Bradbury Flood Damage Restoration

When it comes to flooding, find out the dangers!

Unfortunately flooding led to more deaths annually than every other natural disaster. And although the danger is most significant in the middle of the flooding, there are also very real dangers that persist well after the flooding has receded. Even inland flooding from hurricanes can be very dangerous. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has a great brochure describing the various forms of flooding that happen that discusses the dangers of each.

Be aware of toxic pathogens in flood water!

Any water that has passed over or through the ground and ended up in your residence has the ability to transport disease causing microorganisms. It’s why these kinds of floods are deemed a category 3 (black water) water damage loss, meaning it has the most significant possibility of passing an infectious disease to individuals who come into contact with it. And while some individuals assume that as long as they don’t have an open injury that the water comes into contact they’ll be alright, the fact is some flood water can make you sick simple by breathing the fumes that are transmitted from it.

Electric shock is a huge danger!

While many times a significant storm will take out electricity to a home, sometimes that isn’t the case. Should the water find its way into your electrical system and your breaker not trip, you’re looking at a very hazardous threat in the form of electrocution. That is why we always caution homeowners dealing with a flooded home to not step into the flooded areas! Call right away for qualified assistance so that an expert can analyze the threat level and make the proper suggestions as to whether it’s safe to be in the home or not!

Will my flood restoration be covered by insurance?

In most instances, yes. Most Bradbury homeowners are either covered for losses through their standard homeowners policy or through flood insurance. While the first covers losses that are due to water pouring out from inside the home, flood insurance covers losses from rain, hurricanes, and other water sources outside of the home. So chances are your loss will be covered by insurance but it’s always best to read your policy so that you know what’s covered! Here’s a brief explanation of sudden water damage and a list of water losses typically covered under homeowners insurance:

• dishwasher overflow or leak
• pipe burst
• toilet, sink or bathtub/shower overflow
• refrigerator’s water line leaks
• hot water tank
• clothes washing machine hose malfunctions

These are all consider sudden losses, but things like rain entering your home, or sewage water backing up into your property, don’t typically fall under a standard policy given the source of the loss is an issue outside of the home.

Not all flood restoration companies are the same!

It’s such a big decision, and it’s one lots of property owners make without knowing their options and the risks associated with those options. Particularly, which flood damage repair contractor to hire. A lot of people, whether it’s due to their shock about what has happened or just because the problem is so critical, will hire anyone. But is that a smart decision when it comes to cleaning up flooding damage in your home and the lasting impacts that service can have? Of course not! You have to make certain the contractor you decide on employs specialists that know what they are doing when they get into your residence.

So how can you be positive that is the case? Sadly, there is no form of certifying or licensing system within our profession at the governmental level, like you ‘d see for other trades. What that means for you is that practically any person can establish a flood damage company and service your home.
