Floods are probably the most common of all natural disasters
in the United States, and are certainly among the most destructive. Floods occur in all 50 states, and can happen
anywhere, at any time, causing billions of dollars every year in damage to life
and property.
Floods can wash away roads, knock out bridges, change the
course of rivers and streams, sweep away cars, and even shift home and
businesses on their foundations. The
level of damage left behind must truly be seen to be believed.
Of course it is possible to save homes and businesses
following a flood, if you act quickly, and if you take the right steps in the
correct order.
You should always think safety above all else. Wait until the flood waters have receded and
the all clear given by emergency management authorities before returning to
your home. Once you do return, check to
make sure the structure is stable, and shut off all electricity and gas to the
home before re-entering.
Document the damage with photos or video, then remove all
loose items, furniture, and appliances from the home. They can be cleaned and dried elsewhere
without obstructing subsequent repair efforts.
All water will need to be extracted from the house; flooring,
carpet, and drywall will need to be completely dried out. Failure to dry everything will allow for the
propagation of mold, which can establish quickly, spread rapidly, cause all manner
of health issues, and prove extremely difficult to remediate.
