SAN DIEGO HOMES FLOODED WHEN MAN CRASHES INTO HYDRANT

Two San Diego homeowners have found out that flood damage to a home is not dependent upon a storm. Their houses were damaged when a 20-year-old man crashed his truck into a nearby fire hydrant, causing a geyser that flooded one of the homes in early August.
THE AFTERMATH

With the geyser spewing into the air after the 1:30 a.m. accident, huge amounts of water fell into the backyards of the two homeowners. The water triggered a small landslide in one backyard and eventually flooded the kitchen and living room.

What stings is that the kitchen had been remodeled just six months before the accident.

 Thankfully, crew members with the Poway Fire Department were able to shut off the water within about a half-hour.

As we go to press with this article, a financial estimate of the damage to the two properties has yet to be confirmed.

IF THIS HAPPENS TO YOU, CALL A PROFESSIONAL RESTORATION PROFESSIONAL

Regardless of how large or small you think the water damage may actually be, it can lead to property damage and health risks it is left untreated.

Incomplete drying and novice techniques by unqualified professionals can potentially cause even great damage to your home and its structure.

THINGS NOT TO DO IF YOUR HOUSE IS FLOODED

There are a number of things that you should definitely refrain from if your house is flooded.
  1. Do not turn on electrical appliances that have been in contact with flood water.
  2. Don’t give into temptation to salvage damaged food because they may have been contaminated with sewage in the flood water.
  3. Don’t let youngsters play on affected areas until they’ve been cleaned or restored to their normal condition.

THINGS TO DO IF YOUR HOUSE IS FLOODED

While you’re waiting for professionals to arrive, you can get a head start on the recovery process by:
  • Contacting your insurance provider and compiling an inventory list of all damaged goods
  • Taking photos or videos of the damage
  • Placing contaminated food that’s been damaged by the flooding into black plastic garbage bags and place them outside for garbage pickup

J&M KEYSTONE, INC.: THE HOME RESTORATION PROFESSIONALS OF CHOICE IN SAN DIEGO

We feel for the two homeowners affected by the accident described above. Being woken at 1:30 am to find your home flooding is definitely a stunner.
