Free homeowner checklist

I got flooded: homeowner checklist

What to do, in order. Print it or keep it on your phone.

Right now: stay safe

  1. Stay out of standing flood water and treat it as contaminated. It can carry sewage, chemicals and debris.
  2. If water is near outlets, cords, appliances or the electrical panel, don't touch them. Have the power shut off by your power company or a licensed electrician.
  3. Watch for snakes, fire ants and other wildlife pushed out by the water.
  4. Wear rubber boots and gloves when you go in.
  5. Follow Brevard County Emergency Management and the National Weather Service in Melbourne for updates and road closures. The county's page also has a form to report flood damage to your home.

First 24–48 hours: document and protect

  1. Photograph and video every room and every damaged item before anything is moved or thrown out, including the water line on the walls.
  2. Write down how high the water got in each room.
  3. Report your claim to your insurance company and write down the claim number.
  4. Keep receipts for everything you pay for because of the flood: pumps, fans, supplies, a hotel.
  5. Save a piece of the wet carpet or flooring if your insurance company asks for one.
  6. Don't throw out damaged belongings until they're photographed and listed.
  7. Start drying right away: open windows when it's dry outside, and run fans and dehumidifiers.

Getting the water out and drying

  1. Remove standing water with a pump or wet vac.
  2. Pull up wet rugs, carpet and carpet pad.
  3. Move furniture out of wet rooms, or up onto blocks.
  4. Wet drywall and insulation usually have to be cut out above the water line (a “flood cut”).
  5. Dry the house fast, and get moisture readings before any wall is closed back up.

Before you hire anyone

  1. Check the contractor's license on the Florida DBPR Verify a License site.
  2. Get a written, itemized estimate before work starts.
  3. Don't pay a large amount up front. Get what's due, and when, in writing.
  4. Be careful with door-to-door “storm chasers”. Ask for a license number and check it.
  5. Price gouging is illegal during a declared state of emergency. Report it to the Florida Attorney General at 1-866-9NO-SCAM or MyFloridaLegal.com.

Help that may be available

  1. If a federal disaster is declared for Brevard County, FEMA help and SBA disaster loans may be available. Check DisasterAssistance.gov.
  2. Flood insurance claims, including NFIP flood insurance, go through your insurance company. FloodSmart.gov explains the steps.
