Decades of Experience in Flood and Natural Disaster Restoration
Since 1980, Stover’s Restoration has been the trusted choice for flood restoration across south-central Kansas. With decades of experience in natural disaster cleanup, our team is ready to respond when heavy rains, downpours, or days of steady precipitation cause flooding in your home. Basements, crawl spaces, and low-lying areas are especially vulnerable, and when floodwaters rise, they often bring more than just water—contaminants like fertilizers, sewage, and other harmful elements can pose serious risks. That’s why fast, professional flood cleanup is essential to protect both your property and your health.
Why Flood Cleanup Should Always Be Left to Professionals
Floodwater is far more dangerous than it looks. When water seeps into your basement or home, it can carry manure, trash, sewage, germs, and parasites—any of which can put your health at risk. Even when there’s no foul odor, the water may still be contaminated, which is why flooding should always be treated as hazardous. Calling the professionals at Stover’s Restoration ensures the damage is assessed safely and cleaned up with the right protective equipment.
In addition to sewage and waste, floodwaters may also contain pesticides, toxic chemicals, or even hazardous medical waste. Exposure to these contaminants can cause serious illness or worse, whether through skin contact or accidental ingestion. Protecting your family means taking every precaution, and our team is here 24/7 to restore your home quickly and safely.
Quick Flood Cleanup Checklist:
While these safety tips are important, cleanup after a flood is never something to take on alone. For your protection and peace of mind, it’s always best to leave flood cleanup to trained professionals like Stover’s Restoration.
- Stay Up to Date on Immunizations: Make sure your tetanus and other immunizations are current before beginning any flood cleanup.
- Use Safe Drinking Water: Drink and cook only with bottled water until officials confirm that your tap water is safe.
- Wear Protective Gear: Always wear gloves, waterproof boots, and protective clothing when working around contaminated floodwater.
- Avoid Open Wounds: Keep cuts and scrapes covered with waterproof bandages to prevent dangerous infections.
- Wash Hands Often: Clean your hands thoroughly and frequently with bottled or disinfected water after any contact with floodwater.
- Ventilate the Area: Open windows and use fans if possible to improve airflow and reduce harmful odors and mold growth.
- Dispose of Contaminated Items Safely: Carpets, drywall, and other porous materials exposed to floodwater should be removed to reduce health risks.
