Step 1: Assess The Damage
Take note of the extent of the damage to your home and surrounding areas. Check for any structural issues, such as water-damaged walls or ceilings.
Step 2: Document The Damage
Take photos of any water-damaged items, including electrical appliances and furniture. Also, document the damage to your home's foundation, walls, and roof.
Step 3: Contact Your Insurance Company
Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to report the flood and start the claims process. Be prepared to provide documentation of the damage.
Step 4: Stay Safe And Dry
Keep yourself and your family safe by staying indoors and away from floodwaters. If you need to evacuate, do so only if it's necessary.
