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.

SERVPRO came into our lives during one of the most stressful and overwhelming experiences our family has gone through. A water loss and mold situation is not just damage to a house — it completely disrupts your sense of normalcy, your routines, and honestly your feeling of security in your own home. Having rooms torn apart, dealing with uncertainty, and trying to navigate the emotional side of it all has been incredibly difficult. Through all of it, the SERVPRO team has shown not only professionalism and skill, but something even more important: compassion, empathy, and kindness. I specifically want to recognize several members of this team because each of them made a real difference for our family. Kainan Jennings has been involved in all aspects of this project and has truly been exceptional. Demo, mitigation, communication — he has done it all, and done it with professionalism, empathy, and heart. Kainan consistently showed up with a positive attitude despite the difficult circumstances surrounding the job. He treated us like people first and clients second. In a process that can feel cold and clinical, he brought humanity into it, and we will not forget that. Kilye Graves deserves special recognition not only for demolition and water mitigation work, but for communication. When you are living through home damage, communication becomes incredibly important because there are so many unknowns. Kyle consistently helped bridge that gap. Questions were answered, updates were given, and there was a genuine sense that he cared about what we were experiencing — not just the project itself. That empathy and willingness to communicate helped lower stress levels for our entire family. Mackenzie King worked on the demolition portion of our project, and I cannot say enough good things. Demo work is hard, messy, physically demanding work, yet Mackenzie approached everything with professionalism and care. When your home is being taken apart around you, you feel vulnerable, and Mackenzie always treated both us and our home with respect. There was never a feeling that this was “just another job.” That kindness mattered more than she probably realizes. Carlos Reys-Mendoza worked on both demolition and water mitigation, and his work ethic and calm presence stood out immediately. Water damage mitigation is one of those things homeowners hope they never have to learn about, and Carlos helped make a frightening process feel manageable. He worked hard, was thorough, and helped restore confidence that our home was being taken care of correctly. During a very emotional time, that reassurance means everything. SERVPRO should be incredibly proud of this team. Technical skill is important, but compassion cannot be taught, and this team has both. They helped us through one of the hardest home experiences we have ever had, and we are deeply grateful. Thank you all for the care you showed our family.

Gavin helped me and was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the moment he arrived, he brought such a friendly, positive energy that instantly made a stressful situation feel manageable. He worked incredibly hard the entire time, never cutting corners, and made sure I understood what was happening at every step. His kindness and dedication really stood out. I’m truly grateful for everything he did.

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.
