Flood & Water Cleanup: when you need it, cost factors, and quotes

The first job after a flood or leak is getting the water out and the wet materials sorted: what can be dried, and what has to go. When the water started and where it came from decide how fast a company needs to move and what equipment it brings.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • How soon can you start extraction?
  • Will you take moisture readings and photos, and can I have them?
  • What has to be removed, and why?
  • Do you work with my insurer's documentation requirements?
  • Is drying monitored, and for how long?

Frequently asked questions

Is floodwater different from a leak?

Yes. Water from a clean supply line is handled differently from floodwater or sewage, which can be contaminated. Ready.gov advises against wading in floodwater for that reason. Say where the water came from in your brief.

Should I start pulling up carpet myself?

Only if it's safe: power to the area is off or confirmed safe, and the water isn't sewage. Photograph everything first; your insurer may want to see it.
