You have a wonderful house, a comfortable living space. Then a storm hits, and suddenly, everything went haywire. Before you despair, make sure you do the following first. There’s a way to manage the situation and leave you and your property unscathed.
Safety First
Storms can go from mild to severe. If the latter is your case and it would be safer for everyone to leave home, do so. This is even if the storm has subsided and it is only the excessive water left for you to deal with. Flooding could cause your structure to weaken, and you would not want it giving up when you are still seeking refuge from it.
Document the Damage
If you think cleanup is the first thing to think about when the storm subsides, and the water starts to empty, think again. You have to play journalist for your property insurance claims. You have to document the damages both the storm and the flooding has done to your home.
This will help your insurer provide sufficient coverage for what has happened. If you do this after, you will significantly decrease the extent of that coverage.
