Three simple steps, and the call itself is free.
Dial (800) 555-0100 as soon as water gets indoors. Tell the call handler where it lies deepest and whether electrics are involved; that short account decides what equipment travels with the pro.
Your call passes directly to an independent local pro who covers 70710. You explain the situation once, to the person who will actually attend, and they set out with kit suited to your description.
On arrival the pro walks the home for hazards, deals with risks that can be handled safely, and begins extracting. You hear what was found, what leaves with the crew, and what drying and checking happen next.
The emergency services a local pro provides here.
Restoration here is a race against ponding. At roughly 15 feet of elevation, water that crosses an Addis threshold lingers against subfloors and wall bases instead of draining away. A pro makes each room safe, pumps the standing water out, then maps moisture through the home and shapes the recovery plan around what the meters find.
📞 Call NowIn West Baton Rouge Parish humidity, a flooded room turns moldy fast where moisture stays trapped behind vinyl plank or inside a wall cavity. Mention any delay since the water arrived, or a musty smell already present, when you call. The pro can build containment and antimicrobial treatment into the opening visit, not weeks later.
📞 Call NowSome repairs cannot wait for drying: drywall hanging loose after a flood cut, flooring lifting underfoot, a door swollen shut. Those hazards are dealt with on the emergency visit. Rebuilding waits until moisture readings show the structure has dried, and the pro separates tonight's safety work from that later list plainly.
📞 Call NowStreet water entering an Addis home is treated as Category 3, the most contaminated class, because runoff can carry sewage, fuel and road chemicals. The response pairs speed with sanitation: extract fast, carry out silt and debris, discard what cannot be cleaned safely, sanitize hard surfaces, and start drying on that same visit.
📞 Call NowCleanup is the dirty middle work done for you: standing water pumped out, sodden carpet and pad lifted, mud scraped from hard floors, surfaces washed down so rooms are safe to occupy again. Coverage runs across ZIP code 70710 at all hours, and one call sets it moving.
📞 Call NowExtraction does the heavy lifting first. Submersible pumps tackle deeper pools while a truck-mounted unit draws water from carpet and hard flooring, halting its climb up drywall. Under mobile homes — 8.5% of Addis housing — the underside is checked for trapped water too. Rooms emptied early need far less stripped out.

Straight answers first — call any time for more.
A real person answers, day or night — no obligation.
People before property. Gather everyone — children, pets, anyone unsteady on their feet — into rooms that stayed dry, and resist going back in for belongings. Then ring (800) 555-0100 straight away; in 70710 a pro can typically attend within 30 to 60 minutes, day or night. While waiting, shoot photos from a dry doorway and lift paperwork only where your feet never leave dry flooring.
Depth misleads. Even an inch can hide a lifted laminate edge — common in Addis homes, where the median build year is 2012 — plus whatever the water picked up from roads and drains on its way in. Where it touches sockets or cords it may also carry current. Keep out, keep children and pets out, and leave wading to a pro wearing protective gear.
Only under narrow conditions: the panel is reachable across flooring that is completely dry, your hands are dry, and you never step into standing water to get there. If any part of that fails, skip it. Mention the panel's location on your call instead, and keep the household away from sockets and appliances meanwhile. A panel that has taken water needs an electrician's check once extraction is finished.
In ordinary conditions, yes: the line at (800) 555-0100 is staffed 24/7 and pros covering Addis — with Brusly only 1.9 miles away — typically arrive inside 30 to 60 minutes. During the heaviest West Baton Rouge Parish rain, flooded streets can stretch that timing — calling early joins the queue while damage is smallest.
Read it as a warning that drains are surcharging into water that is already classed as Category 3. Change your behavior accordingly: no skin contact at all, no mopping it up yourself tonight, and no children or pets anywhere near it. Tell the call handler about the smell specifically. The attending pro will plan protective equipment, containment and antimicrobial treatment around contaminated water.
Paperwork wins, with one condition: only items you can reach while standing on dry ground go up onto high furniture. The car moves only if the garage floor and the whole route out are dry and no electrics are wet. Anything that requires wading stays where it is. Documents can often be dried out; an injury suffered in flood water cannot be undone.
Settle them in one dry room behind a door you can close with an adult — curiosity pulls children back toward water, and pets will drink from it. Keep retrieving toys or bedding off the agenda entirely. If the whole ground floor is wet and a neighbor on dry ground nearby can take you in, go, and tell the pro where you have gone.
Treat the laundry room as off-limits the moment water reaches the washer, the water heater or any socket in there. Nobody touches switches or unplugs anything, and this detail goes first in your call to (800) 555-0100 so the pro plans around live-appliance risk. Afterwards, hold off using any flooded appliance until it has been properly examined — internal damage is often invisible.
Pumping is the purpose of the visit, provided the home first checks out as safe to work in. Expect hazard checks, then submersible pumps and extraction, removal of material that cannot be salvaged, and air movers and dehumidifiers left running. Mobile homes get an underside inspection too. Before leaving, the pro explains the drying schedule and the next visit, so the night ends with a plan.
Call anyway — standing water does not become harmless when the sky clears. At Addis's 15-foot elevation it will sit against subfloors and wick up drywall for as long as it is left. Unless someone is in immediate danger — then 911 comes first — ring (800) 555-0100 tonight, name the rooms still holding water, and let extraction start now.
Start with people, not possessions. In Addis tonight: move children and pets somewhere dry, keep clear of any water that has reached wiring or appliances, and touch only the belongings you can lift while standing on a dry floor. Next, phone (800) 555-0100. Calls are answered round the clock, and a pro can typically reach ZIP code 70710 within 30 to 60 minutes. The fuller service and data picture sits on the main Flood Water Cleanup Addis, LA page, for when things calm down.

Safe steps only — do these while you wait for the pro.
Depth is not the danger on its own. A shallow layer can conceal a lifted floor edge, a live socket at skirting height, or contamination washed in from drains and road runoff — and none of that can be judged by looking. Flood water is handled as Category 3, so skin contact alone is reason enough to stay back. Addis adds a local twist: at roughly 15 feet of elevation, water that gets in has almost no gradient to escape by, so it sits and soaks into subfloor and drywall while the clock runs. Leave flooded rooms alone until a pro has checked them.
Well done — you have done the safe first steps. Now let a pro handle the water.

What to do while you wait, and what the pro does first.
Those minutes carry a short job list. Remain on the dry side of the house with children and pets close by. If your feet stay dry, collect medication, chargers and paperwork into one bag. Record each affected room on your phone from its threshold. Resist mopping, resist dragging wet carpet up yourself, and avoid switching fans on in flooded rooms — handled wrongly, each of those spreads contaminated water into cleaner areas instead of removing it.
Addis downpours can turn a street into the source: rain arrives faster than drains clear, the level outside climbs, and water slips under doors and across thresholds. Do not haul a door open against that pressure, and do not wade around placing towels or sandbags. Shift anything reachable from dry flooring onto beds or counters, make your call, and know pumping can start as the outside level eases.
Electricity changes the rules completely. Water around a socket, the water heater, a washer or the HVAC system means nobody enters that space, nobody touches a switch, and nobody handles the breaker panel unless it can be reached across a fully dry route with dry hands. If that dry route does not exist, leave the power exactly as it is and describe the situation on your call, so the pro arrives prepared for it.
Gurgling toilets and a drain smell during a storm point to the drainage network surcharging — pushing wastewater back toward your home on top of the rain that already arrived. Treat contact as zero-tolerance: no bare hands, no home cleaning attempt, children and animals kept well away. Pass the detail on when you call. What you smelled shapes the protective kit, the containment set-up and the sanitizing work the pro plans for the first visit.
Water trapped above a ceiling gathers weight quietly, then fails suddenly. A dip, a bulge or a spreading stain overhead means that room stays empty — no rescuing furniture, no quick look with a phone camera, nothing stored underneath retrieved. Pull the door to from the hallway if you can, flag it on the call, and leave draining that ceiling to the pro.
Sequence matters more than speed. Move one: everyone, pets included, out of wet rooms. Move two: nobody bridges water and electrics — no switches, no plugs touched. Move three: raise dry belongings only where reaching them keeps your feet dry. Move four: document depths and damage from dry ground. Move five: call (800) 555-0100, give ZIP code 70710, and report which rooms are affected, roughly how deep it is, and whether it is still climbing. Done in that order, you have done everything needed.
Hour one runs to a pattern. Entry is cleared as safe, electrical and contamination risks are checked, and any inflow that can be stopped safely is stopped. Pumps start where the pool lies deepest; as levels fall, the pro probes walls and flooring with moisture meters to find how far the water travelled. By the hour's end, drying kit is running, material that cannot be saved is identified, and you hold a plain account of tomorrow's stage plus photos and readings for an insurance file.
