Power and water don’t mix. If water has entered your home, the Insurance Council says don’t turn on the electricity until an electrician has inspected it. That still applies when the grid comes back after an outage. If you live near the river, follow Nerang River flood warnings closely. Nearly a third of Nerang’s occupied homes (30.9%) were rented in 2021. Tenants should report flooding to the property manager, because the RTA lists flooding or serious flood damage as an emergency repair.

Gather a few details before you call. Where is the water coming from, and has it stopped? Which rooms, floors and belongings are wet? Tell us if the power is still off. Is the home yours or rented, and is a claim under way? We’ll pass your answers to a local restoration business that works in Nerang, once you give the go-ahead.
