Immediate Steps to Take After a Flood

After a flood, your priority should always be safety. Floodwater can contain hazardous materials and pose electrical risks. Once you have confirmed it is safe to do so, there are a few initial steps you can take to help mitigate the damage before professional help arrives. Acting quickly can make a significant difference in the restoration process.

Before our technicians arrive, consider the following actions if conditions are safe:

• Stop the Water Source: If the flooding is from an internal source like a burst pipe, shut off the main water valve to your property.
• Turn Off Electricity: If you can safely reach your breaker box, turn off the electricity to the affected areas to prevent electrical hazards. Do not enter standing water to do this.
• Contact Your Insurance Company: Call your insurance agent to report the damage and begin the claims process as soon as possible.
• Move Valuables: If possible, move important documents, photos, and small, valuable items to a dry, secure location.
• Elevate Furniture: Place wood blocks or aluminum foil under the legs of furniture that is in contact with wet carpet to prevent staining and further damage.

Remember, never use household vacuum cleaners to remove water, and avoid using electrical appliances while standing on wet floors.

Why Professional Flood Cleanup is Essential

Floodwater is often heavily contaminated with bacteria, sewage, and chemicals, posing significant health risks. Professional restoration teams are equipped with personal protective equipment and specialized sanitizing agents to safely handle and remove this hazardous water, protecting you and your family.

One of the greatest threats after a flood is mold growth, which can begin in as little as 24 hours. Professionals use industrial-strength drying equipment to eliminate moisture from deep within structures like wood framing and subfloors, which is crucial for preventing a widespread mold infestation.

Finally, a professional assessment ensures all damage is identified, both visible and hidden. Incomplete drying can lead to long-term structural rot and decay. Certified technicians have the tools to detect trapped moisture, ensuring your property is restored completely and safely.
