Water damage can occur at any time and usually at the most inconvenient time. Whether broken or busted pipes are the source of the water damage or flooding from heavy rainfall, damage can be devastating.

Water can reach very deep levels quickly. Flash floods can take only minutes to destroy property. Flash flooding is the leading cause of weather related deaths per year in the US, averaging about 200 per year.

Often homeowners carry no flood insurance which makes for an even more trying experience.

If you have time to prepare for an evacuation which may be likely, make sure to turn off your utilities at the main switch. Unplug all electrical appliances and make sure to avoid touching electrical equipment when standing in water.

Don’t underestimate the power of water. It only takes a few inches to cause a fall or injury and even drowning.

Avoid driving through water, water can rise quickly and destroy your vehicle and even sweep you and your vehicle away.

If you must leave your home make sure to stay away from the damaged areas until it has been announced safe to return.

After the flood is over, clean up is a long and arduous process. Contaminated mud is not only horrific to look at it is potentially dangerous. The mud will need to be shoveled out and the area sprayed down totally.

Electrical systems should be inspected by professionals before turning back on. The same applies to electrical appliances. There will be staining, gritty residues and film that is very hard to clean and disinfect. Carpets, flooring and walls all will need special treatment.

If proper cleaning and disinfecting isn’t done mold and mildew can grow and cause unsafe conditions.
