Then call your insurance company (or landlord) and be sure to document everything regarding the incident.


The hidden dangers in a flooded home.

Beyond the heartbreak of lost or destroyed personal items there lurks great danger. Mold! All standing water if left for 48 hours or more will become mold and you may not even see it when it propagates behind walls or in other dark, damp, places in your home. Toxic black mold can bring you a world of pain and its long-term effects can and usually will devastate your health.


Mold in the home is a huge danger with a toxicity level far above anything you would ever venture into of your own volition. But this is your home and it has always offered a protective, comfortable, and safe haven and when transferring from safe and dry to flooded and toxic, the mind may have some degree of difficulty processing the situation.


That is where Restoration 1 Rockville comes in. Their friendly service technicians will get to you quickly when you call and get you and your family to safety before they begin the pumping, the drying, and the sanitizing procedures that have made them the neighborhood professionals for many years. 


If you live in an area that might be prone to flooding, you should call Restoration 1 today for a home inspection and to seek guidance in the event that your home does eventually get flooded.


Knowing what to anticipate and and being ready for it as well as knowing how to proceed when your home floods is a good idea. Understanding what will happen when flood waters suddenly bring massive amounts of water right into your home is something can really help you deal with it when it happens to you and your family.
