It is a simple matter of physics. Water wants to move downward, and basements give it a place to go. Basement flooding can occur due to extreme weather, burst pipes, or backed-up drains. It is impossible to predict or entirely prevent basement flooding, but by learning about common outcomes, you’ll suffer less damage.

Here are five common lessons homeowners have learned after water invaded their basement.

Mould growth or structural damage to the property, depending on how much water was involved and how soon it was removed, are just a couple of the most common difficulties that homeowners face. The presence of mould could cause serious health risks including a host of respiratory ailments like asthma or allergic reactions to the mould spores, which can grow just about everywhere. And, depending on the area’s humidity levels, mould can appear in as little as 24 to 48 hours.

Black water is extremely unsanitary and poses a high risk for a variety of health problems resulting from coming in contact with bacterium or fungi present in the dirty water. Sources of black water would include raw sewage, water from flooded streams and rivers and ground, surface, or standing water.

Did you know that as soon as you call your insurance company about a water damage issue in your home a claim may be opened and recorded? Even if you are calling to find out if the damage is covered, if the insurance company opens a claim, the claim will appear as part of your claim history even if the insurance company is not involved in the repairs. Once again, your claims history is considered by future insurance companies, so be careful about calling the insurance company directly. Instead, call your insurance agent or obtain estimates from contractors before filing the claim.

Some states have introduced legislation prohibiting insurance companies from using certain types of claims, such as weather events, to base insurance ratings upon or impose surcharges on the policy. Each state has its own insurance laws, so make sure to browse your state’s insurance department’s Web site before submitting, or not submitting, a water damage claim. For example, if your roof needs to be replaced after a windstorm, the resulting claim might not result in a premium increase depending on your state’s insurance laws.

Acting as quickly as possible is your best chance of safeguarding your home and its contents from the ill effects of water damage. The use of dehumidifiers and fans placed in strategic locations along with removing anything that’s wet and opening all doors and windows will help to speed up the drying process. Also, speaking with your insurance company or claims adjustor right away to determine what is covered, whilst also getting them as involved as possible in the claims process, will also maximise the potential for being amply compensated

Flood Insurance

The clock goes off and you climb out of bed, another routine day. You make the coffee and walk into the bathroom to take a quick shower before work. You turn on the hot water and you wait a second for it to get hot but it doesn’t.

Excess flood insurance is coverage for above and beyond the NFIP maximum set amounts. When you purchase primary insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program, you will be insured for a maximum of $250,000 for your home, $100,000 for the contents, and $500,000 for businesses.

While this amount is typically adequate for modular homes and single-story houses, larger homes could be far more expensive. With these more expensive homes, $250,000 might make a large dent in the cost to cover minor flood damage, but in the event of severe damage or total loss, homeowners could be paying quite a bit out of pocket. This is why getting more insurance is important.

You simply presumed that you had coverage, you never asked, and you never studied your contract. The fact is that any type of dwelling insurance such as homeowners, renters, condo, etc. not only doesn’t cover floods but they reject them entirely.

If you want flood insurance there are a few things you should be familiar with. For starters, you will buy an entirely separate policy for floods.

You can learn these from your insurance company as well as the National Flood Insurance Program which mitigates your state to assist you just in case the disaster does happen in when you are living.

Another thing you should remember is to not be overwhelmed when you are inquiring about flood insurance. If you want to get cheap flood insurance, then you can compare one insurance policy to the other. You can do this by visiting their websites and also talking to the insurance agents
