In case of an emergency, such as hurricane Harvey in 2017, what do you do?First thing's first, be safe. Turn off the electric and gas to the house before you go inside. Also, put on a mask, gloves, rubber boots, and clothes you don't care about. Flood water is often mixed with sewage, so keep that in mind.Second, take photos of everything. You want to keep a record of all the damage. Next, remove everything that has been damaged by the water. To be safe, start about a foot above the damage. You want to get rid of carpet and rugs, the drywall, and the sheetrock. If your trim is wood, you may be able to salvage it, so take care when you remove the trim. Also, look for anything else you might be able to salvage, such as door jambs and doorknobs.After removing the damaged materials, it's time to clean. Sweep out the house, or even hose it down, and then clean with anti-bacterial products. Wear your mask and gloves when you're cleaning because you'll be using very harsh chemicals. Fourth, begin the drying process.Finally, verify everything is dry. You want to make sure any wood in the house is below 16% saturated. To do this you can use a moisture detector to determine the moisture level. The key to drying is airflow, so open the windows and get as many fans going as you can. If you have to keep the windows shut, a dehumidifier can help keep the humidity at bay.Watch the full video to see the step-by-step process for cleaning up after a flood.
