Whether you have homeowners or renters insurance, it’s important to understand what your insurance does, and does not cover. Oftentimes there’s a fine line dividing the two. The big difference between homeowners and renters insurance, is that homeowners insurance covers the actual building you live in (and associated structures such as garages). Where renter's insurance, the owner will be expected to have coverage on the building, while your insurance will cover your personal property. One of the most common, and costly types of insurance claims by homeowners, is water damage. This includes damage caused by hard freezes. However, generally, water damage that is considered deferred maintenance like a leaking bathroom sink, isn’t covered, but water damage that is considered “sudden and accidental” is covered (like a burst pipe). State Farm states it in their website "no two claims are exactly alike", so make sure to ask questions.
1. PUT SAFETY FIRST
If your basement is flooded, before you enter it, make sure to put safety first. A flooded basement has the ability to pose an electrical hazard to you and your family members, so if possible, turn off the circuit breakers to your basement, or contact an electrician to help you assess whether it’s safe to enter the basement for water removal or not. Any electronics, including a furnace, boiler, and/or hot water heater that are in contact with floodwater are unsafe! If you smell gas, or your carbon monoxide alarm goes off, immediately call 9-1-1 or Mid American Energy
2. Throughout the entire process, including the removal of water, and afterward, document the process of the flooding and damage through photos so that you are able to submit them to your insurance company Maxx Restoration can assist you with your documentation as needed. Learn more about the Insurance Claims.
3. Once it is safe to enter the area, you will want to remove important items, such as upholstered furniture, or items in boxes that are standing in water and bring them to a dry area.
Be careful!! If water has been standing for too long, it can soon become dangerous to enter as mold and bacteria may begin to grow and the water removal process may require additional assistance by professionals.
4. Once you have cleared any important items, it is time to start the water removal process also known as water extraction. Sometimes this is a small task, however sometimes it can be quite overwhelming, say for example your basement is flooded, and you have a sump pump, then it has obviously failed or the flooding is too much for it to handle. A pump won’t remove all the water from your basement, so a vacuum unit may be necessary to get the most extraction. Then use a mop and towels to clean up the rest.
If you have high levels of water, we recommend calling the Des Moines Fire Department at (515) 283-4237 for public assistance.
It is important that you remove water as quickly as possible, as a damp environment gives mold the chance to grow, which could compound property damage costs.
KEEP IN MIND... If you are running a generator due to a power outage, it is important to ensure that the generators run outside only.
5. Once you have removed the water, your home will not dry on its own. To assist in the drying process, use fans or industrial blowers, as well as dehumidifiers and dry mops to help remove any excess water and minimize the chance of mold.
6. Use soap and warm water to thoroughly clean all walls that came in contact with water. Along with your dehumidifier and blowers, HEPA air purifiers help filter out mold spores and allergens.
You should check this area every day, and keep an eye out for mold. If you see a suspicious-looking spot, clean the area with bleach and warm water. you will want to call in a professional like Maxx Restoration as they are trained in cleaning, sanitizing, and deodorizing this type of damage.
