Floods are considered one of the most common natural disasters in our country today. They also take the prize as one of the highest ranked causes of significant property damage.<\/p>\n

Often, landowners think the best way to tackle a flood-damaged property is by trying to come up with a full reparation plan\u2013 but that could take weeks. Acting quickly will prevent additional damage and help maintain your property\u2019s health. Whatever your plans\u00a0for your property include, taking these 5 basic steps will help you get it back on track and ready for future use.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Evaluate Your Property<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    First things first. Take a walk around your property to assess damages caused by flooding. If you aren\u2019t able to access parts of it, using a drone and flying it over your property to take a look can be a big help. Check for things such as downed or exposed power lines, plugged drains and any large holes or gullies. Remember to always address safety concerns first.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Drain the Water<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      After you\u2019ve fully inspected your property, you\u2019ll need to remove or drain the water that is still lingering. It\u2019s best to let your property drain naturally. But this can sometimes take anywhere from a couple days to several weeks. If you have a lot of water sitting on your land, consider digging \u201ctunnels\u201d or channels through which the water can travel out from and recede.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Do Some Clean-Up<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Once all the water is gone, it\u2019s time to remove any large debris that was carried onto your property. Removing all the water before clean-up will let you see any extra debris that might\u2019ve been hanging out in there. Just like too many leaves on your lawn can prevent the grass underneath to get the adequate air and nutrients, washed-up brush or trash can negatively affect the soil on your land.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Fix Your Soil<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          One of the main problems of flooding is the detrimental effects it has on the soil. Flooding can completely change your soil\u2019s make-up which can lead to something called flooded soil syndrome<\/a>. This condition happens when soil loses beneficial fungi that give plants the nutrients they need. Rebuild your soil by adding back those essential nutrients into your land\u00a0with fertilizers such as compost and manure.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Take Preventative Measures<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            While you can\u2019t predict when a natural disaster will hit, you can take steps to prevent catastrophic damage to your property. There are many different things you can do to reduce a flood\u2019s impact on your land, but one of the easiest things is to preserve the trees on your property<\/a>. A tree\u2019s leaves are great shock absorbers when it comes to heavy rainfall and can significantly help in safeguarding your soil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
