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 Iowa City crews wear full PPE, use dedicated extraction equipment, and follow decontamination procedures that a standard water damage company would skip.
Our Flood Cleanup Process
Rapid Water Removal
Commercial pumps arrive on our trucks ready to go. We start extraction immediately and don't stop until every inch of standing water is removed from your Iowa City property.
Strip & Remove
Floodwater-soaked drywall, carpet, insulation, and other porous materials get cut out and disposed of per EPA guidelines. We bag, seal, and haul contaminated materials properly.
Antimicrobial Treatment
Antimicrobial fogging and surface treatment eliminate bacteria, mold spores, and odors from floodwater contamination. Applied to all affected structural materials before drying.
Drying & Rebuild
LGR dehumidifiers and air movers dry the structure to IICRC standards. Daily monitoring tracks progress. Once dry, our crew handles the complete rebuild.
