On Saturday, April 25, 2026, heavy rain in a short period overflowed a drainage channel along Western Hills Boulevard, and a car was left stranded on a curb. Fast flooding like that is why rainwater cleanup is its own discipline.
Why floodwater is handled differently
Water crossing the ground gathers soil, oil and bacteria, so it is treated as contaminated even when it looks clear. Carpet, pad and lower drywall that touched it are usually removed rather than dried, because drying contaminated materials does not make them clean.
- Silt and debris shoveled and vacuumed out
- Porous materials bagged and removed
- Hard surfaces washed and sanitized
What the April flood showed
Police rescued a mother and her three children from that flood using jumper cables as a lifeline, and the police chief later ordered water rescue throw bags for every patrol vehicle. For homeowners the lesson is quieter: low areas and drives near drainage channels can fill quickly, and water can reach doors.

(888) 527-9134 Start flood removalIs floodwater safe to clean up myself?
Usually not. It carries bacteria and chemicals, and wet electrical systems add danger. A trained crew wears protective gear and follows a set process.
Why can't flooded carpet just be dried?
Contaminated carpet and pad hold soil and bacteria that drying does not remove, so they are discarded and replaced after the area is cleaned.
Do homeowners policies cover flood water?
Often not, since flood coverage is typically a separate policy. Your adjuster can confirm what applies, and the crew provides photos and readings either way.
How can the water be kept out next time?
Grading, gutters and clear drainage paths help. Report blocked storm drains or channel problems to the City of White Settlement Public Works.
Does cleanup include sanitizing?
Yes. Hard surfaces and framing are washed and treated with antimicrobial products before drying equipment is set.
Clear the flood water from the house
Call any hour after the rain. Describe what the water reached and a crew will plan pumping, removal and drying.
