When floods reach houses, quick action is required. The Association of Private Builders (VPB) points this out. Water in the basement should be removed immediately to prevent costly damage such as mold growth. According to the VPB, mold growth is particularly common in buildings with thermally insulated basements. Quick draining is essential to prevent long-term damage.
According to VPB, homeowners should check their insurance documents after flood damage. Natural hazard insurance generally covers flood damage. For a precise assessment of the damage and determination of the necessary measures, the expertise of an expert is essential.
Caution is advised when renovating. Local specialist companies should be preferred as, according to the VPB, traveling teams of craftsmen who turn up after floods are often insufficiently qualified. Independent experts not only accompany the professional renovation, but also help with the planning for long-term protection of the property against flood damage.source: Verband Privater Bauherren
