Signs to look for
When to call us for house flood cleanup
As hidden moisture is traced, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
The stairs are wet
To protect nearby materials, stairs connect the drying zone to the rest of the house, so they matter more than their square footage suggests.
The kitchen is in the affected area
From the first damage clue, kitchen cabinets, toe kicks and appliance bases hold water where you cannot see it. During the watchful inspection, whether the kitchen stays usable is usually the single biggest factor in whether the family stays home.
A bathroom is involved
To protect nearby materials, a bathroom vanity, its base and the flooring under it are common hidden wet spots.
Bedrooms and where people sleep are wet
During the watchful inspection, wet bedroom carpet and carpet padding cannot be slept over, even when the surface feels dry.
You cannot keep children and pets out of the wet area
During the watchful inspection, an open plan house or a single hallway layout makes separation hard.
