How To Sell A Flooded House

Posted on April 15, 2021 by David Jackson

Flooding is an unpredictable weather event that can turn your whole life on its head. Anyone who remembers severe storms can also vividly remember the destruction done to houses, neighborhoods, and entire towns. When flood damage occurs in your home, you may find exterior and interior damage due to groundwater, leaking pipes, or extensive flooding. Now, the question is – what do you do?

Selling a house after a flood

Whether you have mild flooding damage, like wet mold on your basement carpet, or expensive repairs and replacements, like water-stained walls and ceilings, you need to know the steps of how to sell a flooded house. In certain environments prone to flooding, like Texas, you must know the best method to sell a flooded house in Houston.

Inspect the Damage

Homeowners need to first inspect and evaluate the damage to see if they can repair the problems, or if they need to sell the house as is. We recommend hiring a floor inspector to assess the extent of the damage, with more severe flood damage requiring a FEMA inspector to ensure you reap the benefits of disaster relief.

As you inspect your flooded house in Houston, compile a list of all of the items damaged by the flood as you go along. Rinse surfaces as much as possible, clean any extra debris off appliances, and remove wet furniture and fabric from your home.

Lastly, scrub and clean everything in your home to see the true extent of the flood damage on your flooded house in Houston. Keep in mind that the longer you let stagnant water sit in your home, the more extensive the repairs will be.

Decide to repair or sell the house

Once you survey the extent of the food damage on your house, you need to decide whether to repair the parts of your home or sell the house. Hopefully your flooded house in Houston is insured, meaning you can reduce some of the biggest out-of-pocket expenses when it comes to making your house liveable again.

Sell your flooded house in Houston

If your flooded house in Houston is beyond repair, it may be time to sell your house. Even after you take out everything that has been damaged by the water and clean the appliances, it may not be enough to salvage your belongings and your home. Usually, the best solution is to let professionals fix the damage and sell your house as is.

Fixing your flooded home to sell to a buyer

Renovate the plumbing

If you want to sell your flooded house in Houston to a new buyer, the first step in getting your property ready to go on the market is to hire a professional to fix the plumbing.

Inspect the home for mold

Mold will severely detract value from your home and reduce interest in your property, so it is crucial that you have your home inspected for any mold that can lower the sale price.

Flood-proof your home

A buyer will be looking to see how you will protect your flooded home in Houston from further damage in upcoming years. Flood-proofing your house can increase the market value, since you will be replacing major elements like windows and doors.

Conclusion

Homeowners need to learn how to proceed when deciding whether to fix or sell their flooded house in Houston. After evaluating the damage and removing water-damaged appliances and fixtures, you must decide how to move forward with repairing your house or putting your flooded house on the market for a new owner.
