Here are the steps you can take following a flood:

If you have time before the flood hits, lift furniture and valuables off the ground to protect them from water damage.

If possible, turn off electricity and gas to prevent gas leaks and electrical hazards.

How It Works

BELFOR’s Flood Damage Restoration Process

Once the flood waters start to recede, our cleanup team can begin restoring your home.

Our team will follow several steps to ensure everything is fully repaired. We will:

Pump out any water and assess the damage left by the flood.
Safely remove and dispose of any furnishings and contents that are damaged beyond repair.
Clean and decontaminate the building to remove any potential environmental, chemical, and/or biological contaminants left by the flood water.
Check the building for any structural damage that could cause potential hazards either now or in the future.
Dry and dehumidify the property to make sure that no residual water remains. If left untreated, this could lead to further damage, including mold buildup.

To be prepared, discuss with your insurance provider what exactly counts as flood damage under your policy.
