When flood or water related damage takes place it can often be difficult to remember what to do next. Here to help is the Dallas Flood Damage Repair checklist to walk you through the process step-by-step.


1. Call for help. Contact a Dallas flood damage repair company immediately. Search for someone that provides 24/7 support and is able to send a technician to your home right away.


2. Turn off the electricity. Electricity and water don’t mix. Even if you feel the area is safe it is better to err on the side of caution until a professional has time to evaluate the situation.


3. Stop the water. If at all possible attempt to stop more water from entering the home.


4. Move to higher ground. Remove furniture, equipment and other items away from the water and moisture. If you are unable to remove furniture then contact a storage company and have it relocated until the water is extracted and the home is dried. Some Dallas flood damage repair companies are able to provide removal of furniture and belongings as part of their complete package of services.


5. Extraction. Have all water and humidity professionally extracted from the home including carpets, furniture, drywall and other impacted areas.


6. Removal. Some items may not be salvageable and will require appropriate disposal. If you aren’t sure, consult with a professional Dallas flood damage repair provider who will be able to assist in determining what is able to be fixed and what could be a potential health hazard.


7. Repair. Flooding causes damage to many areas that will require repairs; cabinets, walls, floors and furniture frequently need extensive remediation after flood related damage takes place.


8. Document. Take pictures and record notes on all activity related to the flood damage. It will assist in submitting a claim to your insurance provider as well as help in repairs and restoration.


9. Leave. Extensive water related damage can cause health related issues ranging from infections to allergic reactions. Lock up and leave the home rather than risk an injury or illness related to flood damage if your home has extensive water damage.
