Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about flood damage restoration

What should I do immediately after my property floods?

Your first priority is safety. Ensure all occupants are safe and evacuate if necessary. Turn off electricity and gas supplies if it's safe to do so. Avoid contact with flood water, which may contain contaminants or sewage. Document the damage with photos and videos for insurance purposes. Then contact Swift's 24/7 emergency line for immediate assistance. Our specialists will guide you on immediate actions and dispatch a response team. While waiting, try to remove valuable items from affected areas if it's safe, but avoid entering deeply flooded areas or attempting major water removal yourself.

How long does the flood restoration process typically take?

The timeline varies significantly depending on the flood's severity, affected materials, and building size. Initial water extraction typically takes 1-3 days. The drying phase usually requires 3-7 days, though this can extend to 2+ weeks for severe flooding. Sanitization and decontamination add 1-2 days. If significant repairs or reconstruction are needed, this phase may take several weeks. Throughout the process, Swift uses advanced moisture monitoring equipment to track progress and ensure thorough drying before repairs begin. We provide regular timeline updates and work efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring comprehensive restoration.

What health risks are associated with flood damage?

Flood water, particularly from external flooding or sewage backups, often contains harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, and chemical contaminants that pose serious health risks. Within 24-48 hours of flooding, mold begins to develop, releasing spores that can cause respiratory issues and allergic reactions. Dampness creates ideal conditions for dust mites and other allergens. Standing water may attract insects that carry diseases. Structural damage can create physical hazards and electrical systems may be compromised. Swift's restoration process includes thorough sanitization and antimicrobial treatments to neutralize these health threats and create a safe environment.

Can my belongings be saved after flood damage?

Many items can be restored after flooding with proper techniques. Restoration success depends on several factors: the water type (clean, gray, or black), how quickly restoration begins, material composition, and saturation duration. Swift employs specialized content restoration processes including controlled drying environments, ultrasonic cleaning, antimicrobial treatments, document freeze-drying, and electronics restoration. Porous items affected by contaminated water often need evaluation for safety. We create detailed inventories of salvageable and non-salvageable items for insurance purposes, and can arrange pack-out services to transport items to our specialized restoration facilities when necessary.

How can I prevent future flood damage to my property?

Several measures can reduce flood risk. For external flooding, consider installing flood barriers, backflow prevention valves, and improving landscape grading to direct water away from foundations. Elevate critical utilities and consider waterproof wall treatments for basements. For internal flooding, regular maintenance of plumbing systems, water heaters, and appliances is essential. Install water detection systems that provide early warning of leaks. Swift offers professional property assessments to identify vulnerable areas and recommend specific preventative measures for your property. We can also suggest appropriate emergency response plans to minimize damage if flooding does occur despite preventative efforts.
