Signs to look for
When to call us for hurricane flood cleanup
With clear direction, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
The house was closed and hot the entire time
From cleanup toward a fresh start, no power means no cooling and no air movement for days.
Growth is visible on baseboards, furniture legs or the back of doors
With clear direction, 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
As the property gets back on track, 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
For a smoother recovery, that odor is bacteria and growth working on wet organic material. For a smoother recovery, it means the building has been biologically active for some time.
Cabinet bases and door bottoms have swelled and come apart
As the property gets back on track, particleboard and medium density fiberboard delaminate and never recover once they have swelled.
What happens

Honest salvage math after multi day exposure
From cleanup toward a fresh start, porous material that sat in floodwater for days is removed rather than cleaned.
Flood cut above the wet line and insulation out

Every day the building stayed closed multiplied the damage
As the property gets back on track, heat, humidity and no air movement turn a drying job into a removal job.
Growth is established rather than starting
For a smoother recovery, mold can begin within 24 to 48 hours, so after a week it is part of the condition of the building.

Common questions
Questions about hurricane flood cleanup

What is a hurricane deductible and why is mine so high?

What is the difference between storm surge and flooding from rain?
