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.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with SERVPRO! From start to finish, Troy and Al went above and beyond while helping us remediate a mold situation in our home. Troy and Al were incredibly hardworking, kind, thoughtful, and respectful throughout the entire process. They took the time to ask us questions along the way to make sure they were meeting our needs, and they were always willing to answer our questions and explain what they were doing. Their attention to detail was exceptional, and the amount of care they put into cleaning and completing the job thoroughly far exceeded anything we could have expected. What impressed us most was how much pride Troy and Al clearly took in their work. They didn't simply do what was required—they went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right and that we were happy with the result. When they finished, everything was incredibly clean, and they left absolutely no trace that such extensive work had even taken place. Having mold remediation done in your home can be stressful, especially when you are already dealing with everything that comes along with a new home, but Troy and Al made the entire experience so much easier for us. We are incredibly grateful for their hard work, professionalism, kindness, and care. SERVPRO is very lucky to have them, and we would absolutely recommend them and SERVPRO to anyone needing their services!

We are very thankful for their time and effort & highly recommend the SERVPRO Restoration Team. My Mom’s house had water come into the basement. They were very responsive and removed the rugs and pieces of the walls that were damaged by the water. We were then able to work with them to come up with a plan to restore the basement. They installed new sheetrock and suspended ceiling grid & tiles along with painting the walls. The team always cleaned up at the end of each day and were very friendly and respectful of my Mom’s house and her time. To every member of the team: Gary, Mike, Tom, Dawn, Nick, Bob & Mark; thanks again for taking such good care of my Mom and her home!

Sharing positive experience working with the ServPro team out of Windham & Windsor Counties, VT. Wilman, the Restoration Manager/Estimator, was easy to work with and a good communicator. From request to Wilman, he had Troy and Alex come out to do an additional treatment which was thoroughly done is some tough areas of our home to get to. This is our 3rd experience with this team given recurring ice dams on our back roof and all 3 times working with this ServPro team have gone well.

Troy and the ServPro team came to the rescue of our home after pipes burst this winter. Thankfully, a ServPro human answered our call on a Friday, sent someone out Saturday morning to document damage, and deployed a plan Sunday morning to dry the house out over 2-weeks. Troy was the lead tech, he was friendly, hands on, and knowledgeable on how to dry the house out. This was my first time dealing with burst pipes, but he explained the plan, the process, and science of how to properly tackle this disaster. We actually felt prioritized during a busy time of year for burst pipes. For two weeks straight ServPro’s team was onsite daily to monitor progress of machines running 24/7 and adjust accordingly. They answered all of our many many questions, provided the people and machines to dry our home, and connected us to a preferred vendor for aespestos testing. So again, a big thanks to Troy and the team at ServPro. You actually live up to your motto, ”It’s Like It Never Happened…”

Servpro first came into my life last March, when there was a fire in my three-story rental building. What ensued was nothing less than a full demolition of the interior, including multiple dumpster loads of sodden and noxious building materials. The Servpro crew did the most incredible job of clearing the building out, setting the stage for the reconstruction. And, after that was completed, Servpro came back to recondition the lawn area that had been damaged by the dumpster, all without adding anything to my bill. I hope I don't have any upcoming disasters like this fire, but, if I do, I know I'll call Servpro right away. Excellent company.

Hello and thank you for this opportunity to write . I came home after Christmas to a major water leak and lost most of my downstairs . Servpro was there and did an amazing job with demolition, drying out and emotional support for me and my dog! I have never been through anything like this before and without their professionalism as well as their humane treatment of the situation…not sure it would have been the manageable time it was. I would definitely recommend this organization. Gary R was there for every phone call and keeping me knowledgeable about what to expect. Tyson who led the team that was in my home was so considerate to me and my home . Jeff, whom I can’t say enough about was the kindest gentleman and such a great asset to this company. Naomi was one of the very first people I met on a daily basis and thank you so much for carrying me through this on a personal level … I so appreciate all of these folks . Best, Deb Billings and her dog, Gus

Start to finish our families experience with the team at Servpro couldn’t have been better. From our first conversation with GARY the project manager, all the way through to the team of individuals. They came over a two weeks span to remediate water damage and mold in our home. First, let me say that GARY is an incredibly present kind caring human being. Generous with his time and knowledge. He truly has a tremendous amount of patience, And goes above and beyond to try and help his customers understand all the nuances of navigating such anordeal when it comes to mediation, and also dealing with insurance companies. Everyone on GARY’s team that participated in the remediation process in our home were wonderful human beings. So often when you have anywhere from 6 to 9 people coming through your home to work it can be disruptive. Never once did we feel this way. Everyone was engaging, friendly, courteous, and respectful. We have another project that needs to be done in a few weeks and I’m glad that we will have this team to execute that project also. I would highly recommend Servpro and this wonderful team to anyone in need of their services. The Souza Family.

The damage to our family home was devastating but thankfully ServPro came to our rescue. First Gary appeared on our doorstep with experience, a little humor and compassion. Then he sent Tyson and Jeremy who did all the dirty work and provided useful information and further explained what it would be like dealing with our insurance company. Then for day three it was Tyson and Jaden who furthered along the drying process and began the removal of flooring and sheet rock too wet to dry. And for the last two days it was Tyson, Zack and Troy who finished the last of the demolition and left our house in the best possible condition ready to be rebuilt. All the ServPro employees were knowledgeable, generous, hard working and completely professional. Thank you ServPro

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.
