Flood Damage FAQS

If you live in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, you can determine your flood damage risk by calling the Dallas Office of Emergency Preparedness or the Dallas Flood Plain Management Office. You may want to request the projected flood map of your neighborhood, along with the forecasted flood elevation information for your community.

The height of the electric panel board in your DFW metroplex home is regulated by a building code and must be a minimum of a foot above a potential flood elevation for your home or business. If not, call a licensed electrician or a licensed flood damage contractor to elevate all your electric outlets and wiring at least a foot above potential flood damage elevation for your home.

Your water heater, washer and dryer should be at least a foot above projected flood damage elevation. If they are not, contact the professional flood damage experts at Dalworth Restoration to make sure any potential flood cleanup work is in compliance with the city building codes in Dallas and Fort Worth.

Installing a floating floor drain plug would help a flood damaged home in Dallas when the drain pipe backs up. In case of flood water entering your sewage system and causing sewage to back up into your home, it is best to install a backflow valve. Check with your flood damage contractors for permit restrictions.

If you live in a floodplain or a flood prone area, it is not enough to take care of the above flood damage options. Those options may minimize the flood damage to your home, but since homeowners' insurance policies do not cover flood damage clean up and flood damage repair, you should consider buying a separate flood damage insurance policy under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Make sure to purchase the flood damage insurance policy at least at least a month before any flood occurs, as the policy is not in effect until 30 days after purchase.

Flood damage in buildings occurs from natural disasters, leaky or burst pipes, faulty water heaters, overflowing toilets, leaky roofs, and more. Flood water damage will weaken or damage your carpets, floors, ceilings, and walls. The longer you wait to contact a restoration company, the more chance there is for flood related structural damage and mold damage to your home or business. Contact Dalworth Restoration in the event of any water damage to your property.
