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 house was repaired by Servpro's team. During the repair, I was at work, and my parents were at home. My parents witnessed the entire repair process. Every time I came home from work, my parents would praise the team for their work. Moreover, my parents didn't know English, so they used translation software to communicate patiently if any issues occurred. The team was very thoughtful and careful throughout the process. After the repair, our house was just like it was first built. This is a quality repair team, and there is no lack of effort in the work. It is a trustworthy repair team doing its best for its client. Any landlord or homeowner can rest assured to leave their repair jobs to them, and they will definitely get the desired end results.

Earlier this year, my fuel oil furnace blew up resulting in a major puffback issue that caused soot to come out of every vent in my house, with the main damage being in my basement (see before and after photos). All of my walls, carpet, belongings, furniture, etc. had been covered in soot, which was nearly impossible (and frustrating) for my family and I to clean on our own. Our other major issue was that we had no source of heating in the middle of winter. Servpro managed to literally fix all of our problems. They quickly came to assess the situation, provided us with air purifiers, a kerosene heater, and an electric heater for our basement. They made sure that we always had our kerosene heater and the extra gas jugs they provided filled, even in the rough winter weather. The cleanup that followed was incredibly thorough, and they made sure that all of our belongings were cleaned correctly on and off-site. We had a lot of clothing, blankets, toys, collectibles, etc. that needed cleaned, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Honestly, the house is cleaner now than it was when I originally purchased it. Our carpet ended up needing removed, which they also took care of quickly and safely prepared the bare floor for our future flooring installation. Most importantly, the crew members that participated in resolving this issue were extremely helpful, detailed, professional, personable, and overall fantastic to work with. They worked with my homeowner's insurance agent directly, which made that process much less of a headache. Mikey, Tori, Olivia, Sarah, Josh, Lina, Brody, Karen, Ryan, James, and all the other crew members from Servpro were beyond helpful. My family (and our cats) cannot thank Servpro enough for making sure our house was safe and comfortable to live in during this difficult time.

We are so thankful we decided to call SERVPRO! When Mikey, Jarrett, and Sherry showed up at our door we immediately felt confident that they were the right people for the job. They, along with their great team including Zach, Brody, Aaron, Noah, and maybe a few others we did not know of, did a fantastic job mitigating the extensive damage caused by an unnoticed leaky faucet. We could not believe how quickly, yet thoroughly they all worked. In addition to their impressive workmanship, the friendly attitude and enthusiasm of each individual member of the team was greatly appreciated! We will definitely recommend SERVPRO to anyone looking for a polite, respectful, trustworthy, and hard-working team to handle any disaster they might be dealing with.

This service was a gift from God! Wow, they showed up the day that I called them and started drying out the water damaged flooring in my bathroom. They were polite, prompt, respectful, knowledgeable and the whole team worked as a well oiled machine to get my house back in order. Shawn, Ken, Josh and Austin are amazing and I am so thankful that they were the team working on our house. I will recommend ServPro to everyone I meet because they are the best!

We had Derek and his crew come help us with our flooding catastrophic mess in our bedroom and our whole basement. I have to say they were very nice and professional and did a great job.

Had a mishap with our washer just after Christmas and it flooded our finished basement. There was too much water for us to handle ourselves. We called Servpro and had a call back from Mikey in less than 30 minutes to set up a consultation. Mikey got to us ASAP, got the water extracted and set us up with equipment to dry everything out. Super friendly, communicative, professional, and efficient. The Servpro office, Mikey, and his team really came through for us over the holidays!

We had water damage caused by a plastic part on the back of our Whirlpool refrigerator that had snapped off one night after using the water dispenser. A lot of water rushed underneath in a short amount of time, saturated the drywall behind the refrigerator, and made its way into the basement. It was "raining" from the basement ceiling until we were able to reach the refrigerator water line shutoff valve. The very next day we opened a claim with our homeowner's insurance and SERVPRO was at our home within a couple of hours. The team that took care of our home was awesome! They made sure they covered all areas while doing the moisture mapping and knew exactly what needed to be done to help us dry the walls, basement floor, and ceiling. Highly skilled and very knowledgeable. Water damage is a stressful situation, but knowing we have SERVPRO when something like this happens is a huge relief. Thank you so much!

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.
