🌧 Spring Storm Preparedness: How to Protect Your Home from Flooding

Day 4: After the Storm – What to Do If Flooding Happens

Sometimes, even with the best prep, water gets in. The good news is: acting fast can limit the damage and save you money. Here's what to do if your home experiences water intrusion:

✅ Post-Storm Checklist:

  1. Stay Safe
    Turn off electricity if water is near outlets or appliances.
    Avoid standing water—it could be contaminated or electrically charged.
  2. Document the Damage
    Take photos of affected areas for insurance claims.
  3. Remove Wet Items
    Move furniture, rugs, and valuables to dry areas ASAP.
    ➤ Don’t throw them away—your insurance may want to inspect them.
  4. Begin Drying Immediately
    Open windows, use fans and dehumidifiers. Time is crucial—mold can start within 24–48 hours.
  5. Call Champion Restoration
