What To Do When Your House Floods – Beginning the Flood Cleanup Process

Although flood damage may seem like a daunting task to handle, it’s important to address the situation quickly and carefully. Once you’ve determined that everyone in your household is safe and unharmed, it’s time to start the flood damage restoration process. Below are the steps you’ll want to take to get started:

  1. Call your insurance company. To begin the flood damage restoration process, first call your insurance company to report the damage and file a claim.
  2. Check the building for structural damage. Before you re-enter your home, check around the perimeter of the building for any structural damage. Look for cracks and dents in the exterior walls and foundation. The power of water can be fierce and you don’t want to be trapped inside a collapsed building.
  3. Take photos. Before you begin any cleanup or bring in the flood damage repair company, take many pictures of the damage done to your building and to your personal property.
  4. Take inventory. It’s important to keep track of all of the damaged items before you or the flood restoration company start to discard damaged items. This list is also required for your insurance claim.
  5. Hire a flood cleanup company. Cleaning up from flood damage is too big a project to handle alone. A reliable flood cleanup company will take your personal preferences and budget into consideration to return your home to its original state. The team at Action Restoration is also trained to find and eliminate potential mold and mildew issues before they spread.
  6. Get approval from an electrician. As you likely know, water and electricity do not mix well together. Before you turn your power back on after the flood or use any electrical devices, be sure to get an “all clear” from your electrician.
  7. Remove wet items immediately. Getting as many wet items out of the house is important to controlling mold and mildew. Mold only needs 24 hours to begin growing in a dark, damp area of your gulf coast home.

By following these 7 steps promptly after a Gulf Coast flood, you can keep your family out of harm’s way while saving on larger restoration expenses. Speak with a flood cleanup specialist today by calling us at 800-760-9081.
