Flood Damage Restoration, Seattle
Seattle's flooding usually comes with the atmospheric rivers that roll in between November and February. Days of heavy rain overwhelm yard drains and storm sewers, push water into basements and crawl spaces and raise the rivers in the valleys south of the city.
We treat outside water as Category 3 under IICRC S500 from the start and work in OSHA-compliant protective gear. Our crew pumps out the water, removes mud and wet materials, makes flood cuts, disinfects and dries the framing, crawl space and slab, then rebuilds what came out.
Floodwater can carry sewage and chemicals. Stay out of it, and let our crew check the power and gas before anyone goes in.

Greater Seattle flooding
Our office sits in the Duwamish and Green River valley, so we see river, tide and rain flooding up close.
Low areas along the Duwamish, like South Park and parts of Tukwila, flooded when a king tide met a storm in December 2022. The Green River valley through Kent and Auburn also sits in the floodplain.
Several days of heavy rain saturate the ground. Water then finds the lowest point in the house, usually the basement, the crawl space or a daylight room.
Many homes sit over dirt crawl spaces. Floodwater and groundwater pool under the house and push moisture up into the floor, as one of our Seattle customers found in their living room.

Local. Fast. Trusted.
Floodwater brings soil, bacteria and debris in with it. This is the order we work in, from the first walkthrough to dry framing.
We confirm the power is off, check for gas smells and look for sagging ceilings or undermined floors.
Pumps and truck-mounted extractors remove standing water. Mud and silt get shoveled out and hauled away.
Wet drywall and insulation are cut out, usually 12 to 24 inches above the highest water mark.
Studs, slab and subfloor are scrubbed, rinsed and treated with EPA-registered disinfectant.
Air movers, dehumidifiers and HEPA scrubbers run until framing and slab read dry. Then the rebuild starts.

Our process & equipment
A flood job needs more than fans. Pumps and truck-mounted extractors move the water, HEPA scrubbers handle what the water stirred up, and dehumidifiers pull moisture out of framing and slab until the readings say dry.
Submersible pumps and truck-mounted extractors clear standing water and mud fast, so drying can start the same day.
HEPA air scrubbers and EPA-registered disinfectants deal with the bacteria and odor floodwater leaves behind.
Moisture meters and thermal cameras track the slab, framing and subfloor every day until they reach their dry standard.
Local risks
These are the flood calls we get most during the wet season.

Groundwater and runoff pooling under the house and soaking insulation and subfloor.

Water seeping through foundation walls and floor drains during long storms.

Water coming off hillsides and driveways into the back of the house.

Flooding in low areas along the Duwamish and the Green River valley.

Flood damage FAQs
We run crews 24/7 and are typically on site within 45 minutes in South Seattle, Tukwila, Renton and Burien. During big storms we prioritize water near electrical panels and water still coming in.
Yes. Standing water under the house keeps the subfloor and framing wet and feeds mold. We pump it out, remove wet insulation and vapor barrier, dry the space and replace what came out.
Water from outside, like rising groundwater or river flooding, is usually excluded unless you have flood coverage. Water from a burst pipe or a sudden roof leak is treated differently. We document the source so you and your adjuster can sort it out.
Water damage usually starts inside, from a pipe, appliance or roof leak, and the water is often clean. Flood damage comes from outside, from rain, runoff or rising water, and it carries soil, sewage and chemicals. That means more tear-out and disinfecting.
Standard homeowners policies usually exclude flooding from outside water. That coverage normally comes from a separate flood policy. Water that gets in through a storm-damaged roof can be handled differently, so we document everything and work with whichever carrier applies.
It can be. Floodwater is treated as Category 3 water because it often carries sewage, bacteria and chemicals. Keep kids and pets out, stay away from wet outlets and panels, and wait for a crew with protective gear.
Fast response. Local experts. 24/7 support.
