Water Damage Restoration after a Flood

There aren’t very many things quite as scary as watching flood waters rise. As the water reaches your home, you learn very quickly that nothing is going to stop it. The only thing you can do is cross your fingers that it subsides quickly, so you can begin water damage restoration.

Before you return to your home, do make sure that the electricity is off. Depending on the amount of water that entered your home, you will want to ensure that it is structurally sound. If the flood waters were only a couple of inches deep, this shouldn’t be an issue. Finally, make sure no small critters – such as snakes – came into your home with the water.

When it comes to your carpets, mold is the biggest issue you will need to deal with. It can take a few days for it to appear, but even before you can see it – or smell it – it is starting to grow. Drying out your carpets is of utmost importance.

Mold will not only make your home smell, it can be a health hazard for you and your family.
