A flood can cause physical hazards and emotional stress. You need to look after yourself and your family as you focus on cleanup and repair.

When water damage occurs, you have to act quickly. Prompt mitigation efforts will reduce additional damage and mold growth. Our representatives will coordinate personnel to your home or office to stop the source of the problem and mitigate the water damage.

Safety Hazards – Do Not Do The Following

  • Enter any area with standing water
  • Turn on lights in affected areas
  • Use outlets in affected areas
  • Walk on wet surfaces, if possible
  • Turn on A/C or heating, as it could spread contamination
  • Use your household vacuum to remove the excess water
  • Use electrical appliances while standing on wet floor or carpets
  • Stay in any rooms where the ceiling is sagging from trapped water

Precautions to Take After Water Damage or Flood

  • Avoid floodwaters; water may be contaminated by oil, gasoline or raw sewage.
  • Service damaged septic tanks, cesspools, pits and leaking systems as soon as possible. Damaged sewer systems are serious health hazards.
  • Listen for news reports to learn whether the community’s water supply is safe to drink.
  • Clean and disinfect everything that got wet. Mud left from floodwaters can contain sewage and chemicals.
  • Rest often and eat well.
  • Keep a manageable schedule. Make a list and do jobs one at a time.
  • Discuss your concerns with others and seek help. Contact American Red Cross for information on emotional support available in your area.
