Signs to look for
When to call us for garage flood cleanup
From damage control through drying, 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 an accountable recovery, a door seal is a wear item and it fails quietly.
The driveway apron slopes back toward the door
For an accountable recovery, stand outside during rain and watch where the water goes. As each work stage is verified, if the apron sheds toward the house, the garage is the drain.
Storage boxes have collapsed at the corners
With clear job steps, cardboard sitting on a wet slab fails from the bottom up.
There is a white chalky line where water dried on the slab
From damage control through drying, minerals left behind mark the high water line. For an accountable recovery, 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 an accountable recovery, that wall separates the garage from your living space. From damage control through drying, soft gypsum at the base means water is wicking upward and heading inside.
What happens
How we handle garage flood cleanup

Water off the slab, by the method the water calls for

Chemical and automotive product triage
As each work stage is verified, 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
From damage control through drying, everything on the floor and the bottom shelf comes out into daylight.
Tools, equipment and batteries assessed and documented
With clear job steps, hand tools and cast iron surfaces get dried and treated for surface rust quickly.
The shared wall with the house checked and dried
As each work stage is verified, the wall between garage and living space gets read at the base with a moisture meter.

Common questions
Questions about garage flood cleanup
Why does my garage flood every time it rains hard?
