SERVPRO Tips for Handling a Flood Damaged Home

Floods due to natural disasters such as storms, hurricanes or tornadoes are any property owner’s worst nightmare. The flood waters can wreak havoc on your Daytona Beach property and leave it in a miserable state. Apart from the structural damage, flood waters can also cause secondary damage if the restoration is not started promptly.

Thankfully, here at SERVPRO of North Daytona Beach/Ormond Beach, we have a team of experts who can help you restore your Daytona Beach home after a flood. Although you cannot be fully prepared for any natural disaster, you can have a plan in place. Here are a few things that you should do, if a natural disaster causes flooding in your home. 

Ensure your safety

Your and your family’s safety is the most important thing during and after a natural disaster. Make sure that you are safe and dry. Do not try to do anything that puts you at risk of injury or bodily harm. Safety comes first; everything else can wait. 

Contact professionals as soon as possible

Seeking professional help is the next most important thing to do after a flood damage. Make sure that you have the contact number of SERVPRO handy, and contact our expert disaster management team as soon as you can. The best way to limit the extent of damage and ensure restoration is swift action.

As soon as you call us, we will dispatch a team of experts to access the situation and develop a restoration plan. The priority is to get the water out of the property. SERVPRO technicians use state-of-the-art equipment to pump water out of your home in no time.

We also use extractors, air movers and dehumidifiers to get your home dry as soon as possible and to minimize secondary damage. 

Call your insurance company

Take many pictures of your flooded home, if you can, and contact your insurance company. Make sure that you are not discarding or throwing away anything. You can also ask your insurance adjuster about the things that are covered under your policy. SERVPRO technicians can help you with documentation and file insurance claims as well.
