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.

My experience in dealing with SERVPRO of Torrance was very positive from start to finish. I was displaced, due to the Eaton Fire and my insurance company assigned this franchise to do the remediation. The team assigned to my project did a truly amazing job of cleaning my smoke damaged house. The team leader explained every aspect of the cleaning process to me in detail and answered all of my many questions. The office staff was very professional, well organized, extremely helpful and patient in guiding me through what was a complicated process and a new experience for me. In addition, they treated me with kindness and respect. I highly recommend this franchise!

The team at Servepro Torrance is incredible. From start to finish, the project was well managed, communication was great, and pricing was reasonable. I need to give a special shout-out to Jennilyn, who managed our project in the office, and Luis, who managed the job on site. They were kind, professional, and extremely helpful. I would recommend Servepro Torrance to anyone in need of these services.

ServPro of Torrance is fantastic! We were displaced due to the Eaton Fire and our house had quite a bit of smoke damage. The ServPro team came in and cleaned our house from top to bottom. They spent over a week cleaning every surface of our house and our belongings. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and professional. Ricki, our head service tech, and Sabrina, our coordinator, were great! They explained everything and walked us through all the steps involved in the restoration. They never lost patience with us or our constant questions. They made an extremely stressful and overwhelming situation a bit more bearable. We put our house in their hands and they took care of everything, including coordinating attic insulation removal and replacement, and most importantly, dealing with our insurance adjuster! I really hope we never need restoration services again but if we do, I would definitely reach out to ServPro of Torrance. Thank you so much to Sabrina, Ricki, Philana, Jennilyn, and everyone at ServPro of Torrance!!!

As an HOA Manager, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many vendors over the years—but SERVPRO of Torrance continues to be a standout. They have been the primary remediation vendor for one of our largest communities—a 262-unit property in Playa Del Rey—for many years, and their performance has been nothing short of exceptional. SERVPRO consistently demonstrates a high level of professionalism, responsiveness, and technical expertise. Whether the issue is water intrusion, mold remediation, or emergency response, they are always quick to act, communicate clearly with management and residents, and follow through until the job is done right. Their technicians are courteous and respectful, and they understand the sensitivities of working in a multi-residential setting. The trust and long-term relationship they’ve built with this community is a testament to their reliability and quality of work. SERVPRO of Torrance is an invaluable partner, and I would confidently recommend them to any HOA or property management firm looking for a dependable, experienced remediation team.

My parents had a fire in the garage due to a candle that burned into flames November of 2024 and Servpro got started right away! They put my parents stuff into storage and started cleaning up everything right away! Packed everything in boxes and even labeled them! Philana, was wonderful! She helped my mom a TON! Always was so great with communication!

Thanks, Philana, for helping us navigate through our water leak mitigation process. You were always available by phone (or called back quickly), even at times of the day/week I wouldn't expect. Our leak was right before the Christmas holiday so it was especially stressful. Philana's communication with the us and explanation of the process helped a lot.

We had a supply line burst in our upstairs bathroom and flooded the downstairs of our home. Reached out to SERVPRO and spoke with Jennilyn who was very caring of our needs from beginning to end. Andy and Luis came out to assist the water damage in our home. They were very knowledgeable, professional and took care of our home from the beginning to end. I highly recommend Servpro of Torrance.

I had a major water leak that damaged almost half of my house. We got linked up with Servpro of Torrance for the rebuild and repair. I was contacted by several reps from their team to start the process. They immediately started the work and were very prompt, professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. I was kept in the loop at all times and that built confidence as we were facing a major overhaul we had not seen before. I would like to personally compliment Diko their PM and Philana, the front office manager who worked with me until the very end. After it was completed, I had a few follow-up items, and they made sure they attended to it even though the job was finished. I would give 5 stars and Kudos to the entire team for being so professional and helping us with restoration and rebuild of our house. Thank you so much Servpro of Torrance!

SERVPRO Flood Damage Knowledge Center

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.
