Flood damage in Old Lyme isn't just standing water — it's contaminated sediment, waterlogged materials, debris, and moisture that has penetrated every porous surface in its path. COS Water Damage Restoration's Old Lyme flood cleanup team is trained and equipped for the full scope of flood recovery: from the initial water pumping through debris removal, structural drying, antimicrobial treatment, and complete rebuild.
Here's what COS Water Damage Restoration brings to every Flood Damage Cleanup job in Old Lyme that separates genuine flood recovery from a surface cleanup.
Flood water in Old Lyme is classified as Category 2 or Category 3 — containing contaminants from storm drains, agricultural runoff, or sewage intrusion. Our crew uses the correct containment, PPE, extraction equipment, and disposal procedures for contaminated water events — not standard water damage methods.
Our Old Lyme-based Flood Damage Cleanup crew targets 60-minute arrival after your call. After a flood event, every hour of additional exposure increases contamination spread and structural saturation — speed of response directly limits the total recovery scope and cost.
You can't dry a space that still has saturated debris in it. Full cleanup is the prerequisite for effective structural drying.
Even in a flood emergency in Old Lyme, no work starts without a written estimate you've reviewed and approved. Xactimate-based pricing formatted to your insurance carrier's standards means faster claim processing and no discrepancy between our bill and your adjuster's scope.
Here's the full scope of what our Old Lyme Flood Damage Cleanup crew handles.
The first priority in any Old Lyme flood event is getting the water volume down as fast as possible — limiting additional saturation of structural materials and preventing the contaminated water from spreading further into the property. We deploy submersible pumps for deep standing water, then transition to truck-mounted extraction for residual volume, working until the visible water is completely removed before debris removal begins.
After the water is out, the debris starts. Flood events in Old Lyme leave behind sediment, organic material, waterlogged furniture and belongings, and materials that absorbed contaminated water and cannot be safely dried in place — drywall, carpet, pad, and insulation being the most common. Our Old Lyme crew performs full debris removal and regulated disposal, leaving a clean structural shell ready for proper drying and treatment.
Treatment is applied to framing, subfloor sheathing, concrete, and masonry before drying begins — not after.
Post-flood structural drying in Old Lyme is more complex than standard water damage drying because contaminated events often require partial material removal (wet drywall, insulation, flooring) to access structural assemblies for drying. Our Old Lyme drying crew deploys calibrated LGR dehumidifiers and air movers after material removal and antimicrobial treatment, taking daily moisture readings at fixed sensor points until all assemblies reach documented equilibrium moisture content targets.
Flood insurance claims — whether through NFIP or private carriers — have specific documentation requirements that differ from standard homeowner water damage claims. Our Old Lyme claim coordinators are familiar with flood-specific documentation standards, know which carriers cover flood damage in CT and what their adjusters require, and build your claim file to those standards from the first day on site.
After drying is confirmed complete, our licensed Old Lyme reconstruction team rebuilds what the flood took: new drywall, flooring, insulation, paint, trim, and any structural framing that required replacement. All reconstruction work is documented to the same standard as the cleanup phase — supporting your insurance settlement and providing you with a verifiable record of the complete recovery.


Flooding doesn't wait, and neither do we. Live dispatch, immediate crew deployment.
Our Old Lyme crew arrives with pumping equipment, contamination PPE, extraction gear, and assessment tools configured for flood response — not standard water damage equipment. Target arrival in 60 minutes or less.
Before any work begins, our Old Lyme team conducts a complete flood damage assessment: water category determination, contamination extent mapping, debris volume evaluation, and structural material viability review. A written, Xactimate-based estimate is prepared and reviewed with you before any pumping or removal starts.
Pumping, extraction, debris removal, antimicrobial treatment, structural drying, and reconstruction proceed under your approved scope. Daily progress updates keep you informed, and final sign-off happens with you at a completed walkthrough.



"After storm flooding took out our Old Lyme basement, I expected weeks of chaos. COS Water Damage Restoration arrived within an hour, had the water pumped out by the following morning, did complete debris removal including the damaged drywall and flooring, treated every surface before the drying equipment went in, and documented the entire process for our flood insurance claim. Settlement came back in under three weeks. The reconstruction was clean and on time. This is how a recovery company should operate."
"I went through Flood Damage Cleanup with another company two years ago after a different storm. That company dried without properly removing saturated materials, and we had mold problems within a month. This time I chose COS Water Damage Restoration. They took out everything that couldn't be safely dried, treated the framing, and ran a proper drying program with daily readings. No mold. No repeat issues. I should have called them the first time."
"The estimate conversation before any work started was exactly what I needed. After a flood you feel powerless — the written pricing discussion gave me back a sense of control. I knew what was happening, why, and what it would cost before anything began. COS Water Damage Restoration's Old Lyme team was professional from the first phone call to the final walkthrough."
