[quote=Anonymous]Take pictures and call your agent, if you are going to make a flood claim on your insurance. (Do you have flood insurance? Most people don't.) Get a pump or shop-vac to take out any water. Pull out the carpet and throw it away. Pull out anything that is wet and dry it or throw it away, including fixtures. Pull out any wet drywall and throw it away. Check your furnace and water pump to see if it's sitting in water. Open the doors and windows to dry it out, but don't use any fans. Fans will push air with mold and bacteria into the rest of the house. If you have access to a HEPA filter or HEPA vac, use that. Wash the remaining concrete down with biocide. Wear a HEPA mask, gloves and boots when you do it. [/quote]
