The past year has not been kind to people living in areas that have been affected by floods. Those devastated by Superstorm Sandy and in other flooded areas are still working tirelessly to get back onto their collective feet months after the floods hit. While the immediate danger appears to have subsided in these places, many insurance agents and business owners are beginning to grapple with the long-term consequences of such a disaster. While they have come a long way already, there is still a long way to go.
Places that were impacted by floodwaters that came from the sea are facing especially unique challenges, particularly if they did not take proper steps to clean up their properties as soon as possible after the waters receded. Seawater is saltwater, and saltwater can have a particularly harmful effect on buildings over time if the areas are not properly cleaned.
Saltwater over time will corrode just about anything, and that’s a big problem for buildings with boilers, older plumbing or any type of electrical wiring that can be reached by any type of water. At this point, many are beginning to notice the effects of this corrosion, but once it starts it is usually too late to reverse this process. Unfortunately, many people will be faced with the prospect of an additional round of enormous and unforeseen expenses. That list of affected parties includes:
Each of these individuals will face unique challenges. Homeowners will not only need to replace the corroded apparatuses and wiring, but they will also need to work with their insurance companies in order to come to some sort of a resolution. Business owners will need to do the same thing to a large extent so that they can keep their operations running. Property managers have tenants to protect and commercial property owners need to avoid any unforeseen shutdowns. Insurance agents need to deal with all of these claims and get them resolved as well.
The best way for this to have been handled, and the best way for anyone in San Diego to handle an inundation of seawater is to immediately obtain the help of disaster cleanup professionals. However, if that was not possible the individuals will still need help so the dangerous and decaying components of buildings can be safely removed before they are replaced.
