Plan the cleanup by water source.

Storm runoff, a sewer backup, and an indoor leak can leave different cleanup needs. The source guides our assessment.

Dry the materials that can stay.

After cleanup, we set up equipment for the remaining wet materials and monitor the drying progress.

Start with the rooms that got wet.

Serving Cleveland and Northeast Ohio

Storm damage and rain entry: An opening in the roof or exterior may also need temporary protection. Permanent repairs are handled by the appropriate trades.
A flooded basement: We assess standing water and surrounding walls, flooring, and contents. Tell us if the basement has finished rooms.
Water backing up through a drain: A sewer backup needs a contamination-focused cleanup assessment. Tell us what you observed when you call.

Common questions

A few things you may be wondering.

Is flood cleanup only for basements?

No. Flooding can affect living areas, lower levels, and commercial spaces. Cleveland Water and Fire Restoration, Inc. assesses the affected rooms and materials, wherever the water has spread.

How is storm flooding different from a pipe leak?

The source of the water helps determine the cleaning, removal, and drying approach. Tell us whether water entered from outside, backed up through a drain, or came from plumbing.

Does removing the standing water finish the cleanup?

Usually there are additional conditions to assess. Surfaces may need cleaning, some materials may need removal, and moisture can remain in walls or floors after extraction.

Do you fix the source of floodwater entering the building?

We handle water damage cleanup and drying, with emergency board-up or tarping when appropriate. Plumbers, roofers, and other professional trades handle permanent source repairs.
