Before taking any action for the repair of the home, make sure to take thorough pictures of the damage to use later on for the insurance claim. If you don’t have a proof for the damage, you might not get the full compensation. If the flood happened to a larger area, your agent might be busy, so it is a good idea to call the main company as well. After confirming with the insurance company, then you can start working on repairing your home.
A flooded house can cause extensive damage to your house, and usually, it’s not a good idea to take all of that work over on yourself. The choice for most homeowners in the case of a flood is to get a contractor that can work on delivering the most optimal solution for your home.
As the repair that happens after the flood is a delicate process, it is best for you to choose a company with extensive experience working with floods and water damage in general. One of the most important parts is dealing with drywall and carpets. Sometimes the drywall can be restored to its original state, but usually, it has to be replaced when damaged. After replacing extra care is needed when matching the color to the rest of the wall.
As for the carpet or rugs, it is best for them to be removed and thoroughly cleaned and dried. Throughout the entire process, dehumidifiers should be running to remove the moisture and help dry the area.
