A flood isn't a bigger water leak — it's a fundamentally different problem. Floodwater is classified Category 3 by the IICRC, meaning contamination with bacteria, chemicals, sewage, and soil. Our Akron crews wear full PPE, use dedicated extraction equipment, and follow decontamination procedures that a standard water damage company would skip.
Our Flood Cleanup Process
Flood Extraction
We deploy submersible pumps and truck-mounted extraction to get standing water out of your property fast. High-volume equipment moves 500+ gallons per hour.
Contaminated Material Removal
Flood-contaminated porous materials can't be saved. Our crew removes them safely in sealed containers. Structural framing is cleaned and treated with antimicrobials.
Decontamination
Antimicrobial fogging and surface treatment eliminate bacteria, mold spores, and odors from floodwater contamination. Applied to all affected structural materials before drying.
Structural Drying & Rebuild
Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers run until moisture readings confirm the structure is dry. Then we rebuild — drywall, flooring, paint, trim. One company start to finish.

About Our Akron Flood Cleanup Services
After we pump the water out, the real work starts. We strip everything floodwater touched below the line — drywall, insulation, carpet pad, trim. Framing and concrete get antimicrobial treatment. LGR dehumidifiers and air movers go in, calculated for square footage. HEPA scrubbers run throughout. Daily moisture readings track progress.
Flood claims are complicated — standard policies often exclude flooding and NFIP has its own process. 24/7 Water Damage has handled hundreds of claims across Akron. We know the documentation needed and how to work with adjusters. Call (866) 993-3605.
