Signs to look for
When to call us for flash flood cleanup
With damage contained, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
There is a debris load at the door line and against the walls
As our controlled response continues, leaves, mulch, gravel, trash and street grit come in with fast water. With damage contained, that material holds moisture against the base of everything it touches.
Sediment fans out from the entry point across the floor
To protect the property, fast water drops what it carried as it slows down and spreads.
Water came down the driveway and through the garage
Before materials deteriorate further, a driveway slope that runs toward the house turns the garage into the first room to flood.
A window well filled and pushed water past an egress window
With damage contained, window wells fill faster than they drain in a downpour, and the pressure gets water past the frame.
The street was running like a river and the storm drain was overwhelmed
With damage contained, when the curb line carries more than the catch basin can take, the overflow finds the lowest opening nearby.
What happens
How we handle flash flood cleanup
Our property-protection team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Entry safety before anyone goes in
With damage contained, power to the affected area goes off before anyone enters.
Same day response, because the window is short
To protect the property, material that sat in water for two hours behaves very differently from material that sat overnight.
Every low entry point checked, not just the obvious one
As our controlled response continues, window well, garage, walkout door, floor drain, area drain and the point where the driveway slope meets the house.
Bulk removal with the debris load in the same pass
With damage contained, submersible pumps handle standing water while crews clear leaves, gravel and trash. To protect the property, a truck mounted extractor then pulls water out of carpet and hard flooring.
Grit and sediment removed as its own stage
To protect the property, fast water carries far more solid material per gallon than slow water does.
Water contained and taken to controlled disposal
As our controlled response continues, street water carrying fuel, oil or lawn chemicals is contained and extracted to an approved discharge point.

Common questions
Questions about flash flood cleanup
As our controlled response continues, the water drained on its own. Do I still need cleanup?
With damage contained, yes, in almost every case. As our controlled response continues, the water leaving does not remove what soaked into wall bases, flooring and insulation.
How much does flash flood cleanup cost?
To protect the property, nationally, a same day call with water only usually runs about $900 to $2,500.
Does homeowners insurance cover flash flooding?
As our controlled response continues, standard homeowners policies exclude surface water and outdoor flooding, so normally no. Before materials deteriorate further, separate flood coverage is what responds to a flash flood.
Why is a flash flood different from other flooding?
As our controlled response continues, it is defined by speed. Before materials deteriorate further, water arrives within minutes to a couple of hours of the rain and often drains just as fast.
How much warning do you get before a flash flood?
Before materials deteriorate further, often very little, which is the point of the name. Before materials deteriorate further, a flash flood warning can precede water on the street by well under an hour.
Can I clean it up myself?
Before materials deteriorate further, some of it, with care. With damage contained, a shop vacuum handles about an inch and no more, and this water came from outside.
Can I squeegee the water out of the garage into the driveway?
Before materials deteriorate further, no. With damage contained, water off a driveway or street can carry fuel, oil and lawn chemicals, and pushing it outside sends that to the storm drain.
