Rosemead Flood Damage Restoration

When it comes to flooding, recognize the dangers!

Unfortunately flooding produced more deaths annually than any other natural disaster. And even though the danger is greatest during the flooding, there are also very real risks that continue well after the flooding has let up. Even inland flooding from hurricanes can be extremely unsafe. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has a great brochure detailing the different types of flooding that occur 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 home has the ability to transport disease causing pathogens. It’s why these types of floods are deemed a category 3 (black water) water damage loss, indicating it has the greatest chance of passing an infectious disease to individuals who come into contact with it. And while some people think that as long as they don’t have an open laceration that the water comes into contact they’ll be fine, the truth is some flood water can make you ill simple by breathing the fumes that are transmitted from it.

Electric shock is a huge danger!

While many times a significant storm will knock out power 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 facing a very dangerous threat in the form of electrocution. That is why we always advise homeowners confronting a flooded home to not walk into the flooded areas! Call right away for qualified assistance so that an expert can analyze the threat level and make the proper recommendation 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 Rosemead 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 large decision, and it’s one way too many property owners make without understanding their alternatives and the risks associated with those options. Particularly, which flood damage repair contractor to work with. A lot of folks, whether it’s due to their shock about what has taken place or just because the situation is so urgent, will hire anyone. But is that a smart decision when it comes to cleaning up flooding damage in your home and the long-term impacts that service can have? Of course not! You have to ensure the contractor you select employs professionals that know what they are doing when they get into your house.

So how can you be sure that is the case? Unfortunately, there is no form of certifying or licensing body within our industry at the governmental level, like you ‘d see for other vocations. What that means for you is that literally anyone can launch a flood damage company and service your home. With absolutely no certification or qualifications, they can offer a critical service to your home. Yikes! The good news is, one way to know if they know what they are doing is to make sure they hold certifications from the IICRC.
