Frequently Asked Questions
Is floodwater dangerous to clean up myself?
Floodwater often carries contaminants from sewage, chemicals, or debris and is generally classified as unsafe for DIY cleanup. Professional restoration teams use appropriate protective equipment and disinfection procedures.
Does standard homeowners insurance cover flood damage?
Typically, no — flood damage from rising water usually requires separate flood insurance (such as through the NFIP), while sudden internal water damage like a burst pipe is often covered by standard policies. Confirm your specific coverage with your insurer.
