Signs to look for
When to call us for garage flood cleanup
Room by room, 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
For a practical next step, a door seal is a wear item and it fails quietly.
The driveway apron slopes back toward the door
For a practical next step, stand outside during rain and watch where the water goes. After you describe the problem, if the apron sheds toward the house, the garage is the drain.
Storage boxes have collapsed at the corners
To help your home recover, cardboard sitting on a wet slab fails from the bottom up.
There is a white chalky line where water dried on the slab
Room by room, minerals left behind mark the high water line. For a practical next step, it also tells us the water sat rather than running straight back out.
The drywall on the shared wall is soft along the bottom
For a practical next step, that wall separates the garage from your living space. Room by room, soft gypsum at the base means water is wicking upward and heading inside.
What happens
How we handle garage flood cleanup
Our home recovery team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Hazard screening before any cleanup starts
After you describe the problem, 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
Room by room, 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
After you describe the problem, 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
Room by room, everything on the floor and the bottom shelf comes out into daylight. Room by room, you make keep, clean or discard calls with the item in front of you.
Tools, equipment and batteries assessed and documented
To help your home recover, hand tools and cast iron surfaces get dried and treated for surface rust quickly.
The shared wall with the house checked and dried
After you describe the problem, the wall between garage and living space gets read at the base with a moisture meter.

Depth of water and floor area affected
Room by room, an inch across a single bay is quick work. After you describe the problem, several inches across a triple garage adds pumping, cleaning and equipment count.Contents volume on the floor
Room by room, this is the biggest variable in a garage.Hazardous and automotive products involved
To help your home recover, wet paint, solvents, pesticides, oil and antifreeze require separation, sealed work area and proper disposal.Attached or detached
Room by room, a detached garage is a standalone job.Floor finish
Room by room, bare concrete cleans and dries readily. After you describe the problem, an epoxy coating or sealed floor can trap moisture underneath and slow the drying schedule.Shelving, cabinetry and workbench materials
Room by room, metal and plywood usually survive. Room by room, particleboard shelving and cabinet bases swell, which turns storage into disposal volume.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
After you describe the problem, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
Chemicals in the water change what the cleanup is
After you describe the problem, once solvents, fertilizer, pesticide or antifreeze are in the water, this is no longer clean water.
Cardboard storage is the first total loss
For a practical next step, boxes on a slab wick fast, collapse, and dump their contents into the water.
The shared wall carries the water into the house
To help your home recover, gypsum wicks upward and the framing behind it holds moisture.
Tools and machined surfaces rust in a day
To help your home recover, hand tools, blades and cast iron tabletops develop surface rust quickly in a humid bay.

Common questions
Questions about garage flood cleanup
Why does my garage flood every time it rains hard?
For a practical next step, almost always the door, the threshold or the driveway. To help your home recover, 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?
To help your home recover, for an inch of clean water on bare concrete with nothing stored on the floor, often no.
Is the water in my garage contaminated?
Room by room, assume it is until it has been screened. Room by room, 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?
To help your home recover, they get separated, contained and labeled, never washed off the slab. After you describe the problem, 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?
Room by room, usually not all of it. After you describe the problem, we meter the base, dry sound gypsum in place, and remove only material that has delaminated or was contaminated.
After you describe the problem, my car was sitting in the water. Who covers that?
Room by room, 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?
After you describe the problem, nationally, water off a bare slab runs about $300 to $900. To help your home recover, an attached garage with contents and a dried shared wall runs about $1,200 to $3,500.
