Rising water from a river, creek, or flash flood is never clean. When it pulls back, it leaves mud, debris, and bacteria in every surface it touched. Flood cleanup means removing contaminated materials, sanitizing what stays, and then drying the structure.

Silt, mud, and debris are scraped out and hauled away, then hard surfaces are washed down.
Contaminated drywall and insulation come out above the flood line to catch water that wicked upward.

After sanitizing, drying equipment runs until moisture readings say the structure is ready for repairs.
Soft items soaked in floodwater are usually discarded, while hard goods may be cleaned. Everything is listed for the adjuster.

Usually not under a standard policy. Flood coverage typically requires a separate flood insurance policy, so talk to your agent.
Usually at least a foot or two above the visible flood line, because water wicks upward. In deeper floods, entire walls may come out.
