What Flood Cleanup Kent Does

Flood Cleanup Kent is a flood damage restoration and water mitigation contractor working in Kent and the rest of south King County, Washington. Our crews travel to the property, so there is no shop counter and nothing to drop off. We handle the whole sequence after water gets into a building: pumping and extraction, removal of what cannot be saved, cleaning and disinfecting what can, and documented drying. The full scope is on our flood cleanup in Kent, WA page.

Most of our work sits on two pieces of ground: the valley floor, a low strip roughly two miles wide east of the Green River, and the bluff above it, drained by Mill Creek, Springbrook Creek and Garrison Creek. On the flat, a driveway, a garage slab or a crawl space goes under before a living room does.

How We Work on Every Job

Before anything comes out, we photograph the damage and take moisture readings room by room, and that record goes to you. You see the full scope and the cost on paper before we start, and if opening a wall changes the job, we re-quote it in writing and wait for your approval.

We take material out only where the readings show it is wet or contaminated, and where a subfloor or a stud wall will dry in place, we leave it in and dry it. Every day the equipment runs we log the readings, and the log is yours when we pick the machines up, so "it's dry" is a number measured against known-dry material in your own building. When a job does not need a restoration contractor at all, we say that on the phone.

We never pay, rebate or discount any part of an insurance deductible. Washington treats a regular practice of doing that as trafficking in insurance claims under RCW 48.30A.015. What you do get is the documentation an adjuster asks to see, taken before the first cut. Filing the claim, and deciding whether to file at all, stays with you. Your plumber repairs the failed pipe or water heater; we remove the water it released and dry the building.

The Standards and Rules Behind the Work

The ANSI/IICRC S500 Standard for Professional Water Damage Restoration, now in its fifth edition from 2021, sets out the procedures for water damage work in homes and commercial buildings, and it is the standard this work follows. It is what puts river, storm and sewer water in the dirtiest of the three water categories, which decides how much porous material has to go.

The EPA's guidance is to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24 to 48 hours, because in most cases mold will not grow if wet material is dried inside that window. That clock is the reason extraction happens on the first visit.

Washington requires every contractor doing construction, repair or improvement work worth more than $500 to hold an active registration with the Department of Labor & Industries under RCW 18.27. That register is public, and checking whoever you call against it takes a minute.

Our Service Area in Kent, WA

Kent divides into three sections, the Valley, East Hill and West Hill, and we work all three, along with Panther Lake, Lake Meridian, Clark Lake, Scenic Hill and the warehouse corridor between the two Valley Highways. Outside the city we cover Seattle, Tacoma, Auburn, Renton, Federal Way, Burien and Puyallup.

We ask for the address at the start of every call, partly for the route and partly because the utility depends on it. The City of Kent runs water, sewer and storm drainage for much of the city, while Highline Water District, Soos Creek Water & Sewer District and King County Water District No. 111 supply other parts of it. Hours are on how to reach us.
