What To Do When Water Damage Happens?
Water damage can happen suddenly and without warning. Whether it’s a burst pipe, overflowing toilet, or flooding from heavy rain, knowing what to do in those first critical moments can make all the difference. Follow these steps from FloorTec Restoration of Yankton to minimize damage and keep yourself safe:
Step 1: Locate The Source & Turn Off Your Water
If water is actively flooding your property, locate your main water shutoff valve and turn it off immediately. Only do this if it's safe to access the area. Stopping the water source helps prevent further flooding.
Step 2: Turn Off Your Power
Electricity and water are a dangerous combination. As a safety precaution, turn off your power at the breaker box to prevent potential electrocution or electrical fires. Even a minor leak can escalate quickly.
Step 3: Call A Reputable Water Damage Company
Once the area is safe, call FloorTec Restoration. Our 24/7 response team will arrive promptly to assess the damage, extract standing water, remove affected materials, and begin the drying and dehumidification process. We'll also handle your insurance paperwork to make the process as stress-free as possible.
Step 4: Remove Any Valuables (If Possible)
If it's safe, remove personal belongings or valuables from affected areas. However, avoid contact with contaminated water—especially if sewage or potential electrical hazards are present.
Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Water Damage?
Homeowners’ insurance may or may not cover your water damage depending on the cause. Below is a simple guide:
Homeowner's insurance will cover water damage if:
- Sudden & Accidental: Burst pipes, appliance malfunctions, or unexpected leaks are typically covered.
- Storm Damage: Wind, hail, or frozen plumbing caused by severe weather is generally covered.
- Vandalism: If your home is intentionally flooded by an act of vandalism.
- Fire Extinguishing: Water damage resulting from putting out a fire is usually covered.
Homeowner's insurance will not cover water damage if:
- Neglect or Poor Maintenance: Damage from long-term leaks or lack of maintenance.
- Floods: Natural floods require a separate flood insurance policy.
- Sewer Backups: Unless you've purchased an additional endorsement.
- Ground Seepage: Water entering from underground is typically excluded.

What Are The Different Types of Water Damage?
Not all water damage is the same—some types pose serious health risks. According to the IICRC Standards, there are three main categories:
Category 1 : Clean or "Sanitary" Water Damage
Water from a clean source, such as a broken supply line, faucet overflow, or rainwater. Safe initially, but can degrade if left untreated.
Category 2 : Grey Water
Contains contaminants that can cause illness or discomfort. Comes from appliances, sump pumps, or minor toilet overflows (without fecal matter).
Category 3 : Black Water
The most dangerous type is highly contaminated and often contains sewage, bacteria, or chemicals. Requires specialized handling and protective equipment.
No matter the category, avoid contact and call FloorTec Restoration immediately for professional cleanup.
