At SERVPRO, we understand that property damage can be overwhelming. With decades of experience, SERVPRO can help document damage and provide information related to the services performed that can assist customers during the insurance claim process.

Groundwater flooding is usually covered by flood insurance, not a standard homeowners policy.

Knowing where the main water shutoff is located on your property can help prevent water damage to your home or business in an emergency.

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 have a great experience with SERVPRO company, they are highly professional and organized. Mr. David, team member, showed up on time when he said he would and kept to the schedule without exception. The team was really analytical and they have thought through every detail, explained the options clearly, and anticipated problems I hadn't even considered. They were patient with all my questions, unfailingly polite, and extremely helpful whenever something needed figuring out — it genuinely felt like they cared about getting it right, not just getting it done. And the work itself was excellent and neat, clean, precise finishes, and they left the site tidy at the end of each day. I couldn't be happier with the result, and I'd recommend them without hesitation.

. UPDATE: I previously left a negative review because SERVPRO did not respond to my water-damage situation as promptly as I had been led to expect. I had paid for water mitigation, and several days passed without the drying equipment being installed. By that point, I was extremely frustrated and canceled the service. I am updating my review because of the way SERVPRO responded once Operations Manager Steve Rodriguez became involved. Steve called me personally, listened to my concerns, apologized, and acknowledged that SERVPRO had dropped the ball. More importantly, he immediately took responsibility for making things right. Steve personally went to my home, where I was able to communicate with him remotely because I could not be there. He had the affected baseboards removed so the area could be properly inspected for hidden moisture or damage. Thankfully, no microbial growth was found. He then arranged for the affected carpet to be professionally cleaned at no charge and for the baseboards to be reinstalled at no charge. Mistakes happen in any business. What matters to me is how a company responds when they do. I was very unhappy with SERVPRO’s initial handling of this situation, but I could not have asked for a better response from Steve once he became involved. He was professional, accountable, courteous, and genuinely concerned about resolving the problem. I believe excellent customer service deserves to be acknowledged just as much as poor service deserves criticism, which is why I am updating my review. Thank you, Steve, for taking my concerns seriously and making this right. I hired SERVPRO for water mitigation after a leak at my Florida home. They inspected the damage on Wednesday, did not send the estimate until Thursday afternoon, and I approved it, signed the paperwork, and paid them promptly because this was a water-damage situation that needed immediate attention. By Saturday, I had heard nothing from them, so I called to find out what was happening. I then learned that no work had been done at all. No drying equipment had been placed, no mitigation had begun, and I was told the job apparently was not scheduled until Monday. Waiting nearly a week after the initial inspection to begin water mitigation defeats the purpose of hiring a water-mitigation company. By the time I called, the carpet had already dried on its own, and I am now concerned about odor or damage to the carpet and padding that timely action might have prevented. What was especially disappointing was the lack of communication. If they could not begin the work promptly, they should have told me so before accepting payment so I could have hired another company. I canceled the service and requested a full refund because SERVPRO performed no work whatsoever. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this location for emergency water mitigation.

SERVPRO did an outstanding job from beginning to end. Mickey and Brandon did an awesome job and was professional, dependable, and attentive throughout the entire process. They kept us informed and made sure everything was completed correctly. The finished work looks excellent, and everything was left clean and organized. We truly appreciate Mickey and Brandon’s hard work and attention to detail. I highly recommend SERVPRO to anyone needing restoration or repair services!

I’m giving 5 stars because they were very responsive and helped with the whole insurance process as well. I do think some services were a bit overpriced and found some items were damaged upon content manipulation but they fixed it. Overall glad they worked to get me and my family back in the house quicker because the insurance sure didn’t.

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.
