Signs to look for
When to call us for garage flood cleanup
For a clear turnaround, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
The bottom seal on the door is torn, flattened or missing
Along the recovery roadmap, a door seal is a wear item and it fails quietly.
The driveway apron slopes back toward the door
Along the recovery roadmap, stand outside during rain and watch where the water goes. With each visible step, if the apron sheds toward the house, the garage is the drain.
Storage boxes have collapsed at the corners
As the property moves toward recovery, cardboard sitting on a wet slab fails from the bottom up.
There is a white chalky line where water dried on the slab
For a clear turnaround, minerals left behind mark the high water line. Along the recovery roadmap, it also tells us the water sat rather than running straight back out.
The drywall on the shared wall is soft along the bottom
Along the recovery roadmap, that wall separates the garage from your living space. For a clear turnaround, soft gypsum at the base means water is wicking upward and heading inside.
What happens
How we handle garage flood cleanup
Our recovery crew adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Hazard screening before any cleanup starts
With each visible step, we look for a sheen on the water, tipped or corroded containers, and anything from a drain.
Water off the slab, by the method the water calls for
For a clear turnaround, clean water is the easy case, extracted and squeegeed out through the opening, and depth beyond a few inches becomes pump out work.
Chemical and automotive product triage
With each visible step, wet paint cans, solvents, fertilizer, pesticides and used oil containers get separated, contained and labeled rather than rinsed off the slab.
Stored contents sorted with you in the driveway
For a clear turnaround, everything on the floor and the bottom shelf comes out into daylight.
Tools, equipment and batteries assessed and documented
As the property moves toward recovery, hand tools and cast iron surfaces get dried and treated for surface rust quickly.
The shared wall with the house checked and dried
With each visible step, the wall between garage and living space gets read at the base with a moisture meter.

Cardboard storage is the first total loss

Common questions
Questions about garage flood cleanup
Why does my garage flood every time it rains hard?
Along the recovery roadmap, almost always the door, the threshold or the driveway. As the property moves toward recovery, a worn bottom seal, a slab that sits low against the apron, or a downspout discharging near the door will all do it.
Do I really need a professional for water on a garage slab?
As the property moves toward recovery, for an inch of clean water on bare concrete with nothing stored on the floor, often no.
Is the water in my garage contaminated?
For a clear turnaround, assume it is until it has been screened. For a clear turnaround, garage floors carry oil, dust and tire residue, and the shelf at floor level usually holds solvents, fertilizer or pesticides.
What happens to the paint, solvents and pesticides that got wet?
As the property moves toward recovery, they get separated, contained and labeled, never washed off the slab. With each visible step, corroded, leaking or unlabeled containers then go to a facility that accepts household hazardous waste, either transported by us or dropped at your municipal program, whichever your area allows.
Will the wall between my garage and the house have to come out?
For a clear turnaround, usually not all of it. With each visible step, we meter the base, dry sound gypsum in place, and remove only material that has delaminated or was contaminated.
With each visible step, my car was sitting in the water. Who covers that?
For a clear turnaround, vehicle damage goes through the comprehensive part of your auto policy, not your homeowners policy, if you carry comprehensive.
How much does garage flood cleanup cost?
With each visible step, nationally, water off a bare slab runs about $300 to $900. As the property moves toward recovery, an attached garage with contents and a dried shared wall runs about $1,200 to $3,500.
