Flood damage cleanup questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Edmond?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Edmond Building Services.
Does insurance cover hail damage in Edmond?
Generally yes, subject to your deductible. Report damage soon after the storm.
Is flood damage covered by homeowners insurance?
Usually not. Rising water from outside is typically covered only by a flood policy (NFIP or private). Water from a burst pipe is a different claim under your homeowners policy.
Can drywall that got flood water be dried?
Generally no. Floodwater is contaminated, so the IICRC S500 standard calls for removing porous materials it soaked, including drywall and insulation, above the waterline.
