6 steps to follow after basement flooding and water damage

Whether you are planning to file an insurance claim or not, quickly get out your phone and take photos and video of the flooded area, both inside and outside, before you start cleaning up. According to FEMA, if you do file a claim, this information could help the adjuster assess your payment. After you have photographed everything, begin tossing items that could attract mold, such as clothing, bedding or pillows, cardboard, paper bags and any perishable food.
