Handling Flood Damage in your Home or Business

Flood damage of any size may require water damage restoration. Any amount of water in a home or business may be difficult for independent mitigation. The homeowner or business owner may attempt water cleanup with a water vacuum and to utilize a fan to increase air movement and drying in the area if suitable.

However, If the damages are severe, it is best to seek a professional for mitigation and water damage restoration.

Whether there are signs of damage from water in a business setting or within a home, it is crucial to seek mitigation and water damage restoration immediately. Water damage, including flood damage, can cause problems such as degradation of wood and other porous surfaces, microbial growth and rusting of steel.

If an insurance policy is available, the insurance company should be contacted immediately and informed of the flood damage. They may require that repairs and water cleanup not be carried out by the home or business owner, the insurance company will provide further instructions on what to do about flooded water in a business or home.
