Storm & Flood Damage Cleanup

Texas sees some of the country’s most intense flash-flood events. Storm and flood damage cleanup has its own set of considerations beyond a typical indoor leak.

Safety first

Never enter a flooded area if there’s any chance of electrical hazard, and don’t drive through flooded roads to get home — this is one of the leading causes of flood-related injury.

Flood water is different

Water from outside the home (storm surge, overflowing creeks, street flooding) is typically contaminated and requires the same category of caution as a sewage backup — don’t treat it like a clean-water spill.

Insurance note

Storm/flood damage from external water sources is often NOT covered by a standard homeowner’s policy — it usually requires separate flood insurance. See the full breakdown here.

What to do

Once flood water has receded and it’s safe to re-enter, extraction and drying need to start as soon as possible — contaminated water sitting in a structure accelerates both material damage and mold growth.
