What To Do After A Flood

rasel • Jun 24, 2019

If you have flood insurance, contact your insurance adjuster immediately. Not all homeowners policies cover damage from flooding, so it is important to know what our policy covers. Additional flood insurance protection can be purchased if it is not already covered in your policy. A flood or water damage insurance claim will need to be filed as soon as possible. Take photos of and make a list of all items that have sustained damage.

3. Belongings

 If you have furniture, rugs, bedding, etc in the area where water damage occurred, move it out. It will be easier to clean and dry out these items when removed from the flooded area, and it will allow room for carpet to be pulled up and dried or replaced if necessary. Any paper good, photographs, or other valuable documents will need to be removed and dried out to salvage as much as possible. Items that have sustained water damage and are still salvageable will need to have thorough cleaning to ensure all moisture, possible mold , and other contaminants have been removed.
