Flood: What You Can Do Right Now

With flooding, knowing what you can do before help arrives can help reduce the damage to your home and cut the restoration costs. Standing water in your home will cause more damage with every passing hour.

  • Get everyone in your household (including pets) away from rising water and to a safe, dry area of the home.
  • Shut off your water source if you know the shutoff valve location and can reach it safely.
  • Turn off your electricity at the main panel, if you can do it without stepping in water.
  • Don’t use electrical appliances or outlets that might‘ve come in contact with water.
  • Move your most valuable items, furniture, and electronics to higher ground if it’s safe.
  • Once the flooding has stopped, take photos of the damage for your insurance claim.

Fernand has been involved with my restoration project from the very beginning, and his leadership and communication have been exceptional. He checks in regularly, keeps me updated on progress, and always makes sure I understand what’s happening and what comes next. He follows through on every detail, stays in consistent contact through calls and texts, and shows a level of professionalism that made a long, stressful project much easier to manage. I truly appreciate the dedication he has shown throughout this entire process and would absolutely recommend him.

We had flooding from the storms this week and after being essentially blown off by other water removal companies, including being told to "google how to remove ground level water infiltration", and that there were no resources available unless it was a burst pipe ( I suspect because that covered by homeowners insurance and flooding is not). Anyway, I called Servpro and Jeff actually answered, and then gave me detailed advice on what steps to take and how to mitigate damage. He told me to call back any time during the weekend, it was Saturday, with questions . He showed up the next day to look at what we had done and give more advice . Working with Jeff feels like working with a member of your own family who is extremely knowledgeable and generous! I am so grateful! He will always be my first call in a disaster!

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER CARE! I normally don’t post reviews however Production Crew Chief, Michael Gaffney and his crew with Serve Pro deserve the praise. Not only were they quick to respond , they were also beyond professional,. Michael walked us through the process and explained in detail what the procedures would be to clean up massive water damage. Within 3 days, process was completed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

A pipe burst inside my kitchen wall ,flooded my cabinetry, giant first time home owners nightmare! It was seriously catastrophic, black mold and all . I instantly called my home owners insurance that was less than helpful, they sent a plumber out the following buisness day and he told me that he wasent doing any repairs until I had a restoration company come out and repair the secondary damage, he reccomended a buisness call “quick dry”, I called quick dry - they said they would come to my house between 11-3pm , they showed up at 9pm at night and asked I pay up front for repairs , told me it would be thousands of dollars with out even really looking at what was damaged ( it was dark outside, and the outside of my house was also leaking water). I then Did some research online and found Dart restoration ,Servpro , I figured I’d leave a voice mail and they would follow up with me because it was 10:30pm , nope ! the owner, Dart, answered and put my mind at ease that everything was going to be okay , he drove out to my residence in menifee from big bear that night and got to work getting everything repaired and ensured I had a safe living environment for my family. Dart made me feel like family , He made it his priority to get everything encapsulated/ contained immediately so my children had clean air ,I know this is something you never want to happen to your home , that being said Servpro was a huge blessing. It seemed like every company was trying to take advantage of me and with Servpro that was never the case. My home warranty company “old republic” was supposed to come back to my residence to fix the pipe , they were being rude to me and trying to get out of approving coverage, like I stated before , I have children and was left with no other choice than to make bottles with bath water and do dishes in my bathtub, When Dart followed up with me about the plumbing issue , he immediately offered to send a tech out to fix my pipe and put in a temporary sink for me while we wait to get the new cabinets and countertops . If I could give this buisness 20 stars I would , I highly recommend Servpro, forever grateful for their quick and professional service

How to clean up flood damage in a home?

When a flood emergency occurs in your home, it’s only natural to want to take action immediately. Below are some preliminary steps you can take before we arrive, but only attempt what you can do safely. 

  • Shut off the water source, if possible. If you’re not sure where the water is coming from, we’ll inspect and handle the situation as soon as we arrive. If you don’t know how to shut off the water, contact a plumber to help. 
  • Remove excess water by mopping, blotting, or wiping. This could include flooring and hard surface furniture which has standing water on it. Do not use your household vacuum to remove water, since it could cause damage to the vacuum or be unsafe.  
  • Protect carpet, rugs, drapes, and upholstered items from further damage. Place aluminum foil or parchment paper between furniture and wet carpet or rugs. Remove books, magazines, or other colored items from carpets and rugs. Hang draperies up with coated hangers to avoid contact with wet floors. Remove pillows or cushions from wet upholstered items. 
  • Avoid using electric or electronic items that have come into contact with water. This may include items such as light fixtures, ceiling fans, televisions, or appliances. If there is a possibility that someone else on the property may turn on an electric item that has come in contact with water, consider turning off the power to individual circuits within the power distribution panel of the property. 
What is a flood?

A flood is an overflow of water onto property that should otherwise be dry. Water from flooding doesn’t always come from the same place, and where it comes from matters a lot. Some floods bring in fairly clean water you can begin to deal with carefully. Others carry bacteria and contaminants that can harm your health. That’s why it’s important to know what you’re up against before you start your cleanup.

What are the most common causes of home floods?

Most home floods come from severe weather and storms, plumbing or appliance failures, and sewer backups or rising groundwater. Each source carries different risks, so identifying the cause early helps you respond as effectively as possible.

Is flood damage covered by insurance?

Flood damage may be covered by your insurance policy, but you’ll need to reach out to your agent to get specifics about your particular coverage. Most typical homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage.

How long does it take to fix flood damage?

The time it takes to fix flood damage depends on the severity of the flood. We’ll inspect your home or business and discuss with you the severity of damage and our plan to help return your property back to pre-loss condition. We’ll then work to remove the water that shouldn’t be there using pumps and water extracting equipment. Once the excess water is gone, we use dehumidifiers and other specialized drying equipment to help return the area to its normal moisture level. This is a closely monitored process, with our teams continually making adjustments to equipment to help ensure the area is recovering as quickly and as safely possible.

How dangerous is a flood?

Other than the environmental hazards, all natural flood water is classified as category 3 water damage. Category 3 water damage is defined as “Grossly unsanitary water containing pathogenic agents, arising from sewage or other contaminated water sources and having the likelihood of causing discomfort or sickness if consumed or exposed to humans.” Category 3 water damage is considered grossly contaminated. It may also be called “black water.” 

What should you do if your house floods?

The most important thing to do is to move your family to safety. Next, shut off the water source and electricity if you can do so safely and avoid contact with standing water. Then call a professional water damage restoration company right away to begin the water extraction process.

Are sandbags helpful during a flood?

Sandbags are helpful for slowing and redirecting slow-moving water up to two feet deep, but they do not stop water completely. Do not rely on sandbags to counteract flood damage.
