Anyone who has lived in Iowa knows that rain and flooding is a part of life. Just as much as harsh winter snow and hot summer days are a part of Iowa life, Spring days typically bring a considerable amount of rain. Sometimes, these rains come in the form of flash flooding. If you live near a river or water way or in low ground flooding is always a possibility. Most house insurance policies do not cover flooding. You must purchase a separate flood insurance policy. Another regular part of life in Iowa, is the possibility of broken pipes, frozen pipes in the winter, or sewer backup due to flash flooding and storms.
Water damage in Iowa is very likely. Just this Spring, we had flooding in Cedar Rapids when the Cedar River rose and left considerable damage to housing and commercial buildings. Iowa has experienced FEMA disasters from unexpected flooded many times. One of the flood companies in Iowa that you can depend upon is the Iowa Water and Flood Damage Restoration Services. They helped restore some of the damaged buildings in Cedar Rapids following the recent flood. Their restoration team is available to assist 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
An even more recent flood, was in Monticello, Iowa, in July of 2010. Flooding occurred from the Maquoketo River when the Lake Delhi dam failed. The flood damage was in the millions of dollars and involved both residential housing and businesses. Around 50 homes and 20 businesses had major flood damage. The city’s sewer plant was also flooded and temporarily shut down. The U.S. Army Corp. of Engineers assisted the residents and used pumps to keep the flooding water out of basements, when possible.
If you experience flooding or water damage, as listed above, there are several flood companies in Iowa that can assist you. In addition to the Iowa Water and Flood Damage Restoration Services, there is the Northeast Iowa Fire and Flood Company. Further assistance is typically available through FEMA and other resources such as the U.S. Army Corp. of Engineers. The best approach is not to wait until after flood damage has occurred to receive assistance but rather to have a flood insurance policy in place prior to disaster and damage occurring.
