The Cost of Flood Damage

4/28/2022 (Permalink)

The International Code Council states that flooding is both the most common natural disaster in the United States and just one inch of water can cause catastrophic damage to homes and business. 

FEMA has an interactive tool that can help you visualize and see the cost of flood damage in your home. 

At SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties, we regularly services homes and businesses that are affected by floodwater. It is critical to make sure you have a type of flood coverage on your insurance policy to help offset that dramatic costs you may see in a water damage situation caused by rainwater and floods. Talk with your local agent about adding that coverage, otherwise you would have to pay for the mitigation and expenses to rebuild/remodel out of your own pocket. 

Despite your insurance coverage, it is important to have the professionals at SERVPRO of Cape Girardeau & Scott Counties come in a mitigate the situation instead of trying to handle it yourself. Our protocols and knowledge help prevent future mold situations and also ensure the proper level of sanitization of the situation so that your home or business is not left with harmful bacteria and contents from the water.

We are available 24/7/365 to service your flood emergencies. Don't hesitate to call us at 573-339-1948.
