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.

I had a great experience working with Victor Mendoza Sr. from SERVPRO. He was efficient, professional, and kept the work area clean and organized throughout the process. Victor was also friendly, approachable, and easy to communicate with. He took the time to explain the details clearly and made sure everything was understood before moving forward. I really appreciated his attention to detail and the quality of his work. I would definitely recommend Victor to anyone who needs professional restoration services.

SERVPRO SAN Gabriel did an excellent job handling the unexpected water leak in my home. Their team was highly professional, knowledgeable, and efficient throughout the insurance claim and restoration process. They communicated clearly, made a stressful situation much easier to manage, and completed the work at a very reasonable price. I truly appreciate their outstanding service and would highly recommend them.

We want to thank and give kudos to Kevin Gomez and his crew in Quality Control at Servpro. They came out quickly and did an excellent job with the issues we were having in our kitchen. They did an excellent job & they did everything quickly and very professionally, and we couldn’t be happier with their services!

After the Eaton Fires, we got estimates from a few companies for our attic and full interior/exterior cleaning. Servpro came in with a competitive bid and were by far the most responsive of the bunch. They were also genuinely friendly throughout the whole process, which made a stressful situation a lot easier to deal with. They did an amazing job and finished in the shortest timeline of all the estimates we got — and they actually stuck to the timeline they originally quoted, which almost never happens. I had a dedicated on-site coordinator who kept me in the loop the entire time, so I was never wondering what was going on or what came next. Highly recommend if you're dealing with fire damage and need a team that shows up, communicates well, and gets the job done.

My experience with SERVPRO was nothing short of exceptional. They completed a full bathroom and closet restoration in my home, and the results speak with quiet excellence. What was once a place in need has now been restored with care, precision, and a standard that reflects true pride in workmanship. Omar, who led the project, carried himself with professionalism and mastery from beginning to end. His attention to detail, consistency, and commitment to doing things the right way did not go unnoticed. He went beyond expectation, never cutting corners, always ensuring that every element was completed with purpose and integrity. Alongside him, Victor Sr. brought the same level of dedication and diligence. Together, they formed a team that not only restored our home, but brought reassurance to my family during the process. Their presence was steady, their work thorough, and their respect for our home deeply appreciated. I would also like to thank Derrek for connecting us with such outstanding individuals. It is rare to come across a team so aligned in both skill and character. Because of Omar and Victor Sr., I would confidently recommend SERVPRO to anyone in need of restoration services, and I would advise them to request these two gentlemen by name. We are truly grateful. The work exceeded our expectations, and the experience has left a lasting impression.

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.
