What Flood Damage Cleanup May Include

Floodwater from storms, surface runoff, plumbing failures, or indoor overflows can affect flooring, walls, contents, and building materials. Request an assessment for a Houston-area home, rental, or commercial property.

The appropriate scope depends on the source, affected materials, safety conditions, access, contamination concerns, and how far moisture or residue has traveled. A participating provider should explain the proposed work before authorization.

For urgent requests, call (713) 532-9167. For non-life-safety requests, use the assessment form and describe the property, ZIP code, affected areas, source, and current conditions.

Common questions

Flood Damage Cleanup FAQ

Moisture meter checking hidden moisture after flood damage
Is floodwater always contaminated?

The source and route of the water determine the risk. Outdoor floodwater and sewage-affected water should be treated cautiously until a qualified provider evaluates the conditions.

What should I do before help arrives?

Avoid wet electrical areas, stop the source only if safe, keep people and pets away, and document visible conditions without entering hazardous areas.

Can commercial properties request cleanup?

Yes. Residential and commercial requests can be submitted, subject to provider coverage, access, equipment needs, and project scope.
