Flood Cleanup in Portland, Oregon
Water, mud and contamination removed after storm or creek flooding.
Floodwater in Portland arrives with silt and street contaminants, so cleanup is a sanitation job as much as a drying job. Homes near Johnson Creek and the Columbia Slough see it most.
We pump water out, remove mud, unsalvageable pad and soaked porous materials, disinfect surfaces, then dry the structure under containment and verify with moisture readings.

Flood Cleanup: common questions
Is flood water from outside safe to clean up yourself?
Outside floodwater is treated as contaminated (Category 3) because it can carry sewage, chemicals and soil bacteria. Porous materials it touched, like carpet and pad, usually have to be removed instead of dried.
Does homeowners insurance cover flood cleanup in Portland?
Standard homeowners policies generally exclude flooding from rising surface water. That requires separate flood insurance. Water from inside the home, such as a broken pipe, is a different claim type.
