Flood cleanup in the Portland metro
Water on the floor is the part you can see. In Portland's older housing, the part that matters is where it went: into the crawlspace of an Irvington four-square, up the drywall of a Sellwood basement, under the slab edge of a Beaverton ranch. Eight months of wet season means materials here rarely get a fully dry starting point, and standing water turns into a mold problem fast.
What the work looks like
- Extraction of standing water from carpet, pad, hardwood, and subfloor
- Structural drying with commercial dehumidifiers and air movers, run until moisture readings say it's done
- Moisture mapping behind baseboards, under cabinets, inside wall cavities
- Antimicrobial treatment on the affected structure
- Contents pack-out and cleaning when belongings took water
When it stops being a dry-out
A wet room is extraction. A finished basement, a flooded crawlspace, or water that's been sitting for days is a bigger job: removal of swollen drywall and insulation, sometimes a rebuild. The crew scopes it, photographs it for the claim, and lays out the full plan before demolition starts.
The cost conversation
Price moves with square footage, how long the water sat, and what got wet: hardwood and plaster cost more to save than carpet and drywall. The crew gives the real number after they see it, and documents it for insurance when coverage applies. Most homeowner policies cover sudden and accidental water damage; the crew works with your adjuster directly.
