Signs to look for

When to call us for garage flood cleanup

As the home starts over, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

Water came in under the garage door and stopped a few feet in

As the home starts over, that entry pattern points at the door, the threshold or the driveway apron.

The bottom seal on the door is torn, flattened or missing

On the way back to normal, a door seal is a wear item and it fails quietly.

The driveway apron slopes back toward the door

On the way back to normal, stand outside during rain and watch where the water goes.

Storage boxes have collapsed at the corners

For a clean slate, cardboard sitting on a wet slab fails from the bottom up.

There is a white chalky line where water dried on the slab

As the home starts over, minerals left behind mark the high water line. On the way back to normal, it also tells us the water sat instead of running straight back out.

The drywall on the shared wall is soft along the bottom

On the way back to normal, that wall separates the garage from your living space.

What happens

How we work through garage flood cleanup

Our fresh-start team adjusts the work to what ended up wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

Hazard screening before any cleanup starts

To put this behind you, 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

As the home starts over, 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

To put this behind you, wet paint cans, solvents, fertilizer, pesticides and used oil containers get separated, contained and labeled instead of rinsed off the slab.

Stored contents sorted with you in the driveway

As the home starts over, everything on the floor and the bottom shelf comes out into daylight.

Tools, equipment and batteries assessed and documented

As the home starts over, hand tools and cast iron surfaces get dried and treated for surface rust without delay.

The shared wall with the house checked and dried

To put this behind you, the wall between garage and living space gets read at the base with a moisture meter.

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

As the home starts over, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. As the home starts over, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
Single or double garage, water off a bare slab, water onlyFor a clean slate, national estimate. For a clean slate, clean water, minimal contents, extraction and squeegee work with a short dry out.$300 to $900
Attached garage, contents handled and shared wall dried in placeFor a clean slate, national estimate. To put this behind you, adds contents triage, wall metering, cleaning and three to five days of equipment.$1,200 to $3,500
Garage flood needing removal of failed shared wall drywall and insulationFor a clean slate, national estimate including removal, disposal and drying of the wall assembly.$1,500 to $4,500
Stored contents triage, cleaning and disposal in a full garageAs the home starts over, national estimate for sorting, cleaning what stays, and documenting and hauling what does not.$1,000 to $3,500
Water contaminated with automotive fluids or garage chemicalsFor a clean slate, national estimate. For a clean slate, adds sealed work area, degreasing, disinfection and controlled disposal.$1,200 to $4,000
Garage slab and wall work priced by affected areaTo put this behind you, national estimate for extraction, cleaning and drying of the affected footprint, contents excluded.$2 to $5 per square foot
Household hazardous waste handling and disposal coordinationOn the way back to normal, national estimate for containing and labeling ruined paint, solvents and pesticides, then transporting them to an accepting facility or routing them to your municipal drop off.$100 to $500
After hours or overnight dispatch chargeTo put this behind you, added once on the first garage visit when it starts at night, on a weekend or on a holiday, never on the follow up drying checks.$100 to $400 nationally

  • Depth of water and floor area affected
    As the home starts over, an inch across a single bay is quick work.

  • Contents volume on the floor
    As the home starts over, this is the biggest variable in a garage.

  • Hazardous and automotive products involved
    For a clean slate, wet paint, solvents, pesticides, oil and antifreeze require separation, sealed work area and proper disposal.

  • Attached or detached
    As the home starts over, a detached garage is a standalone job.

  • Floor finish
    As the home starts over, bare concrete cleans and dries readily.

  • Shelving, cabinetry and workbench materials
    As the home starts over, metal and plywood usually survive. As the home starts over, particleboard shelving and cabinet bases swell, which turns storage into disposal volume.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

To put this behind you, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Chemicals in the water change what the cleanup is

To put this behind you, once solvents, fertilizer, pesticide or antifreeze are in the water, this is no longer clean water.

Cardboard storage is the first total loss

On the way back to normal, boxes on a slab wick fast, collapse, and dump their contents into the water.

The shared wall carries the water into the house

For a clean slate, gypsum wicks upward and the framing behind it holds moisture.

Tools and machined surfaces rust in a day

As the home starts over, hand tools, blades and cast iron tabletops develop surface rust without delay in a humid bay. To put this behind you, fast drying and light treatment usually save them completely.

Helpful service information

What to know about garage flood cleanup

For a clean slate, start with the short explanation. To put this behind you, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

On the way back to normal, the concrete slab usually sits slightly below the driveway apron.

Read the explanation

To put this behind you, garages flood for boring, fixable reasons. On the way back to normal, the concrete slab usually sits slightly below the driveway apron.

How the step back toward normal is decided

The floor carries motor oil, tire residue and dust, and the shelf at ankle height usually holds paint, solvents, fertilizer, pesticides and antifreeze.

Read the explanation

What makes garage water different is what it picks up. The floor carries motor oil, tire residue and dust, and the shelf at ankle height usually holds paint, solvents, fertilizer, pesticides and antifreeze.

What may change the work

As the home starts over, concrete holds a lot of water and gives it back slowly, and a sealed or epoxy coated slab can trap moisture underneath.

Read the explanation

To put this behind you, drying a garage looks easy and gets done badly all the time. As the home starts over, concrete holds a lot of water and gives it back slowly, and a sealed or epoxy coated slab can trap moisture underneath.

Common questions

Questions about garage flood cleanup

Why does my garage flood every time it rains hard?

On the way back to normal, almost always the door, the threshold or the driveway. For a clean slate, 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?

For a clean slate, for an inch of clean water on bare concrete with nothing stored on the floor, often no.

Is the water in my garage contaminated?

As the home starts over, assume it is until it has been screened. As the home starts over, 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?

For a clean slate, they get separated, contained and labeled, never washed off the slab. To put this behind you, 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?

As the home starts over, usually not all of it. To put this behind you, we meter the base, dry sound gypsum in place, and remove only material that has delaminated or was contaminated.

To put this behind you, my car was sitting in the water. Who covers that?

As the home starts over, 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?

To put this behind you, nationally, water off a bare slab runs about $300 to $900. For a clean slate, an attached garage with contents and a dried shared wall runs about $1,200 to $3,500.
