Arundel has faced both a severe hailstorm and creek flood warnings. After hail or a heavy storm, check ceilings and roof spaces for water coming through. For flood and storm emergencies, call the SES on 132 500. Before any repairs, even emergency ones, the Insurance Council says to speak to your insurer and get permission in writing. It also says to document the damage with photos and videos. Tenants should also let their property manager know.

When you contact us, describe where the water came in and if it’s still entering. If floodwater came in from outside, mention how deep it got. Tell us what’s wet, room by room. Say if you rent or own, and where things stand with your insurer. With your permission, we’ll give those details to a local restoration business that works in Arundel.
