Non-porous items (glass, metal, ceramic tile, concrete) can be cleaned and disinfected. Solid hardwood flooring may be salvageable if Category 3 contact was brief (under a few hours) and drying begins immediately — this is assessed case-by-case. Porous materials including drywall, insulation, carpet, and soft furnishings that have had significant Category 3 water contact must be discarded.

External floodwater — from storm surge, rivers, overland runoff, or sewage backup — is classified Category 3 by IICRC S500 regardless of appearance. Clear-looking floodwater still carries biological and chemical contamination. Only water from a sanitary municipal supply line qualifies as Category 1.

The initial cleanup phase (extraction, material removal, antimicrobial treatment) typically takes 1–3 days depending on the scale of flooding. Structural drying then takes an additional 3–7 days to reach IICRC goals. Total timeline before reconstruction can begin is typically 5–10 days from start.

Standard homeowner policies exclude external flooding. NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) policies or private flood insurance policies are required to cover storm-surge, river, and overland flooding. We can document the loss for both claim types and work with your adjuster.

Re-entry requires confirmation that electricity is safely off or that electrical systems are confirmed dry and safe, that structural stability has been assessed, and that Category 3 conditions are under containment by the restoration crew. For large-scale flooding, a local building official may need to clear the structure before occupancy.
