What gets handled

Flood Damage Cleanup Services, From Mud to Dry

Unlike a clean-water leak, a flood requires mud removal, demolition below the waterline, and full sanitizing before the structure can be dried.

24/7 Emergency Flood Damage Cleanup experts in Santa Cruz, CA
M

Muck-Out Service

Crews shovel and squeegee silt off floors, haul debris to a dumpster, and pressure wash hard surfaces so nothing contaminated is left behind.

F

Drywall and Insulation Tear-Out

Drywall, insulation, and baseboards are typically removed at least a foot or two above the visible flood line, since water wicks higher than it looks.

D

Antimicrobial Sanitizing

Framing, slabs, and any salvaged surfaces are scrubbed and treated with EPA-registered antimicrobial products to kill bacteria and slow mold growth.

A

Post-Flood Dehumidification

After sanitizing, drying equipment runs until moisture readings say the structure is ready for repairs.

C

Handling Flooded Belongings

Soft items soaked in floodwater are usually discarded, while hard goods may be cleaned. Everything is listed for the adjuster.
