The water damage technician checks soaked floors and wall bases after a storm. A roofer handles any roof opening that let wind-driven rain inside.

How River Flood Home Cleanup Works in Plains

1. Assess hazards and water depth

   The contractor photographs conditions and chooses protective measures for the contaminated area.

2. Extract standing floodwater

   The contractor records the water removed and checks whether entry continues during the job.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   The crew opens affected wall bases when contaminated materials cannot be restored in place.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Dehumidifiers and directed airflow dry remaining materials while meter readings show progress.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Porous materials need attention after outside flooding. When left wet, they can support mold before two days have passed.

• Follow local reentry directions and avoid flood-covered roads.
• Stay out of rooms with damaged wiring or visible structural movement.
• Do not restart wet appliances or electrical equipment.
• Record the high-water mark and visible silt from a safe position.
• Call 24/7 with the water depth and duration of flooding.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

The flood policy may distinguish building damage from contents. A contractor’s records can support both descriptions when those items are affected. Only the insurer interprets the policy.

• Photograph the first visible water mark
• Note the apparent water entry path
• Check the policy deductible

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
