Signs to look for

When to call us for hurricane flood cleanup

With documented progress, 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 documented progress, water that drained on its own left days of damage behind it. With documented progress, the absence of standing water tells you nothing about what soaked in.

The house was closed and hot the entire time

From the first oversight check, no power means no cooling and no air movement for days.

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

With documented progress, 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 meet the completion standard, 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

As our quality checks continue, that odor is bacteria and growth working on wet organic material. As our quality checks continue, it means the building has been biologically active for some time.

Cabinet bases and door bottoms have swelled and come apart

To meet the completion standard, particleboard and medium density fiberboard delaminate and never recover once they have swelled.

What happens

How we handle hurricane flood cleanup

Our quality-response 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 documented progress, power to the affected area goes off before anyone enters.

A return walkthrough with you, or documented for you

With documented progress, 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 meet the completion standard, sand, marsh deposits and a debris line point to surge. From the first oversight check, rainfall flooding leaves a different signature.

Standing water and saturated debris removed together

With documented progress, submersible pumps move whatever is left and crews clear soaked material in the same pass.

Honest salvage math after multi day exposure

From the first oversight check, porous material that sat in floodwater for days is removed rather than cleaned.

Flood cut above the wet line and insulation out

To meet the completion standard, 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 documented progress, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. With documented progress, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
Whole home hurricane flood cleanup, single level houseWith documented progress, 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 meet the completion standard, 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 stormWith documented progress, national estimate including contents handling and drying on both levels.$15,000 to $40,000
Floodwater cleanup priced by affected areaTo meet the completion standard, national estimate covering removal, cleaning, disinfection and drying of flooded area.$7 to $15 per square foot
Contents packout, cleaning and storage during the rebuildAs our quality checks continue, national estimate. To meet the completion standard, volume, storage duration and specialty items drive the spread.$1,000 to $5,000
Debris removal and disposal, per container loadTo meet the completion standard, national estimate per container. With documented progress, after a named storm, hauling congestion pushes toward the top.$400 to $900
Named storm deductible on a $400,000 dwelling limitTo meet the completion standard, national illustration at one to five percent of the dwelling limit. To meet the completion standard, your policy states your own percentage.$4,000 to $20,000
Generator supported response where the building has no powerAs our quality checks continue, national estimate. As our quality checks continue, the generator is always placed outside the building.$200 to $600 per visit
After hours or overnight dispatch chargeWith documented progress, 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
    As our quality checks continue, hours means drying and cleaning. As our quality checks continue, 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 quality plan.

  • Surge or rainfall water
    As our quality checks continue, surge brings salt, sand and marsh sediment and it corrodes what it touched.

  • How much has to be removed rather than cleaned
    With documented progress, drywall, insulation, cabinetry bases and flooring dominate the removal line. With documented progress, solid wood, masonry and plywood often stay.

  • Contents volume and the inventory work
    From the first oversight check, a furnished family home carries thousands of items.

  • Power availability on site
    To meet the completion standard, no utility power means generator support, which adds cost per visit. As our quality checks continue, a generator is always placed outside the building.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

To meet the completion standard, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Every day the building stayed closed multiplied the damage

To meet the completion standard, heat, humidity and no air movement turn a drying job into a removal job.

Growth is established rather than starting

As our quality checks continue, 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 meet the completion standard, 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

From the first oversight 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

As our quality checks continue, start with the short explanation. To meet the completion standard, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

From the first oversight check, a pipe break gets attention in minutes.

Read the explanation

From the first oversight 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

With documented progress, 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 meet the completion standard, surge and rainfall leave different fingerprints and it is worth knowing which one you have.

What may change the work

To meet the completion standard, 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

As our quality checks continue, 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?

From the first oversight check, yes, and this is the loss it is designed for. As our quality checks continue, flood policies need a general condition of flooding in the area, which a hurricane clearly creates.

How much does hurricane flood cleanup cost?

To meet the completion standard, nationally, a flooded single level home usually runs about $8,000 to $25,000. As our quality checks continue, 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?

As our quality checks continue, 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?

As our quality checks continue, surge is ocean water pushed inland by the storm, and it leaves sand, marsh sediment and salt behind.

From the first oversight check, the house sat wet for a week. Can anything be saved?

As our quality checks continue, solid wood, masonry, framing and most hard goods usually can be. From the first oversight check, drywall, insulation, carpet, padding and particleboard cabinetry that sat in floodwater for days cannot.

To meet the completion standard, there is already mold when I got back. What changes?

As our quality checks continue, the plan shifts from drying to removal, with sealed work area and air quality control. From the first oversight check, growth after a week of wet heat is expected rather than unusual.

Can I clean it up myself to save money?

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