Share
Recovering from a flood can feel overwhelming but with the right gear and a clear plan, you can restore your home safely and efficiently. Here's your flood recovery guide, packed with essential tools, safety gear, and water filtration solutions to help you bounce back.
Suit Up
Before you step into any flooded area, protect yourself. Floodwater can contain harmful bacteria and sharp debris, so gear up with 3M Scotch Brite Heavy Duty Gloves and ACE Safety Goggles to shield your eyes. A 3M 9513 KN95 Mask protects you from airborne mold and dust, while the ACE Rechargeable LED Flashlight helps navigate dark or powerless spaces.
Remove Water and Mud Quickly
Act fast to prevent mold by removing standing water with the Black & Decker 10L Wet/Dry Vacuum. For residual moisture and mud, the ACE 2-Bucket Spin Mop is your go-to for deep, efficient mopping.
Deep Clean and Disinfect
Use ACE 5-Pc Microfiber Cloths to wipe down surfaces—they're highly absorbent and reusable. Follow up with disinfectant or bleach solutions to sanitize everything that floodwater touched, especially floors, baseboards, and inside cabinets.
Seal and Repair
Floods often reveal or worsen cracks in your home. Patch and protect with WaterStop Wet and Dry Sealant 60mL, ideal for roofs, walls, and joints—even on wet surfaces.
Dry Out the Space
Dry air is critical to stopping mold. Use fans or the ACO Dehumidifier STD ACODHQ4 to reduce humidity fast. For added airflow, the Asahi Wood Stand Fan 16in. XF6077 helps circulate air in large rooms.
Restore Safe Drinking Water
Tap water may be unsafe after a flood. The IVO SB151 Water Purifier is a compact, faucet-mounted solution that removes bacteria and contaminants — ensuring clean, safe water for drinking and cooking.
