Safety First

Do not enter your home if the water level is still high or if electrical power is on. Shut off electricity at the main breaker if it's safe to do so. Wear rubber boots and gloves when walking through flooded areas. Watch for structural damage like sagging ceilings, buckled floors, or leaning walls. If you see any of these signs, leave immediately and call a structural engineer. Document everything with photos and videos before moving or cleaning anything. Your insurance adjuster will need to see the damage as it occurred.

Remove Water Immediately

Start removing standing water using pumps, wet vacuums, or buckets. The faster you remove water, the less damage it will cause. Pull up wet carpet and padding and move them outside to dry or dispose of them. Do not leave wet materials inside the house. Remove wet contents from the affected area and place them in a dry location. Separate items that can be saved from items that are too damaged. Do not throw anything away until your adjuster approves it.

Dry Everything Fast

Open windows and doors to increase ventilation. Run fans and dehumidifiers if electricity is restored. Remove baseboards to allow air to circulate behind walls. Do not close up wet areas or try to repair damage until everything is completely dry. Mold starts growing within 48 hours, so speed is critical. If you cannot dry the space yourself within two days, call a professional restoration company.

Insurance Claims for Flooding

Flooding from rising water requires separate flood insurance and is not covered by standard homeowners policies. However, if the water entered due to a plumbing failure or sewer backup, your homeowners policy may cover it. We help determine the source, document the timeline, and file the correct claim. If you have flood insurance through NEMA, we handle that claim and ensure all required documentation is submitted.
