When you have a flood, water will get in your house and do so much damage that everything inside will be no good or it will be gone. It will do the damage to the inside and outside of your home. It will ruin the walls, floors, counters, foundation, and roof. It will make it very dangerous to be inside after it's done, and it can tear your whole house down and everything you have will be gone. You need to have insurance for this if it happens. You never know when a big flood is coming. They can tell you on the weather but you won't know how big it is, and you will never really think that it will take your house from you. You never would think that water would do so much to your property or how bad the water damage would be until it is all said and done.

Water damage from a flood can cost you a lot of money just to repair. You will have to replace everything, and you might as well just tear it down and build another home because it will not be safe.

We have had more floods and water damage in the past few years than we have had in a long time and more can come. It takes a long time to repair your home because of all the water damage that is caused by the floods. People will have to move in to hotels or with their family members until their homes are fixed. It can take millions to billions of dollars just to fix what the damage has done to areas that have been hit by floodwaters the hardest. Have you ever seen a house after a flood? It is not pretty. The water has soaked into the walls and the floor, damaging it and making it so weak that if someone steps on it, they could fall right though it and get hurt.

Water damage causes mold and rotting to everything it come into contact with. If it has set for a long time you can break the wood apart with your bare hands because it is rotted so bad. It can make your yard so bad that you can sink right into it. That means that due to the water in the ground, it can make your house sink, crack, and fall apart piece by piece until the whole thing falls in.
