☎ Call (888) 471-9821Report the flood damage
Woodbury Creek runs through the city, and the whole area sits in the Delaware River Basin, which has a regional history of serious flooding. The city sits at an elevation of 52 feet, and a downpour that outpaces the drains can push water in through doorways.
How storm and flood water cleanup is handled, step by step
Pump
Floodwater is removed from the structure.
Clear
Silt and soaked materials are hauled out.
Sanitize
Hard surfaces are treated.
Dry
Equipment dries to standard.
What storm water leaves behind
- Silt and debris on floors, in carpet and under cabinets
- Contaminants from drains, yards and roads
- Soaked drywall, insulation and padding that wick upward
- Moisture trapped in framing and flooring after the water drops
Floodwater is never clean
Water from outdoors counts as contaminated even when it looks clear. The crew removes porous materials that were soaked, sanitizes hard surfaces and then dries the building with air movers and dehumidifiers. Records of depth, items and damage are kept for flood claims and for any adjuster visit that follows.
Regional floods show the pattern
The basin saw record flooding from the remnants of Hurricanes Connie and Diane in August 1955, and again in 2011 from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. Those were regional events, not records for one city, but they show how quickly rivers and creeks can swell after heavy rain.
