What to do now

Typical steps on a flood job

Crews usually work through this list:

Pumping and extraction in stages
Silt and debris removal
Stripping of porous materials
Washing and disinfecting framing
Dehumidification and monitored drying

Each step is recorded so the owner and the insurer can see how the structure was recovered. Once the building is clean, structural drying finishes the job and confirms the readings. Photos of the water line, the removed materials and the final readings are all kept.

The details

Understanding flood damage cleanup

Flood losses combine deep water, silt and contamination. The crew removes the water in stages, strips porous materials and dries what is left, because anything touched by flood water starts to degrade quickly. Smaller rain events are covered on the storm water page, while deeper losses are handled here.

The valley's history with water

Piru sits in the Santa Clara River Valley beside Piru Creek. On March 12, 1928 the St. Francis Dam broke and a torrent ran down the valley through town. That is history, not a forecast, but it explains why flood readiness matters in a river valley.

What flood cleanup involves

Pumps lower the water gradually, because removing it too fast can stress walls and floors. Mud is shoveled and flushed out, saturated drywall, insulation, carpet and pad are hauled away and framing is washed and sanitized before drying equipment goes in. Floodwater that reaches electrical outlets, appliances or ductwork creates extra concerns, so those items are tagged for inspection by a qualified electrician before they are used again.

Questions

Flood Damage Cleanup questions

Still dealing with it?

(888) 578-6508 (888) 578-6508Tell dispatch how deep the water is

Is floodwater always contaminated?

Treat it that way. Creek and river water carries silt and bacteria, so porous materials it touches are normally removed.

Can the house be dried without tearing things out?

Only in light cases. Deep or dirty water usually means drywall, insulation and flooring have to be taken out first.

Does homeowners insurance cover flood?

Standard policies often exclude it, and a separate flood policy may apply. The insurer can confirm what is covered.

How long does flood cleanup take?

Removal can take a few days and drying a week or more, depending on how deep the water was and what it soaked.

What should be thrown away?

Porous items such as mattresses, carpet and padded furniture that sat in floodwater are generally discarded.
