Flood Water Is Category 3 — Treat It That Way
Flood water is classified as Category 3 black water. It can carry bacteria, sewage, agricultural runoff, chemicals, and debris. Porous materials that absorb flood water — carpet, pad, drywall, and insulation — generally cannot be saved and must be removed for your health. Our certified crews follow IICRC S500 protocols with PPE and containment to handle contaminated water safely.
What Flood Damage Restoration Includes
• Standing water extraction and debris removal
• Controlled tear-out of ruined materials
• Cavity drying of walls and subfloors
• Antimicrobial application and odor control
• Contents cleaning and pack-out when salvageable
• Reconstruction — drywall, flooring, trim, paint
Flood Insurance Guidance for Fort Myers
Flood damage typically requires a separate flood policy — standard homeowners insurance generally does not cover rising water. We help you document the damage thoroughly, identify the right coverage path, and bill your insurer directly wherever possible. Even without flood coverage, we provide transparent estimates and financing options so cost never delays critical mitigation.
What to Do Right After a Flood
• Do not walk or drive through flood water — it may be electrified or contaminated
• Shut off electricity at the main if you can do so safely
• Avoid contact with flood water — wear protective gear if you must enter
• Take photos and video of the damage for your claim
• Call Affordable Water Restoration at (239) 645-7472 for 24/7 response
