Carson Flood Damage Restoration

When it comes to flooding, recognize the dangers!

Unfortunately flooding produced more deaths every year than any other natural disaster. And even though the danger is greatest in the middle of the flooding, there are also very real threats that continue well after the flooding has let up. Even inland flooding from hurricanes can be incredibly hazardous. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has a great brochure describing the various forms of flooding that happen that explains 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 house has the capacity to transport disease causing pathogens. It’s why these kinds of floods are deemed a category 3 (black water) water damage loss, signifying it has the greatest possibility of passing an infectious disease to people who come into proximity with it. And while some individuals presume that because 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 inhaling the fumes that are emitted from it.

Electric shock is a huge danger!

While many times a significant storm will knock out electricity to a property, sometimes that isn’t the case. Should the water find its way into your electrical system and your circuit breaker not trip, you’re looking at a very dangerous threat in the form of electrocution. That is why we always caution homeowners dealing with a flooded home to not walk into the flooded spots! Call right away for professional 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 Carson 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 huge decision, and it’s one way too many homeowners make without comprehending their alternatives and the risks connected with those options. Particularly, which flood damage repair contractor to hire. A lot of folks, whether it’s due to their shock about what has happened or simply because the situation is so serious, will hire anyone. But is that a practical choice when it comes to cleaning up flooding damage in your home and the long lasting impacts that service can have? Of course not! You have to ensure the contractor you select hires professionals that know what they are doing when they get into your residence.
