Here are a few tips for owners if their property is flooded:
Call your insurance agent to file a claim. An adjuster will review the damage and submit an estimate to the insurance company for approval.
Whether you have flood insurance or not, hire a water remediation company to dry out the home or business, which can help stop mold from growing and causing more damage.
If a federal emergency has been declared, property owners may be eligible to receive relief funds from Federal Emergency Management Agency, which can be especially beneficial to those without flood insurance. www.elchomes.com
