When you contact us, our team of experts will promptly respond to your call. We understand the urgency of the situation and will dispatch a skilled crew to assess the flood damage as quickly as possible.

The first crucial step in flood damage restoration is removing standing water from your property. Our team will utilize powerful pumps and extraction equipment to efficiently remove water from affected areas.
After water removal, we focus on thoroughly drying the affected areas to prevent further damage and mold growth. We use high-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to expedite the drying process.
Floodwaters can carry contaminants, so it’s essential to sanitize and clean all affected surfaces and belongings. We employ safe and effective cleaning methods to restore your property to a clean and safe environment.
The final step involves restoring and repairing any structural damage caused by the flood. Our skilled craftsmen will work diligently to rebuild and renovate your property, making sure it looks and functions as good as new.
Handling flood damage before the professionals arrive can be helpful in some cases to minimize further damage and protect your property. Here are three tips to help you in this situation:
The safety of you and your family should be your top priority. Before entering the flooded area, turn off the electricity to prevent electric shock. If the water level is high, avoid walking through it, as it may conceal hazards or strong currents. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as waterproof boots and gloves, to avoid contact with contaminated water.
Start removing excess water as soon as it’s safe to do so. Use a wet/dry vacuum, buckets, mops, or sponges to remove as much water as possible. Additionally, open doors and windows to increase ventilation and aid in the drying process. If you have access to a dehumidifier, use it to reduce moisture levels in the air.
If possible, salvage valuable and sentimental items from the flooded area. Move furniture, electronics, documents, and other possessions to a dry location. Elevate furniture on blocks or place aluminum foil underneath the legs to prevent further water damage. Take photographs of the damage for insurance purposes and make a list of all damaged items.
Most homeowners’ insurance policies don’t cover flood damage. This means that if your home gets damaged due to flooding caused by heavy rains, storm surges, overflowing rivers, or other natural disasters involving floods, your standard policy won’t pay for the repairs.
If you live in a flood-prone area, it’s crucial to think about getting a separate flood insurance policy. Remember that each insurance policy has its own terms and coverage options. So, it’s important to go through your policy details or have a conversation with your insurance provider to understand exactly what is covered and what isn’t. If you’re worried about flood damage coverage, it’s best to directly ask your insurance company to make sure you have the right coverage for your specific situation.
