Flood Demo - Hurricane Harvey
What you need to know...
If you have Flood Insurance ALL Demo will be covered by your policy however there are some things you can begin yourself if you feel comfortable. Always get at least 2 quotes before you hire a company!!! If you can hire the same company for Demo and Repairs it will make working with the insurance company much easier.

1. Move all furniture and appliances that have been water logged outside. (Some furniture may be salvageable depending on degree of flooding and the material)
2. Remove all carpet and padding, wood flooring, linoleum/vinyl flooring. Tile can remain.
3. If there is any remaining water use a wet vac to remove it as well.
4. Depending on the amount of damage sheet rock removal is usually completed in 24 inch increments. Unless you feel very comfortable completing this step yourself, this is best left to a remodeling/demo company with experience.
5. Once the water and damaged contents (personal items and porous building materials like drywall, carpeting, padding, paneling, etc.) are removed, clean up the affected remaining areas, floors and walls with a good disinfectant such as Lysol. Once everything’s cleaned up, you can then disinfect everything a final time.
7. Now you need to get as many fans as possible, open the windows and let everything dry out as much as possible. This can take a week to two weeks depending on how much water was in your home. But it's very important to get everything as dry as possible before you begin rebuilding to prevent the threat of mold in the future.
