Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between water damage and flood damage?
"Water damage" typically refers to a sudden, internal source like a burst pipe or appliance failure. "Flood damage" usually refers to external water — rising water from storms, rivers, or heavy rain entering a home. This distinction matters for insurance too, since standard homeowners policies generally don't cover external flooding without a separate flood insurance policy.
Is floodwater safe to clean up myself?
Not usually. Floodwater often carries contamination from soil, sewage, or chemicals, and standing water can hide structural or electrical hazards. Debris removal and sanitizing affected areas is typically handled as part of professional cleanup rather than DIY.
How long does structural drying take after a flood?
It depends on how much water intruded and what materials were affected. Drying is generally monitored with moisture meters rather than a fixed timeline — a space isn't considered dry until moisture readings in the walls and flooring return to a normal range, not just when it looks dry on the surface.
