Water Damage Emergency Tips

If you or a loved one own a property in an area affected by flash flooding, hopefully you have already taken steps to protect it, such as ensuring you have proper landscape drainage systems in place to direct water away from buildings. However, with or without these types of precautions in place, you naturally want to do everything in your power to limit the damage from any flooding that may occur.

Here are some tips for actions you can take to protect your belongings from flood damage, even at the last minute.

Clean Your Drain System In most cases, the same rainfall that is creating a risk of flash flooding upslope from your property will also fall on your home or business. Make sure you don’t end up with water damage from above as well as below by quickly cleaning your gutters, downspouts, and drains of debris. It doesn’t have to be a perfect job—any cleaning you can do will help.

Move your Belongings: The more of your belongings you can move out of harm’s way the better. You may want to roll up rugs and remove furniture or at least put it up on blocks to keep it from getting wet. You should also be careful to unplug all electronics and make sure they are off the floor too.

Check  your Sump Pumps: If you rely on a sump pump to keep your basement dry, you should be getting regular maintenance for it. But even so, you should check on it when flash flooding is expected. That way, you can make sure the backup battery is fresh and/or replace it as needed.

Turn Off Electricity: If you think any of your electrical outlets may end up underwater as a result of the flooding, it is a good idea to turn off the electricity at the main breaker panel.

Water Damage Restoration

Water damage can be deceptive. Water penetrates into structural cavities creating trapped pockets of saturation. The detection of water in these areas can often only be discovered with sophisticated moisture detection meters. Undetected moisture will continue to cause damage. This damage, at a minimum, will cause odors. Greater damage will surface when materials delaminate, shrink, split and further deteriorate to where costly repairs are required.

Emergency Water Damage Services

Water damage describes a large number of possible losses caused by water intruding where it will enable attack of a material or system by destructive processes such as rotting of wood, growth, rusting of steel, de-laminating of materials such as plywood, and many, many others. the damage may be imperceptibly slow and minor such as water spots that could eventually mar a surface, or it may be instantaneous and catastrophic such as flooding. However fast it occurs, water damage is a major contributor to loss of property.
