Inspect
We assess how far floodwater traveled and which materials absorbed it, room by room.
Contain
We section off affected areas so cleanup work doesn't spread contamination to dry parts of the home.

Water-damaged drywall, flooring, and insulation are removed, since flood water often can't be fully sanitized in place.

How fast should I call after a flood?

It depends on how much of the home was affected. We'll walk you through what areas need to be closed off during the work.

We answer our line 24/7 and can usually reach a Sauget home the same day you call, sooner for an active leak.
