Flood damage restoration deals with water that came from outside: heavy rain running under doors, a yard that drains toward the house, or a creek that left its banks. Edmond sits in the Deer Creek, Spring Creek, Chisholm Creek and Coffee Creek drainages, and homes near these creeks and their floodplains see the most risk during spring storms.
Outside flood water is treated as Category 3 because it carries soil, sewage and chemicals. Carpet, pad, insulation and drywall it touched are removed, not dried. Hard surfaces and framing are cleaned and disinfected before drying starts.
On a slab home, flood water usually soaks the bottom 1 to 2 feet of walls. The restoration crew cuts drywall above the wet line, pulls insulation from outside walls, and runs dehumidifiers until the studs and slab read dry.
Flood damage from outside water is usually not covered by a standard homeowners policy. It is covered by a separate flood policy, such as one through the National Flood Insurance Program, which normally has a 30-day wait before coverage starts. Check your FEMA flood zone before storm season.
