Flood Restoration After the Disaster

When your property is hit by floodwater, it’s crucial to act quickly to minimize long-term damage. Flood restoration involves removing the water, cleaning the property, and preparing it for safe repairs.

Here are steps you can take following a flood:

  • If you have time before a flood hits, lift furniture and valuables off the ground to protect them from water damage.
  • Because flood water contains many contaminants, it’s important for everyone to leave the property and find a safe place.
  • If possible, turn off electricity and gas to prevent gas leaks and electrical hazards.

About Our Flood Damage Restoration Process

Once the flood waters start to recede, a professional cleanup team (like BELFOR) can begin restoring your property.

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

  • 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.

“Flood damage” as a term is more officially used in the insurance industry, especially when describing what is and isn’t covered on an insurance policy.

In insurance terms, flood damage typically refers to flooding from external sources like rivers or rain, not from internal issues like a burst pipe or broken water heater.

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

When your property suffers from serious flood damage, it’s best to call in the experts.

Flood water can be dangerous, mingling with electricity and carrying waste that’s not always visible but harmful. It requires thorough drying, decontamination, and dehumidification to prevent further damage.

If you live in a flood-prone area, having flood insurance alongside your homeowner’s insurance is key. It can provide significant help in managing and recovering from flood damage.

The cost of water damage repair depends on factors such as the extent, severity, and location of the damage.
