Floodwater is not the same as water from a broken pipe. Water that flows across yards, streets and fields brings bacteria, silt and contaminants with it. Anything it soaks into has to be treated as unsanitary.
The goal of cleanup is a clean, safe shell that is ready to dry. Drywall is usually cut above the waterline, wet insulation comes out, and carpet, pad and upholstered items that sat in floodwater are normally discarded. Hard surfaces are then cleaned and disinfected before drying begins.
Calling (425) 552-7974 connects you with a local flood cleanup crew working in Snoqualmie and nearby towns. From the first questions through the final cleanup, the provider deals with you directly.
Many flood damage cleanup jobs in Snoqualmie also call for flood restoration or flooded basement cleanup.

The flood cleanup process
Most flood cleanups move through these steps.
Check for hazards
No one works inside until power, gas and the structure have been checked. Protective gear is used throughout because of contamination.
Water removal
Standing water is pumped out and the floors are extracted after the outside water level drops.
Muck out mud and debris
Sediment is cleared from floors, crawl spaces and wall bottoms so the real damage is visible.
Tear-out
Drywall is cut above the waterline, and wet insulation, carpet, pad and porous items are removed.
Wash and disinfect
Everything that stays is cleaned and disinfected to deal with bacteria and limit mold.
Dry the structure
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the framing and subfloor while readings are tracked until it is ready for repairs.
What is included
What flood damage cleanup can include

Structural drying
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the building down to normal moisture levels.
Mud and silt removal
Sediment is cleared out so the structure can be cleaned.
Tear-out and debris haul-away
Contaminated drywall, insulation, flooring and furnishings are removed and hauled away.
Written records
Job notes and readings are recorded from start to finish, which can support your claim.

Rain, crawl spaces and water damage in Washington
Long, wet seasons and atmospheric river storms saturate the ground and push water into basements and crawl spaces, while cold snaps can still split pipes in exterior walls, garages and crawl spaces. Many older homes here sit over crawl spaces, where slow leaks and high humidity go unnoticed until floors soften or odors appear.

Know what happens next
Talk to the provider about the damage, the plan and your insurance before work starts.
Is flood damage covered by insurance?
Most regular homeowner policies do not cover outside flooding. Coverage generally depends on having a dedicated flood policy. Look over your coverage and ask the provider what records they keep.
Who will do the flood cleanup after I call?
No crews work for Snoqualmie Water Damage Restoration, which is a referral service. A call to (425) 552-7974 reaches a provider that works independently in the Snoqualmie area, and the details of the job are arranged directly with them.
Is it safe to go inside after a flood?
Only go in once the water has receded and the area is cleared. If you smell gas, leave and call the gas company, and look for structural damage before going further. When in doubt, wait for a professional to look first.
Do I have to throw everything out?
Items with hard surfaces, such as dishes, metal furniture and solid wood, can usually be cleaned. Porous things that soaked up floodwater, like mattresses and upholstery, generally have to go. Note what you remove so you can report it to your insurer.
Is floodwater a health hazard?
Floodwater can carry sewage, chemicals and bacteria. If you have to go in, wear gloves and waterproof boots and wash up afterward. Never walk through water near outlets or appliances that may still have power.
