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.

Our water heater leaked while we were out of town creating a real nightmare for us, and unfortunately our neighbor below. SERVPRO was on site right away and initiated the water mitigation and restoration process immediately. The entire SERVPRO team was professional, caring, and genuinely concerned about getting our home back to "normal" at the earliest. Our project was specially challenging due to the amount of water that was spilled. They were fair during the entire process and restored our units to its original condition. You can't even tell there was any damage to our condos. Everyone, from the office staff to the workers, supervisors, and managers that worked, supervised and managed the project seemed genuinely concerned and made an unfortunate experience feel a less painful. I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to SERVPRO again should the need ever arise.

We had an excellent experience with SERVPRO of SE Portland after our kitchen was a total loss due to significant water damage. I want to specifically recognize Dominic, Summer, Angel, and all of the subcontractors who worked on our home. From start to finish, the team took care of the issue and made an incredibly stressful situation much easier to manage. They were professional, easy to work with, and coordinated directly with our insurance adjuster, which was a huge relief for us. Communication was, for the most part, flawless, and anytime we had a question or concern, it was addressed quickly. If we ever experience something like this again, I wouldn’t hesitate to call SERVPRO in a heartbeat. I would also confidently recommend them to anyone in need of restoration services.

I haven’t used them for the service (yet) but we will see how the quote comes in. I’m specifically leaving a review for my experience just on the process of getting a quote. The two that came (James & April) were respectful, very thorough, and nice to work with. I’m thankful they were so informative and even let me know they saw some other things while doing their scope of work that could save us in the future. Thanks!

Servpro is far and above a 10 star company. A pipe near my kitchen sink cabinet burst. They did both the water damage and the reconstruction. EVERY person I interacted with personally or by phone at Servpro was a true DIAMOND. Infinite gratitude and praise goes to Sebastian the manager, who negotiated tirelessly and rigorously with my insurance company to make sure I was taken care of. The water damage was extensive and while the other cabinets were not damaged by the water Mr Sebastian was able to make sure my cabinets matched to the old ones refinishing all my cabinets. My Insurance company also adamantly refused to cover the cost of a new countertop for the island even though it would not match to the new counter tops. Mr. Sebastian was able to work a plan and made sure my counters would match. I was happy to know Sebastian's focus was to make sure the job was done right and wasn't only profit driven. As a result of Mr.Sebastian's advocacy and efforts I was able to afford a brand new kitchen Which I love! I am a frail Senior Citizen and its important to mention that Servpro started work when I was 10 weeks out of major surgery and also have a special needs kitty who is my service animal as well. I cant emphasize enough how everyone at the company are rock stars and made me feel totally accommodated regarding my schedule and treatment of both my kitty and I. Ms Alana was very respectful and professional. Ms Alana faithfully kept me appraised of the crews schedule and always called ahead so I had ample time to get Francie situated comfortably and out of the way. Ms Alana was always infinitely patient, polite,respectful,responsible, and responsive with me. I can't adequately express enough gratitude and praise for Emmanuel who almost single handily did the reconstruction. His workmanship is precise, detail oriented,immaculate and has an excellent true eye for design. His suggestions truly brought my 1970's kitchen into a 21st century showplace. He was most patient,with me. He worked VERY hard in horrific heat to install my HEAVY stone backsplash which ended up with me not liking it, and professionally removed it and installed my new preference with a exquisite wood trim. I LOVE my kitchen thank you Emmanuel! Regarding the backsplash and me wanting to change the backsplash. All the staff in particular Ashley was over the top gracious, Patient and understanding in accepting my rejection of the labor-intensive work and installing the replacement. I must add that Emmanuel installed the laminate countertops + new backsplash without a single wrinkle, crease or bubble! He plus his partner removed, sanded, stained , and reinstalled 20!!!! cabinet faces in 1 day!!! Regarding the Water Damage Cleanup. David Stands out at identifying Mold that was caused by the water damage ( Which I now attribute to an overall feeling of not being well ). And him and the team being able to rectify and clean up swiftly!. Despite the language barrier we communicated perfectly and he was most patient, Respectful, skilled, and knowledgeable. Maria, Miladis, and Karen packed my entire kitchen with the utmost consideration. NOT ONE ITEM WAS DAMAGED OR BROKEN! and they thoughtfully made the boxes that held my stuff lighter for me to carry as I wanted to repack my kitchen myself. ( even though they urged me to let them carry them I preferred to do it ). They were very intuitive. I didn't have time to sort at all, but they brought my attention to important items that needed to be packed separately. They were wonderful. Also I had a huge wall of knick knacks and Karen was able to put back every single one accurately as it was before! IN SUMMARY- I would hire Servpro Southeast Portland again without any reservations. This is a company that truly puts the needs, preferences, and comfort of the customer foremost. (I threatened constantly to 'kidnap' them and take them to city hall to adopt as honorary Grandchildren- They are wonderful!)

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.
