Add tropical systems moving inland, the low-lying areas around Paynes Prairie and Hogtown Creek, and clay-heavy soils that shed water instead of absorbing it, and flooded living rooms are a fact of life here. When it happens to your home, the response in the first 24 hours determines whether you're facing a cleanup or a rebuild.
Flood water is different from a burst pipe. Water that has crossed lawns, streets, or storm drains is classified as contaminated ("Category 3" in industry terms) — it can carry bacteria, sewage, chemicals, and debris. It isn't enough to dry it; everything it touched must be properly cleaned, sanitized, or removed. That's exactly what our flood cleanup crews are equipped and trained to do.
One thing every Gainesville homeowner should know before the storm: standard homeowners policies generally do not cover rising water — that's what separate flood insurance (NFIP or private) is for. But the lines can blur: wind-driven rain through a damaged roof, or a storm-caused drain backup, may be covered differently than street flooding. We document the source and path of the water carefully, because that documentation often decides how your claim gets paid. Whatever your coverage situation, we'll give you an honest scope and work with your adjuster.
