Flood Damage Cleanup Services

Standing water is removed using professional extraction equipment designed for larger water losses.

Prompt flood water extraction helps reduce the amount of moisture absorbed by flooring, drywall, insulation, framing, and other materials.

Water may travel beyond the areas where flooding is immediately visible.

Professional flood water removal addresses standing water throughout affected rooms and helps prepare the property for drying, cleaning, and restoration.

Basements are particularly vulnerable to flooding because they are located below grade and may be affected by heavy rainfall, foundation seepage, sewer backups, sump pump failures, or plumbing problems.

Our basement flood cleanup services may include water extraction, debris removal, structural drying, sanitization, moisture monitoring, and restoration planning.

Heavy rain, severe storms, wind-driven water, and flash flooding can introduce significant amounts of water into a property.

RESCO provides storm flood cleanup to remove water, dry affected areas, address debris and contamination, and help restore damaged portions of the property.

Floodwater can enter crawl spaces through groundwater intrusion, drainage problems, heavy rainfall, or plumbing failures.

Our flooded crawl space cleanup services may include water extraction, debris removal, moisture detection, structural drying, sanitization, and evaluation of affected framing and insulation. Additional Crawl Space Cleanup may be required depending on the extent of the damage.

Flood-related odors may develop when moisture remains trapped in flooring, walls, insulation, furnishings, or other porous materials.

Professional odor removal focuses on identifying and treating the source of the odor rather than simply masking it.

Once water has been removed and affected areas are properly dried, damaged materials may need to be repaired or replaced.

Flood damage restoration may include drywall replacement, flooring repairs, insulation replacement, structural repairs, painting, and other restoration work depending on the extent of the loss.

Commercial properties may experience significant disruption following flooding.

RESCO provides commercial flood cleanup for offices, retail spaces, restaurants, apartment buildings, warehouses, managed properties, and other commercial facilities.

Our goal is to remove water, stabilize the property, and help businesses begin the restoration process as quickly as possible.

Technicians assess the source of the flooding, areas affected, level of contamination, building materials involved, and overall extent of the damage.

Standing water is removed using professional water extraction equipment. Removing water quickly helps prevent additional absorption into structural materials.

Technicians evaluate surrounding walls, flooring, ceilings, framing, and other materials for hidden moisture.

Air movers and dehumidifiers are positioned throughout affected areas to reduce moisture in both the air and building materials. Drying progress may be monitored using professional moisture detection equipment.

Affected materials are cleaned and sanitized as appropriate for the source and level of contamination. Materials that cannot be safely restored may require removal.

After cleanup and drying are complete, damaged materials may be repaired or replaced. The scope of flood damage repair depends on the severity of the loss and may include drywall, flooring, insulation, structural components, or other finishes.

Once restoration work is complete, affected areas are evaluated to confirm that drying and planned repairs have been completed and remaining concerns have been addressed.

Our team understands the challenges associated with floodwater, hidden moisture, structural drying, contamination, and property restoration.

Professional extraction equipment helps remove standing water quickly and efficiently.

Professional moisture meters help identify water that has traveled beneath surfaces or into concealed building materials.

RESCO provides flood restoration services for homeowners, business owners, property managers, and commercial facilities.

Our services include water removal, drying, sanitization, debris removal, odor treatment, damaged material removal, and restoration planning.

RESCO can assist with documenting flood-related damage and restoration work when an insurance claim is involved.

Prompt response can help limit moisture absorption, contamination, and secondary damage.

Flood cleanup should begin as soon as the property can be safely accessed. The longer water remains, the greater the risk of moisture spreading into structural materials and contributing to mold growth and deterioration.

Yes. Flooding introduces significant moisture into building materials. If affected areas are not dried properly, mold may begin developing. Prompt water extraction and structural drying help reduce this risk.

Coverage depends on the source of the flooding and your insurance policy. Standard property insurance may not cover flooding caused by outdoor rising water, which often requires separate flood insurance. Contact your insurer to confirm coverage for your specific loss.

The timeline depends on the amount of water involved, extent of contamination, materials affected, drying requirements, and repairs needed. Smaller restoration projects may take several days, while significant flood losses requiring extensive repairs may take longer.

It can be. Floodwater may contain sewage, bacteria, chemicals, microorganisms, mud, and other contaminants depending on its source. Avoid unnecessary contact and allow trained professionals to evaluate contaminated water losses.

It depends on the type of flooring, duration of exposure, amount of water involved, and level of contamination. Some hardwood, tile, and other materials may be salvageable when drying begins quickly, while heavily contaminated or damaged flooring may require removal.

Professional flood restoration may involve:

• Water extraction machines
• Pumps
• Air movers
• Commercial dehumidifiers
• Moisture meters
• Thermal or other moisture detection equipment
• HEPA filtration systems
• Cleaning and sanitization equipment

The equipment used depends on the conditions at the property.

Flood cleanup often involves larger quantities of water and may include contamination from outdoor sources, sewage, soil, or storm runoff.

Standard water damage restoration may involve cleaner internal water sources such as plumbing or appliance failures. Both require professional water removal and drying, but flood cleanup may also require additional sanitization and contaminated material removal.

Yes. RESCO provides flooded crawl space cleanup that may include standing water removal, drying, debris removal, sanitization, moisture monitoring, and evaluation of damaged structural materials.
