Flood Doctor has a unique “Healthy Home” perspective. It simply means that with all the latest advancements, the homeowner can’t return to the home with confidence unless the contractor has considered the healthy aspects of the cleanup, or renovation.
cleaning carpets properly to eliminate long-term effects from flooding
whether toxins entered the house, or room
ventilation
has the cause of the flood been eliminated, or just mitigated
was this a one-time event, or could the home have repeated flooding
will the renovation cause dust that could be avoided by drying out wood and drywall
is there an asthma sufferer in the house
The sad truth is that sewage clean-up needs to be treated differently than a washing machine hose breaking. Storm damage has one set of challenges, mold remediation another.
The “Healthy Home” concept is something we pioneered because this isn’t just a structure or job site. This is your home! You have to live in it confidently long after we leave, although Flood Doctor is always in the area, because Virginia is our home and we cover it all.
WATER DAMAGE SAFETY TIPS
While waiting for Flood Doctor follow these tips to minimize your damage:
Shut off water source if possible
Remove water by mopping and blotting the saturated area
Wipe furniture to remove excess water
Place aluminum foil between legs and wet carpet
Prop up wet furniture cushions for even drying
Lift drapes off flooring, loop through a coat hanger and hang on curtain rod
Remove wet area rugs
Turn on air conditioner if damage occurs in summer
Move valuable paintings, art objects and photos to a safe, dry place
Remove damp books from shelves and lay them out to dry
Open closet doors, furniture drawers and luggage to aid in drying
Remove any wet fabrics and dry immediately
Hang furs and leather goods to dry separately at room temperature
However, make sure you DO NOT:
Use your household vacuum to remove the excess water
Use electrical appliances while standing on wet flooring or carpets
Go into any room with standing water if the electricity is on
Lift tacked down carpet without professional help as this could cause damage and shrinkage
Go into any room where the ceiling is sagging
Wait to call for professional help. The longer you wait the more damage will occur

Fast response! Had a minor water damage situation at my condo over the weekend. Googled restoration companies and found Flood Doctor. They came out, removed water and left equipment to dry the place. Would use again!
