Flood and hurricane cleanup
Flood and hurricane cleanup dumpsters in Baton Rouge.
After high water, everything below the water line has to come out — carpet, drywall, insulation, cabinets and furniture. A dumpster gets it out of the house and off the curb.
First
Photograph everything before it goes in.
Your insurance adjuster or FEMA may want to see damaged items and a sample of the flooring and drywall. Take pictures and measurements of the water line before you start loading.
Sizing
A flooded house fills a big box.
Wet drywall, carpet and pad are heavy, and a muck-out on a whole house usually takes a 30 or 40 yard, sometimes more than one. Tell us the square footage and how high the water got.
Curb or dumpster
When the curb pickup is weeks away.
After a big flood, parish debris pickup can take a long time to reach every street. A dumpster lets you start drying the house out now, not when the trucks get to you.
Common questions
Questions about this.
Can appliances go in?
Refrigerators and freezers need to have their refrigerant handled separately, so they usually cannot go in. Ask about washers, dryers and water heaters when you call.
