What Affects the Cost of Flood Damage Cleanup

Every flood is different, and we provide a written estimate before work begins. Most internal flooding is covered by insurance. Cost depends on:

• The water category — clean internal flooding vs. contaminated storm or creek water
• How much of the home is affected and how long the water sat
• Whether mud, debris, and contaminated materials require removal and disposal
• The extent of structural drying required versus material replacement
• Whether the loss is covered by your homeowners policy or requires a flood policy claim
