Do It Yourself - Flood Damage Home Repair

Last Updated 7/30/2026Posted in Chamber News


Drying Everything Out

Use caution when removing standing water from your home. If the water is several feet deep, removing water too quickly may make the walls and floor crack and collapse, causing structural damage. 

Before refinishing and replacing walls and flooring, everything in the home needs to be completely dry to prevent future mold growth and to prevent materials from losing their structural integrity. 

The EPA has a library of DIY videos to assist you with safe home repairs following flooding.    Check this link to access the videos   Doing it Yourself | US EPA
