Can You Avoid Flood Damage?

Do you look for ways to protect your home from flooding and from flood damage? You can do many things about the flood damage depending on the flood hazard in your area or place, the characteristics of your own property, and the zoning and building codes in your community. There are some methods that are fairly simple and inexpensive while others will simply require a professional contractor you can hire for your flood damage problems.

The following are some of your homeowner’s checklists that will help you become familiar with what you can do when flood strikes. With regards to the costs and benefits of each method, you can talk to your professional builder, your architect or your contractor. You also should ask your building department or a building administrator about your building permit requirements.

Flood risk when flood damage occur

You can call the local emergency management office in your area, your building department or floodplain management office for information about flooding. You can ask to see a flood map of your community to check for flood damage history. There might be a projected flood elevation for your neighborhood or in your area or community because of recent flood damage .For this kind of information, a flood history in your community or area will help you determine how much water is likely to come in when flood occurs and when flood damage strikes as well.

Have you got enough flood insurance against flood damage

Even though you have taken some steps in order to protect your home from flooding and flood damage, you still need flood insurance if you are living in a floodplain area or community where flood damage most often occurs. However your homeowners’ policies do not cover flood damage, so you might probably need to purchase a separate policy under your National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). It would take 30 days for a flood policy to take effect. This is why you need to purchase flood insurance before flooding occurs.

Is the main electric switchbox located in your home potential for flood waters and flood damage?

Your main electric panel board (that is, electric fuses or circuit breakers) should be at least 12 inches above your projected flood elevation for your home against flood damage. Your panel board height is regulated by a code that says all your electrical work should be done by your licensed electrician.

Are your electric outlets and your switches located above are potential to flood waters?

You must consider elevating all your electric outlets, your switches, your light sockets, your baseboard heaters and all wiring at least 12 inches above your projected flood elevation for your home, as stated in the code. You could also want to elevate your electric service lines (that is at the point they enter your house) at least 12” above your projected flood elevation.

If your area could get easily wet, connect all your receptacles to a ground fault interrupter (GFI) circuit to avoid the risk of shock or being electrocuted. Call a licensed electrician to do your electrical wiring.
