However, if you have a flooded basement you must not pump out the water quickly.

In this case empty out no more than 1/4 of the water per day. When you have time to prepare for a flood, or if you are in an area which is subject to flooding, there are some things which can be done to mitigate that future damage. Contamination by sewerage backing up through the properties sewer line is a major problem in floods.In some circumstances FEMA will allow home owners to flood basements to prevent sewerage from backing into the house. DO NOT do this unless permission is given! Not all damage resulting from flooding your basement will be covered, but sewerage contamination is such an insidious problem that it should be considered.

Find out how the National Flood Insurance Program works and read about Some Myths and Facts About the National Flood Insurance Program. Follow this link for companies participating in the National Flood Insurance Program's participating Insurance Companies.

The New York District of the Army Corps of Engineers has a Flood Report Form that you may find useful. Take actions to prevent further damage. In the case of a flood it is important to remember that the sooner the property dries the less damage will occur.
