You Experienced a Flood in Thailand: Here’s What You Must Do Right Away

Most of us know Thailand as one of the most beautiful Asian countries. But what a lot of people don’t talk about is that this country also has one of the worst floods in this part of the world, especially during monsoon season when it receives more than 700 million cubic metres of rain.

So if you’ve recently experienced a flood in your property, a flood restoration ( ฟื้นฟูน้ำท่วม ) project should be on your list. Here’s what you need to do right away:   

• Wait for clearance. If you had to evacuate from your home due to the flood, don’t go back until you get the all-clear from emergency services. A flood can bring a lot of hazards, from electricity problems to possible structural issues. So make sure that it’s safe for you to go back to your property to assess the damage.

• Check for damages. As much as it’s heartbreaking to see your property after a flood, it’s also very important to do a full assessment to determine the extent of damage that needs to be addressed right away. Let a qualified electrician check your electricity before you turn on your main switch to make sure that there’s no electrical damage that could cause a fire or electrocution. This is also a good time to assess how much water damage needs to be cleaned in your property, so you can live safely in it again.

• Call the flood restoration experts. Restoring your home after a flood can be an emotional and exhausting job, one that’s best left in the hands of professionals. Remember that this isn’t just a simple carpet cleaning job. You need to remove dirt, mud, debris and other things on your floor, walls and furniture, all of which will require expertise and the right equipment. That’s why instead of going through all the hassles yourself, it’s best to leave the job to experts who can restore your home quickly.

• Get in touch with your insurance company. If you have insurance on your property, you must contact your insurer right away to report the damage and start your flood insurance claim. Take photos and videos of your property before the cleaners start restoration. You can use these images as evidence once you file your insurance claim to ensure that you’re given the best amount possible to help with restoring your home.

When everything is done, it’s also good to start thinking about ways on how you can prevent the same thing from happening again. A flood can be financially exhausting, traumatic and draining to you and your family. So if you can, try to find ways to avoid being in the same situation. You could look for preventative measures or if not, think about relocating to a better part of the city where you won’t be reached by the flood.
