storage duration and specialty items drive the spread.	$1,000 to $5,000
Debris removal and disposal, per container load	From the first status check, national estimate per container. As the coordinated steps continue, after a named storm, hauling congestion pushes toward the top.	$400 to $900
Named storm deductible on a $400,000 dwelling limit	From the first status check, national illustration at one to five percent of the dwelling limit. From the first status check, your policy states your own percentage.	$4,000 to $20,000
Generator supported response where the building has no power	With the scene stabilized, national estimate. With the scene stabilized, the generator is always placed outside the building.	$200 to $600 per visit
After hours or overnight dispatch charge	As the coordinated steps continue, 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
With the scene stabilized, hours means drying and cleaning. With the scene stabilized, days means removal of everything porous plus sealed work area and air quality work.
Depth and how many levels flooded
From the first status check, depth sets the flood cut height and the removal volume. To keep the incident under control, a second flooded level roughly doubles the work plan.
Surge or rainfall water
With the scene stabilized, surge brings salt, sand and marsh sediment and it corrodes what it touched.
How much has to be removed rather than cleaned
As the coordinated steps continue, drywall, insulation, cabinetry bases and flooring dominate the removal line. As the coordinated steps continue, solid wood, masonry and plywood often stay.
Contents volume and the inventory work
To keep the incident under control, a furnished family home carries thousands of items.
Power availability on site
From the first status check, no utility power means generator support, which adds cost per visit. With the scene stabilized, a generator is always placed outside the building.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

From the first status check, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Every day the building stayed closed multiplied the damage

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

Growth is established rather than starting

With the scene stabilized, 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 keep the incident under control, flood policies require a signed proof of loss, generally within 60 days of the incident unless the deadline is formally extended.

Saltwater keeps working after the water leaves

To keep the incident under control, 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

With the scene stabilized, start with the short explanation. From the first status check, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

To keep the incident under control, a pipe break gets attention in minutes.

Read the explanation

To keep the incident under control, 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 the coordinated steps continue, 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 status check, surge and rainfall leave different fingerprints and it is worth knowing which one you have.

What may change the work

From the first status check, 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

With the scene stabilized, 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?

With the scene stabilized, yes, and this is the incident it is designed for. With the scene stabilized, 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 status check, nationally, a flooded single level home usually runs about $8,000 to $25,000. With the scene stabilized, 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?

With the scene stabilized, 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?

With the scene stabilized, surge is ocean water pushed inland by the storm, and it leaves sand, marsh sediment and salt behind.

To keep the incident under control, the house sat wet for a week. Can anything be saved?

With the scene stabilized, solid wood, masonry, framing and most hard goods usually can be. To keep the incident under control, drywall, insulation, carpet, padding and particleboard cabinetry that sat in floodwater for days cannot.

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

From the first status check, the incident plan shifts from drying to removal, with sealed work area and air quality control. To keep the incident under control, growth after a week of wet heat is expected rather than unusual.

Can I clean it up myself to save money?

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