Flood Damage Inspections – What Residents Can Expect

As floodwaters begin to recede and it is safe to do so, the Town will be sending inspectors out to areas affected by the recent flooding over the next several days.
Our inspectors will be visiting impacted neighborhoods and properties to get a better understanding of the damage caused by the flooding. They will be looking at affected structures, documenting visible damage, and helping determine the extent of the impacts throughout the community.

Why are these inspections important?

These inspections serve several important purposes. First and foremost, they help us identify potential safety concerns and determine whether buildings may have sustained damage that needs further attention. They also help the Town document the overall impacts of the flooding and determine whether additional steps or assistance may be needed as our community begins the recovery process.

The inspections are also important for property owners when it comes to insurance and rebuilding. Having damage documented following a flood can help support insurance claims and establish a record of the damage. In addition, the Town will need to make certain flood damage assessments to comply with FEMA and National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) requirements. Depending on the extent of the damage, some properties may need additional review before repairs or reconstruction can move forward.

What should residents expect?

Town inspectors will be working throughout the affected areas as conditions allow. Please understand that inspections will take time, and crews will work through the impacted areas as it becomes safe to access them.

If an inspector visits your property, they may take photographs and document visible damage. Please don't be alarmed if you see Town staff in your neighborhood. Their purpose is to help assess the damage, document conditions, and assist with the community's recovery.

We appreciate everyone's patience as we work through this process. Our priority is the safety of our residents and helping our community recover as quickly and safely as possible.

After a Flood

Flooding is terrifying, and even after the immediate threat has passed, the conditions created by a flood can be dangerous and stressful to navigate. After a flood, you may be overwhelmed with concerns about how to ensure your safety, as well as the safety of your home and car. And there’s pressure to move fast, because the actions you take in the 24 hours following a flood can make all the difference. Here are some practical steps to follow immediately after a flood.

  • If you evacuated, return to your home only after local authorities have said it is safe to do so.
  • Avoid driving through flooded areas and standing water. As little as six inches of water can cause you to lose control of your vehicle.
  • Avoid wading in floodwater, which can be contaminated and contain dangerous debris. Underground or downed power lines can also electrically charge the water.
  • Upon entering the building, do not use matches, cigarette lighters or any other open flames, since gas may be trapped inside. Instead, use a flashlight to light your way. 
  • Be aware of the risk of electrocution in your home. Do not touch electrical equipment if it is wet or if you are standing in water. Turn off the electricity to prevent electric shock if it is safe to do so.
  • Do not drink flood water, or use it to wash dishes, brush teeth, or wash/prepare food. Drink clean, safe water.
  • Listen for boil water advisories. Local authorities will let you know if your water is safe for drinking and bathing.
  • During a water advisory, use only bottled, boiled, or treated water for drinking, cooking, etc.
  • When in doubt, throw it out! Throw away any food and bottled water that comes/may have come into contact with floodwater.
  • See  Practice safe cleaning. Remove and throw out drywall and insulation that was contaminated with floodwater or sewage. Throw out items that cannot be washed and cleaned with a bleach solution: mattresses, pillows, carpeting, carpet padding, and stuffed toys.
  • Save samples or swatches of carpeting, wallpaper, furniture upholstery, window treatments and other items where the type and quality of material may impact the amount payable on your insurance claims.
  • Wear heavy work gloves, protective clothing and boots during clean up and use appropriate face coverings or masks if cleaning mold or other debris. 
  • People with asthma and other lung conditions and/or immune suppression should not enter buildings with indoor water leaks or mold growth that can be seen or smelled. Children should not take part in disaster cleanup work.
  • You may need a permit before starting repairs on your home. Contact your local city or County offices. 
  • Be aware that snakes and other animals may be in your house.
  • Prevent carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Use generators or other gasoline-powered machinery outdoors at least 20 feet from any doors, windows, or vents. If you use a pressure washer, be sure to keep the engine outdoors and 20 feet from windows, doors, or vents as well. Never run your car or truck inside a garage that is attached to a house even with the garage door open.
  • The initial damage caused by a flood is not the only risk. Standing floodwater can also spread infectious diseases, bring chemical hazards, and cause injuries.
