Get Directions
Are you equipped to handle the aftermath of a flood? If you are uncertain what to do, review some basic flood rehabilitation steps that may be taken during the recovery phase.
Initiating Your Flood Insurance Policy
Your flood insurance policy outlines who to call in case of an emergency flood. Several steps are typically taken after flooding occurs. The first thing you must do is get to higher ground.
Avoid staying in rising waters, as this could endanger your life. Instead, call the insurance number designated for reporting a flood. This step will initiate the claims process.
Understanding the Claims Process
Your property will need to be assessed at the beginning of the claims process. This assessment determines the extent of the damage and identifies the rehabilitation steps that may be necessary during the recovery process.
- Water collection
- Drying process
- Land grading
- Drainage material installation
- Mold testing
- Mold mitigation
- Cleaning process
- Final inspection
Navigating Flood Rehabilitation Steps
You will be guided throughout the flood rehabilitation process. If your property is unsafe, you may be advised to secure temporary housing. The accommodations you secure will serve as a makeshift home for now.
Leaving your property will ensure you and your family remain safe. You will also provide the rehabilitation team full access to your property. This will allow the flood rehabilitation team to perform their assigned duties uninterrupted.
