The water is already gone but the line is on every wall
For a professional recovery, water that drained on its own left days of damage behind it. For a professional recovery, the absence of standing water tells you nothing about what soaked in.

Signs to look for
When to call us for hurricane flood cleanup
For a professional recovery, 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
With a durable result in mind, no power means no cooling and no air movement for days.
Growth is visible on baseboards, furniture legs or the back of doors
For a professional recovery, 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
As each stage is completed, 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
Through an organized response, that odor is bacteria and growth working on wet organic material. Through an organized response, it means the building has been biologically active for some time.
Cabinet bases and door bottoms have swelled and come apart
As each stage is completed, particleboard and medium density fiberboard delaminate and never recover once they have swelled.
What happens
How we handle hurricane flood cleanup
Our professional recovery 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
For a professional recovery, power to the affected area goes off before anyone enters.
A return walkthrough with you, or documented for you
For a professional recovery, 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
As each stage is completed, sand, marsh deposits and a debris line point to surge. With a durable result in mind, rainfall flooding leaves a different signature.
Standing water and saturated debris removed together
For a professional recovery, submersible pumps move whatever is left and crews clear soaked material in the same pass.
Honest salvage math after multi day exposure
With a durable result in mind, porous material that sat in floodwater for days is removed rather than cleaned.
Flood cut above the wet line and insulation out
As each stage is completed, 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
For a professional recovery, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. For a professional recovery, 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 | For a professional recovery, 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 | As each stage is completed, 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 | For a professional recovery, national estimate including contents handling and drying on both levels. | $15,000 to $40,000 |
| Floodwater cleanup priced by affected area | As each stage is completed, 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 | Through an organized response, national estimate. As each stage is completed, volume, storage duration and specialty items drive the spread. | $1,000 to $5,000 |
| Debris removal and disposal, per container load | As each stage is completed, national estimate per container. For a professional recovery, after a named storm, hauling congestion pushes toward the top. | $400 to $900 |
| Named storm deductible on a $400,000 dwelling limit | As each stage is completed, national illustration at one to five percent of the dwelling limit. As each stage is completed, your policy states your own percentage. | $4,000 to $20,000 |
| Generator supported response where the building has no power | Through an organized response, national estimate. Through an organized response, the generator is always placed outside the building. | $200 to $600 per visit |
| After hours or overnight dispatch charge | For a professional recovery, 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
Through an organized response, hours means drying and cleaning. Through an organized response, 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 professional plan.Surge or rainfall water
Through an organized response, surge brings salt, sand and marsh sediment and it corrodes what it touched.How much has to be removed rather than cleaned
For a professional recovery, drywall, insulation, cabinetry bases and flooring dominate the removal line. For a professional recovery, solid wood, masonry and plywood often stay.Contents volume and the inventory work
With a durable result in mind, a furnished family home carries thousands of items.Power availability on site
As each stage is completed, no utility power means generator support, which adds cost per visit. Through an organized response, a generator is always placed outside the building.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
As each stage is completed, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
Every day the building stayed closed multiplied the damage
As each stage is completed, heat, humidity and no air movement turn a drying job into a removal job.
Growth is established rather than starting
Through an organized response, 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
As each stage is completed, 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
With a durable result in mind, 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
Through an organized response, start with the short explanation. As each stage is completed, open a card if you want a little more detail.
What is happening inside the property
With a durable result in mind, a pipe break gets attention in minutes.
Read the explanation
With a durable result in mind, 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 a professional recovery, storm surge is ocean water driven inland by wind and low pressure, and it arrives with sand, marsh mud and salt.
Read the explanation
As each stage is completed, surge and rainfall leave different fingerprints and it is worth knowing which one you have.
What may change the work
As each stage is completed, 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
Through an organized response, the flood cut is the technical decision that decides the size of the job.

Questions about hurricane flood cleanup
Does flood insurance cover hurricane flooding?
With a durable result in mind, yes, and this is the loss it is designed for. Through an organized response, flood policies need a general condition of flooding in the area, which a hurricane clearly creates.
How much does hurricane flood cleanup cost?
As each stage is completed, nationally, a flooded single level home usually runs about $8,000 to $25,000. Through an organized response, 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?
Through an organized response, 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?
Through an organized response, surge is ocean water pushed inland by the storm, and it leaves sand, marsh sediment and salt behind.
With a durable result in mind, the house sat wet for a week. Can anything be saved?
Through an organized response, solid wood, masonry, framing and most hard goods usually can be. With a durable result in mind, drywall, insulation, carpet, padding and particleboard cabinetry that sat in floodwater for days cannot.
As each stage is completed, there is already mold when I got back. What changes?
Through an organized response, the plan shifts from drying to removal, with sealed work area and air quality control. With a durable result in mind, growth after a week of wet heat is expected rather than unusual.
Can I clean it up myself to save money?
For a professional recovery, some of it, carefully, and not the wet structure. For a professional recovery, wear gloves and eye protection, wash your hands afterward, and keep small children, pets and anyone immunocompromised out until it is cleaned.
