During a Flood

• Don’t try to walk across flowing streams of water or drive through flooded roadways.
• If water rises in your home and you can’t get out, go to the top floor, attic, or roof. If your attic has no outside access, get out!
• Turn off all utilities at the main power switch and close the main gas valve if flooding is likely.
• Keep power off until an electrician has inspected your system for safety.
• Treat floodwater as if it is contaminated with chemical and biological hazards, because it often is.
• Remember that flooding can increase the risk from wild animals such as snakes, venomous insects, and injured, potentially dangerous mammals.

After Flood Damage

• Check for structural damage before re-entering your home or business.
• If your home has suffered damage, call your insurance agent to file a claim. Abbotts can file your cleanup and restoration claim for you.
• Take photos of any floodwater in your home or business and save any damaged personal property.
• Make a list of damaged or lost items, including their purchase date and value with receipts, and place with the inventory you took prior to the flood. Some damaged items may require disposal, so keep photographs of these items.
• Prevent mold by removing wet content immediately.
• Wear gloves and boots to clean and disinfect. Wet items should be cleaned with a pine-oil cleanser and bleach, completely dried, and monitored for several days for any fungal growth and odors.
