Flood damage refers to the damage caused to property, infrastructure, and personal belongings as a result of flooding. Flood damage can occur due to a variety of reasons, such as heavy rain, overflowing rivers or streams, storm surges, or a burst water main. The severity of flood damage can range from minor water damage to catastrophic destruction of property and infrastructure.

Flood damage can be immediate, such as damage caused by rising water levels during a flood, or it can be long-term, such as damage caused by mold growth after the floodwaters have receded.

It’s important to address flood damage as soon as possible to prevent further damage and to ensure the safety of those in the affected area. Zenith Disaster Clean Up is here to help mitigate the damage and speed up the recovery process in the areas of Katy and Fulshear, TX.

What to Do When Basement Floods

If your house has been affected by flooding, it’s important to take immediate action to ensure your safety and minimize the damage.

Here are some steps you should take after flooding:

•  Before entering the flooded area, ensure that it’s safe to do so. Turn off the electricity and gas supply to the house, and wear protective gear, such as rubber boots and gloves, to avoid contact with contaminated water.
• Take photos and videos of the damage caused by the flooding. This will help you when filing an insurance claim.
• Use a wet vacuum or pump to remove standing water from your house. Be sure to dispose of the water in a safe and legal manner.
• Use fans and dehumidifiers to dry out your house. This will help prevent mold growth and further damage.
• Clean and disinfect all affected areas, including walls, floors, and furniture. Use a bleach solution to kill bacteria and mold.
• If the flooding was severe or caused significant damage, it’s best to call Zenith Disaster Clean Up. We have the equipment and expertise to restore your home to its pre-flood condition.

What NOT to Do After a Flooded Basement

After your house has been flooded, there are some things that you should avoid doing to prevent further damage or danger.

Here are some things you should not do after flooding:

• Don’t enter the flooded area without taking safety precautions. The floodwaters may be contaminated with sewage, chemicals, or other hazardous materials. Wear protective gear, such as rubber boots and gloves, before entering the flooded area.
• The electrical and gas systems may have been damaged by the floodwaters. Do not turn on the power until a professional electrician or gas company has inspected and deemed it safe.
•  Flooding can cause significant damage to the structure of your house. If you notice any signs of structural damage, such as cracks or sagging, do not enter the affected area and call a professional immediately, so, don’t ignore any signs of structural damage.
•  Even if items have been submerged in water, they may be salvageable. Don’t throw away any items until you’ve assessed their condition and determined whether they can be saved.
• The longer you wait to address flood damage, the greater the risk of mold growth and further damage. Take immediate action to dry out your house and start the restoration process.

Water Damage FAQs

How long does it take for water to cause structural damage?

It does not take long for water to cause structural damage as it can get absorbed in wood, drywall, and other materials and compromise their structural integrity within 24 hours.  This is why an immediate response to water damage is important.

How long does it take subfloors to rot from water damage?

If a home is affected by flooding or a leak, the water can seep into the floor and cause rotting to the subfloor in only a coupe of days.  Immediate attention is needed to prevent major damage to the floor.

How long does it take to dry out walls after water damage?

When drywall is affected by water damage, it takes at least 72 hours for the affected materials to dry.  The drying process used by our professionals can dry affected drywall in about 3-5 days depending on the extent of the damage.  Repairing the damage after drying can take several weeks.
