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.

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with David from SERVPRO. When our bathroom flooded and water came through our kitchen ceiling, we panicked and had no idea what to do. David arrived and immediately made us feel like everything was under control. He set up the fans and dehumidifiers, walked us through the process, and took the time to answer every question and concern we had. When he came back for the necessary demolition, he continued to be patient, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. No one wants to deal with water damage in their home, but David made a really stressful situation so much easier. He was punctual, reassuring, and genuinely great to work with. We could not have asked for a better person to help us through it. Thank you, David!

I just had Dave and his fellow on-call coworker (can't remember his name, sorry man!), finish up with emergency services after hours. My water heater decided to turn my finished basement, which includes a home theater, bar (under construction), and my office, into a swamp. The guys were very polite, good communicators, and very professional. As a former director of marketing for a privately owned restoration company, I would be fortunate to have these two on my crew!

We Just got as far as the assessment after a failed sump pump left water in our basement. We were impressed by Ali‘s presentation on the phone. She was professional, attentive and listened to what was needed. our holds were brief When she needed to clarify and answer for our questions. Her follow up was timely. Dave and Leonard were prompt for their appointment the next morning. They introduced themselves and what they would be doing during this visit. they set up and collected information from their equipment, as well as a narrative from my daughter and I. Dave, especially, took the time to educate us as to how Servpro works, and what to expect through this process. He is a young man of exceptional knowledge About all aspects of this industry. We had learned Information for this situation as well as for our future as homeowners.

The work was done at my mother's house, and I was the point of contact yet lived over an hour away. She got water in her finished basement. Rug needed removed, some furniture removed and I was concerned about mold. I mostly talked with Ashleigh in the office and she was very responsive. She provided a lot of information and guidance through the insurance process. I was always told when someone was coming and they were flexible in scheduling. Dave and his crew completed the work in the house. Dave was also very communicative and responsive. Dave told me exactly what needed done and I felt they went above and beyond. When I saw the basement, it smelled better than it had in years, it was clean, and I am confident there is no mold, which was my biggest concern. My mom said Dave and his crew were very nice.

Sandy Naylor

Really just so grateful for the competence, kindness, and communication of Brian and the team. They took good care of the water issue, but also looked out for my pets, kept things clean, and really just generally were a very reliable and trustworthy team.

Renee Blomstrom

Outstanding service and compassion from SERVPRO Upper Bucks! We had water damage at my elderly mother’s home on a Saturday, which turned into a long and stressful evening for everyone. The entire SERVPRO team on-site was courteous, professional and incredibly thorough. They explained the mitigation process step by step, answered all of our questions, and explained what to expect next. David, lead technician, provided his cell phone number and told me I could reach him 24/7 with any questions or concerns. While the rest of the team was working downstairs, lead technician, David Cook was the person I interacted with most., and I especially want to recognize him for the compassion he showed my elderly mom, who was understandably very distraught about what was happening in her home. David mentioned that my mom reminded him of his grandmother, and I could truly tell that he genuinely cared about her. As the team continued removing damaged flooring and working through the mitigation process, David continued to check on my Mom and me throughout the evening. He spoke to her in such a calm, gentle and caring manner, taking the time to reassure her and make sure she understood what was happening. It was a very stressful and emotional situation and David’s kindness made a difference. He wasn’t just doing a job - he was taking care of my mom as a person and that meant so much to me! Thank you, David, and the entire SERVPRO Upper Bucks team, for your professionalism, compassion and outstanding service. You went above and beyond, not only taking care of the damage, but also the people affected by it. We are so grateful!

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.
