How a flood cleanup goes

A flooded basement gets pumped out first. Then we pull out the carpet, pad and drywall that floodwater soaked, because those can't be cleaned well enough to keep, and sanitize what is left. Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the structure, and when the readings say it is dry our crew rebuilds. We answer 24/7 across Green Bay and Northeast Wisconsin, and the estimate is free.

Why Basements Flood

When flooding hits Northeast Wisconsin homes

Most flooding here starts outside, when more water reaches the foundation than the ground and drains can handle. Water that comes in from outside often carries soil, sewage and chemicals, so it needs more than a mop. We see it most often with:

  • Spring thaw, when snowmelt runs over ground that is still frozen
  • Heavy summer storms that overwhelm yards, drains and storm sewers
  • Window wells that fill up and leak into the basement
  • Failed sump pumps, often when the power goes out in a storm
  • Poor grading and downspouts that send water toward the house
  • Rising water for homes near rivers, creeks and the bay

Our Flood Cleanup Services

What our flood cleanup includes

  • Water removal. We pump out and extract the standing water so the rest of the work can start.
  • Removing what can't be saved. Soaked carpet, carpet pad and lower drywall usually come out, because floodwater contaminates porous materials.
  • Cleaning and sanitizing. Floors, walls and framing that the floodwater touched are cleaned and sanitized.
  • Drying and dehumidifying. Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the structure, and moisture readings tell us when it is truly dry, to stop mold before it starts.
  • Repairs by the same company. Drywall, flooring, paint and full rebuilds, so you don't have to find a contractor after the cleanup.

Cost & Insurance

What does flood damage cleanup cost?

Every flood is different, so we price the job after we see it, and the estimate is free.

What affects the price

  • How much water there was and how much of the home it reached
  • Whether the water is contaminated, which floodwater from outside usually is
  • How long it sat before cleanup started
  • Which materials have to be removed and replaced
  • How much rebuilding is needed afterward

Will insurance pay for it?

Standard homeowners policies usually exclude flooding from outside, such as surface water, storm runoff or rising water. That coverage comes from a separate flood policy, through the NFIP or a private insurer, and flood policies often limit what they cover in basements. Water that starts inside, like a burst pipe, is usually handled under your homeowners policy, and a failed sump pump may be covered if you have a water backup endorsement.

Every policy is different, so your insurer decides what is covered. Recoveron is a preferred vendor for major insurance companies. We photograph and document the damage so your adjuster, whether homeowners or flood, has what they need.

Flood damage cleanup questions

How long does it take to dry out a flooded basement?

Most flooded basements take about 3 to 5 days to dry with professional air movers and dehumidifiers. The time depends on how much water there was, how long it sat and what got wet. Recoveron technicians check moisture levels until the structure is fully dry. Our guide explains how long it takes to dry out a flooded basement.

It can be risky. Floodwater from outside often carries sewage, soil and chemicals, so everything it soaked needs to be cleaned and sanitized, and porous materials like carpet pad and drywall usually have to be removed. Stay out of standing water near outlets or cords, and call Recoveron at 920-469-3473 for help.

Usually not, if the water came from outside. Rising water or surface runoff is usually excluded from a standard homeowners policy and needs separate flood insurance. Water from inside the home, like a burst pipe, usually is covered. Every policy is different. Recoveron is a preferred vendor for major insurance companies and can help you through the claim.

First, stay safe: stay out of standing water near outlets or cords, and stop the water at the source if you safely can. Move valuables to a dry area and take photos for your insurance claim. Then call Recoveron at 920-469-3473. The sooner drying starts, the less has to be torn out.

It depends on how much water there was, whether it was contaminated, how long it sat and how much has to be removed and rebuilt. A basement with carpet and finished walls takes more work than bare concrete. Recoveron looks at the damage first and gives you a free estimate, so you know the scope before any work starts.

Usually, when the floodwater came from outside. Carpet pad and other porous materials that soaked up contaminated water can’t be cleaned well enough to keep, and wet drywall is usually cut out above the water line so the wall behind it can dry. Hard surfaces like concrete can often be cleaned, sanitized and dried in place. We replace what was removed once everything is dry.

You can do both the same day, and you don’t need to wait for an adjuster to start protecting your home. Take photos first, then call us to stop the damage from spreading and call your insurer to open a claim. Most policies expect you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. We document the work so your adjuster can see what was done and why.
