After flood damage, and before any repairs begin, these are the areas of a property most likely to have been affected:
  • The exterior water line and the path water took onto the property.
  • Flooring, drywall, and contents for saturation and contamination.
  • Mechanical and electrical systems exposed to standing water.
See the first-24-hours guide for what to do before and while documenting this damage, and how reported flood measurements translate to property damage.
