Threshold markers:

• Water level is between 18 inches and 3 feet above the finished floor level
• Water level is in the floor area of the appliances and into the equipment operating system
• All the appliances will need to be replaced

Common damage:

• All appliances at or above the first-floor level should be cleaned and reconditioned, as needed
• Gas-fired appliances should be checked by a service technician to verify whether the gas burners and controls and electric wiring systems were compromised -- replace as necessary
• The clothes dryer, washing machine, and dishwasher systems and controls will be inundated and need to be replaced

Damage over 75% typically occurs in high levels of flooding or when the home has sustained major damage, and all the built-in appliances in the home need replacement.
