CORRECTIVE AND PREVENTIVE STEPS
The first step you have to take in case of an unexpected house flooding is to find the exact source of the water that is causing the flooding. If it is visible to you, try to stop it or at least make the flow as slow as possible by taking corrective and preventive steps.
Most of the times this may not be possible for you. In that case, you have to call in your plumbing emergency service provider and explain the situation of flooding in the house, then ask him for immediate action.
You have to find and close the house water inlet valve and in case you are not able to do so, contact your utility service provider and they will be able to temporarily stop it.
WHAT TO DO WITH ELECTRICAL DURING A PLUMBING EMERGENCY?
Next step would be to turn off the electricity supply in your house. This is necessary to prevent loss or damage to your costly electrical equipment. Shut off the incoming electrical power from your utility company’s terminal box. You must be careful if the water has flooded up to the terminal box or it is wet and you have to wade through the flooded area to reach the fuse box.
If you are not able to do this, your plumbing emergency personnel will be able to do it in a safe and secure way and if necessary you have to call your electrician also.
WHEN A BURST PIPE OR A LEAKING SEWER.
This could be the reason for your flooding in the house. Evacuate your house as soon as possible and move kids, pets and other family members away from the flooded area. Settle them at a dry and safe place till the flooding in the house is set right by your emergency plumbing serviceman.
DOCUMENT EVERYTHING WHEN IT COMES TO ANY DAMAGE, INCLUDING PLUMBING.
Document the flooding in the house: Next step you have to do is to create the required documentation by way of preparing the necessary reports, taking the required photographs and video footage to establish the fact and extent of flooding in the house.
This will help your insurance company to process your claim in an easy and effective manner.
CLEAN UP OF FLOODING IN THE HOUSE.
Next step is to start the cleaning up process and most of the times it is the work of professional persons and your emergency plumbing service provider will be able to do it himself or help you in finding the right service providers to effectively do the cleaning process and bring back your home to normalcy within a short time.
Thus, always call your emergency plumbing service to help you handle the flooding in the house. Restore your house to a fit stage as it was before it was flooded by doing the right thing at the right time.
