Preparing for a flood is very important, but you should also prepare for handling the aftermath of the storm. Flood damage is a like a time bomb, and to prevent mold or structural damage you must do everything you can to quickly and concisely and as soon as possible. To help you learn how to handle this situation, we've put together this list of what to do after a household flood.
1. Do Not Re-Enter www.floodsupport.com After leaving the flooded home, do not re-enter until trained emergency workers tell you it is safe. Floodwaters can harm or damage the foundation of your home and make it an unsafe structure to reenter.
2. Take Caution When EatingDon't eat or drink anything that has been in contact with flood water. Flood water can and usually does contain unsanitary materials and residue which is not safe to ingest.
3. Remove Water BlockageIf you put sandbags or other blocks around your home to keep water out, remember they may also be holding water in after the flood. If the structure is safe, open windows, doors, and remove blocks to let some water out. Only approach or touch flood water or flooded areas in proper attire, (gloves, mask, boots, water proof jacket, goggles, etc).
4. Flood InsuranceIf you had flood insurance, don't move or touch anything until you've contacted them. This is because they must come and observe and assess the damage in it's original state. Also be sure not to throw out anything that should be checked by the insurance associates as well.
5. Take PicturesAs hard as it is, having thorough documentation of the flood is likely to come in handy. Go throughout the home and take pictures of any and all flood-damaged areas. Check ceilings, walls, and floors diligently to make sure you don't miss a thing.
6. Watch The Kids!It is imperative not to let children play or touch anything that floodwater has. Even if the floodwater resigns from an area, that area still has infectious bacteria that are dangerous to you and yours. Be sure to sit children down and thoroughly discuss and explain the dangers of floods, floodwater and the aftermath.
7. If You Must LeaveIf for any reason you need to leave your flood-damaged home (to go to a hotel, friends, or get something to eat) be sure to secure the house before you leave. Lock all windows and doors, and try to cover up and holes or unstable structure. Although it's regrettable, looters have been known to target flooded areas for undamaged materials in unsupervised homes.
8. Call A Professional 1-877-71-Flood www.floodsupport.com

Watching water rise to the top edge of a toilet bowl is disconcerting to say the least. But in most cases the water will stop running before overflowing. Many toilet bowls are designed in such a way that they will usually hold the entire contents of the tank without overflowing. However, that's not true for all toilets. If you have a toilet that overflows the rim when the bowl is clogged there are a few things you can do to minimize the problem and save some water. You can't just lower the water level in the tank; you need to displace some of the water in the tank instead while still maintaining the height of the water level at the mark on the back wall of the tank.

The Plumber

Take a plastic bottle and add an inch or so of marbles or gravel before you fill the jar with water and replace the cap; a square two or three liter olive oil jug works great for an old toilet. Flush the toilet a few times to determine whether or not the toilet still flushes waste away. If not, try a smaller bottle or jug. This should work IF the water level in the bowl was at its normal height before the toilet was flushed, and the ballcock and flapper are working properly and shut off when the tank is full.

Another step you can take is to adjust the amount of water that refills the bowl. The bowl is filled with the water that goes into the overflow pipe. The water runs as long as the ballcock is on and running. With a "Fill Cycle Diverter" you can adjust the amount of water going into the bowl and save some more water. This little diverter has four tubes so that you can cut the amount of water in half or three-forths. You need at least one tube going into the overflow pipe. The excess water will go into the tank and the tank will fill faster.
There is nothing precise about the above adjustments; trial and error is the name of the game.
Unfortunately, when a toilet bowl is clogged and the water level rises and doesn't flush the contents away, some people are too hasty and will flush the toilet again hoping the additional water will 'push' the contents of the bowl down. This only causes a toilet bowl to overflow. SO, warn all members of your household, that when the water level in a toilet bowl is higher than normal - DO NOT FLUSH IT AGAIN. You must wait until the water level drops to normal. If it doesn't drop to normal, then you need to find out what is blocking the bowl. But under no circumstances should you flush again.
An overflowing toilet bowl can result in widespread and rather serious consequences. For example, not long ago, the McPherson Square Metro Station in Washington, D.C. lost power for much of the morning after a toilet overflowed in the nearby Lafayette Building, flooding a pair of Potomac Electric Power Co. feeder boxes that provide service to the subway stop, the building above and the U.S. Treasury Annex, according to the Potomac Edison Power Company spokeswoman. (The Washington Post, Thursday, November 26, 1998; Page D03)
While an overflowing toilet bowl can cause a lot of damage, it is not a reason to call 911. You Call 1-877-713-5663 Cb. Restoration Nationwide Company For Clean-Up. newmedia@seattlepi.com a caller in Broward Co., Florida did just that and said to the 911 operator, "My toilet's overflowing, what do I do?" Unless your toilet is overflowing because a burglar used it and clogged it and he's still tormenting you, household problems do not warrant 911 calls. (newmedia@seattlepi.com )
QUICK ...RESPONSE 1-877-71-FLOOD
When confronted with a bowl that is overflowing, quickly turn the water off under the tank. If you don't have a shutoff under the tank, or it's frozen, remove the tank lid and lift up on the float ball or cup. Then have someone else turn the water off at the main shutoff. (This assumes the problem is a clog in the toilet. If the problem is a backing up sewer then turning the water off isn't going to help. With the exception of a floor drain and not all houses have one, a toilet on the lowest level of a house is often the lowest opening to the sewer, and the first place water backs up when there is a problem with tree roots in the street.)
Once the water is off, and calm is restored, take a survey of the family. Does anyone know what might be clogging the toilet bowl? Has anyone lost a toy? Or maybe a cucumber any tooth brushes or combs missing. roller for the toilet paper? How about the top to the can of hair spray? Etc., etc. If you determine that something has been accidentally flushed away, have the person with the smallest hand put their hand inside a large plastic trash bag and try to retrieve the item with their finger tips. Not always possible, but worth a try. However, take note of the following story from Loleta, CA and don't force your hand too far into the hole.
"Philadelphia,Pa. A 41 year-old man was taken to the fire department after his right hand became stuck inside a toilet bowl. Fire personnel unbolted the toilet and took both man and toilet to a nearby fire station where he was eventually freed with the liberal application of WD-40 spray lubricant. Neither the man nor the water closet suffered injury. It was not revealed why the man had reached into the commode to begin with."
next step

Next step is to try the plunger or force cap. There are plungers especially made for toilets; one has a cone on the bottom another has a bellows which allows for more air to be exerted on the clog. Position the plunger over the large hole in the bowl and push down.Bob the Plumber in Napa, California cautions that you should start slowly to use a plunger on a stopped up toilet, and gently start to build intensity. He says he learned this lesson the hard way a long time ago, and to ignore his advice is to risk a mess. Develop intensity by gradually pressing more forcefully and pulling back faster. Repeat this as many times as necessary to dislodge the clog. I repeat please follow Bob's advise and begin the process slowly. Plunging usually works, but if it doesn't then you can try a toilet auger.

A Toilet Auger
A toilet auger is a plumbing snake inside a protective tube that has a bent end. You pull the snake back into the tube as far as it will go then insert the end of the pipe in the large hole in the bowl. Next, turn the handle while pushing firmly on the snake. DO NOT USE A REGULAR SNAKE IN A TOILET BOWL. A regular snake will scratch and damage the bowl.
CAUTION Call a Professional Restoration Company- 1-877-713-5663
If you are tempted to use a chemical drain cleaner/opener in a clogged toilet, don't forget they are caustic and can cause chemical burns to the eyes or skin. Use only products specifically marked as safe for use with porcelain, and follow the manufacturer's directions exactly. Never mix any chemical agents and never plunge a toilet after you have put drain cleaner in the bowl.
Professional plumbers won't thank you if the cleaner doesn't work and you then turn the problem over to them. You must tell the plumber that you have used a chemical unsuccessfully because extra caution has to be given as some of these chemicals can cause severe burns. Some plumbers will add a surcharge to your bill if you have tried a chemical drain cleaner before you called them.
A Last Resort 610-457-8465 EMERGENCY REPAIR AND CLEAN-UP
I have read several suggestions on the interest that claim adding dish detergent and boiling water to a clogged toilet bowl will clear the obstruction. Adding dish detergent to a toilet bowl is probably not a problem, but pouring hot or boiling water into a toilet bowl is very risky. The contrast between the cold toilet bowl and the hot water could crack a toilet bowl. If I was going to try this, I'd start by adding only the dish detergent.
Thanks for the info Carpetbusters/Cb Restoration on your site. It was very helpful in fixing my clogged toilet. A 4 inch plastic tube of makeup fell in the toilet and I took the steps outlined on your web page. However, after unsuccesfully using the auger, I had an idea. I secured a treble fishook to the end of the auger and was able to hook the tube and fish it out. I hope this helps someone else. Keep up the good work!
Wet/Dry Vac to the Rescue
A last resort method is to use an industrial strength wet/dry vac to attempt to vacuum the clog out of the bowl... (An idea sent in by a viewer)
(Rich , Canton, OH) I found your website searching the internet. I tried unsuccessfully to clear a clogged toilet with a plunger then a toilet auger. I read your suggestion of using a wet/dry vac. I used a 12.5 hp shop vac. Your suggestion solved my problem. Thank you for sharing ideas from do-it-yourselfers.
(Peter Kowsmasko Silver, NJ) Hi, Your suggestion using my wet/dry vac saved me from a big job of unclogging a bloated bar of soap.
A little off the topic of toilets, but useful nonetheless. My granddaughter recently had an outdoor cellar way drain backup during a heavy rainstorm. She and I wrestled my old wet/dry vac to her basement, and we vacuumed out the clog so fast that my granddaughter said that it was too easy. She also said that the last time that drain had backed up she called a plumber who charged her $300 ! Needless to say she was very pleased. I purchased this wet/dry vac 30 years ago (1979) for around $100. For most of that 30 years, it has gathered dust in the garage, but when you need it, it is worth it's weight in gold.
When you are not successful with the above, you have an few choices. Call a plumber, or remove the toilet so you can try to clear the clog from the bottom of the bowl. By the time you've reached this stage, you must remain calm and above all don't resort to the extreme measures of the father in the following story ...
"Los Angeles, CA. A man in the central area was arrested for negligent discharge of a weapon after shooting his toilet five times with a .38 caliber handgun. He claims that he just got pissed and had it up to here after being unable to dislodge a hairbrush his daughter had flushed earlier in the day. The man received a psychological evaluation and was released on personal recognizance. It is not known whether or not the toilet pressed charges."

Oh No! No Water!
There are few things in life we depend on more than our water supply. That realization becomes a reality during and after big storms and electrical blackouts. For people living or working in hi-rise building (condos, apartments, offices, etc.) when the lights go out so do the pumps that maintain the water pressure in those buildings unless there are backup power generators. A single family homes is no better off when the public water supply is interrupted by a water main break, and private well systems suffer from the same malady ... no electrify = no water.
Hundreds of residents of Montgomery County, Maryland have learned how vulnerable they are to aging water supply systems. A rash of water main breaks have made headlines in the local papers and television news programs. According to the Gazette Community News, "There have been 42 breaks and leaks in the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission's (WSSC), the local utility company, water network in May alone (2007). According to the Gazette Newspaper, WSSC has 5,000 miles of water mains in their system that covers 1000 square miles, and a quarter of these are more than 50 years old.
Like iceburgs, the major part of the pressurized water pipes are out-of-sight and out-of-mind buried under roads. As the pipes age and deteriorate they become susceptible to ruptures from the traffic bouncing along overhead. The ensuing floods buckle roadways, disrupt traffic, shut down schools, fill basements with water, shutdown air conditioning systems in high-rise buildings, wash away gardens and lawns, leave bathrooms and kitchens without running water and leave a massive mess to cleanup.
After one pipe ruptured in Montgomery County, four homes were evacuated; one home had its basement fill with water to its ceiing. Weeks later two homes two of those home remained empty and condemned.
While few households can store a large enough supply of emergency water to keep the plumbing system operating at full speed, there are some steps that can be taken to minimize the hardships. First, keep a supply of bottled water in your home for drinking purposes. Then collect, wash thoroughly, and fill large bleach jugs or 2-litre soda bottles with water for other purposes. Find an out-of-the-way place to store this emergency supply of water in the basement, garage, laundry room, etc. Then periodically, change the water. I use my supply to water plants and then refill so my supply is rotated, and the water isn't wasted.
Don't be Caught Flushless www.floodsupport.com
When the possibility exists that your water supply may be cut off (i.e. in anticipation of a hurricane) remember you have one more flush for each toilet, but then that's it. So, to insure you are not left flushless, fill your bathtubs with water and put a large bucket next to each toilet in the house. One bucket of water dumped quickly into a toilet bowl should completely flush a toilet. If your bathtub drain leaks, smooth out a plastic grocery bag over the drain cover.
Oh No! No toilet tissue!

No one enjoys being caught short, but there is no need to risk this kind of humiliating degradation, instead install one in your bathroom. Hang your Emergency Toilet Roll in a convenient access point, within arms reach of your toilet seat, and break open the window in case of emergency.
