The Ultimate Guide to Flood Cleanup in Rochester, MN

Flooding can be a devastating experience for homeowners in Rochester, MN. Whether caused by heavy rainfall, overflowing rivers, or burst pipes, the aftermath of a flood requires immediate attention to prevent further damage and ensure the safety of your home and family. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through the essential steps of flood cleanup in Rochester, MN, helping you navigate the process effectively and efficiently.

Assessing the Damage

The first step in flood cleanup is assessing the extent of the damage to your home. Take stock of any visible damage to walls, floors, furniture, and appliances. Pay close attention to areas that are prone to water damage, such as basements and crawl spaces. It's essential to act quickly to mitigate further damage and prevent mold growth.

Safety First

Before beginning any cleanup efforts, prioritize safety. Turn off the electricity and gas to prevent electrical shocks and fires. Wear protective gear such as gloves, boots, and masks to protect yourself from contaminated water and mold spores. If the floodwater is particularly deep or if there is structural damage to your home, it's best to seek professional help.

Removing Water

Once you've ensured your safety, the next step is to remove standing water from your home. Use pumps, wet-dry vacuums, or buckets to extract water from flooded areas. Be thorough in your efforts, removing as much water as possible to expedite the drying process.

Drying Out Your Home

After removing standing water, focus on drying out your home to prevent mold growth and further damage. Open windows and doors to promote air circulation, and use fans and dehumidifiers to speed up the drying process. Remove any wet carpeting, insulation, or drywall to facilitate drying and prevent mold growth behind walls and under flooring.

Cleaning and Disinfecting

Once your home is dry, it's time to clean and disinfect all surfaces that came into contact with floodwater. Use a solution of bleach and water to disinfect walls, floors, and other surfaces. Thoroughly clean and sanitize furniture, appliances, and personal belongings to prevent the spread of bacteria and mold.

Inspecting for Mold

Even after thorough cleaning and disinfecting, mold can still develop in hidden areas of your home. Inspect your home regularly for signs of mold, such as musty odors, discolored walls or ceilings, or visible mold growth. If you suspect mold is present, consult a professional mold remediation specialist to address the issue promptly.

Restoring Your Home

Once the cleanup process is complete, focus on restoring your home to its pre-flood condition. Repair any structural damage, replace damaged flooring and drywall, and repaint walls as needed. Consider implementing flood prevention measures, such as installing sump pumps or elevating electrical outlets, to reduce the risk of future flooding.

Seeking Professional Help

While many aspects of flood cleanup can be tackled DIY-style, some situations may require professional assistance. If you're dealing with extensive damage, contaminated water, or mold infestation, don't hesitate to seek help from experienced flood cleanup and restoration professionals. They have the expertise and equipment to handle even the most challenging cleanup jobs safely and effectively.

Flood cleanup in Rochester, MN, can be a daunting task, but with the right knowledge and preparation, you can mitigate damage and restore your home to its former glory. By following the steps outlined in this guide and seeking professional help when needed, you can navigate the flood cleanup process with confidence and ensure the safety and well-being of your home and family.

seahawk/mermista, glimmer and for the 5 character ranking: adora, glimmer, catra, scorpia and perfuma?

((Thank you for She Ra!))

Seahawk/Mermista

when I started shipping it if I did: I didn’t really ship it until Season 4 with the “Boys Night Out” episode. Sea Hawk’s plan to get fake-captured was dumb but it did cheer Mermista up in the end. I loved their shanty— sorry, rock remix. Seeing them fighting and singing together was what made me think these two could work.

my thoughts: This went from a “meh” ship, to a “fun” ship, to an “OH MY GOSH— FAVE” ship by the end of the series. I wish there was more moments with them but at the same time I’m glad they didn’t overuse Sea Hawk!

What makes me happy about them: At first it looks like Mermista holds Sea Hawk at arm’s-length (groaning whenever they’re in the same room, cancelling plans with Sea Hawk) but given Sea Hawk’s nature... that’s kind of understandable sometimes. There’s only so much Sea Hawk one can take. But Sea Hawk really does care about her and he makes her happy. I love how the shock of hearing him say “I love you” is enough to snap Mermista out of Prime’s control.

What makes me sad about them: I know this is the one series where we don’t see any of the M/F ships get a proper smooch, whereas the F/F ships do, and that should be celebrated, but dangit, I WANTED THEM TO KISS. Glimmer/Bow got a forehead kiss. What about the Sea Princess and her himbo sailor?

things done in fanfic that annoys me: I sadly haven’t read any fics with them but I don’t think I’d like anything where Sea Hawk is ridiculously dumb or Mermista is needlessly mean.

things I look for in fanfic: Anything hilarious and sweet

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Sea Hawk/Bow and Sea Hawk/Double Trouble are both good. Maybe Mermista/Entrapta as well?

My happily ever after for them: Mermista returns to her kingdom and restores it to her former glory while occasionally going on yacht trips with her royal consort, Sea Hawk. (He may look the part but no way is he prince material.)

who is the big spoon/little spoon: Either?

what is their favorite non-sexual activity: Setting boats on fire

Glimmer

How I feel about this character: My poor daughter...

All the people I ship romantically with this character: GlimmAdora, Glimmer/Catra, and Glimmer/Bow is... ok.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Glimmer & Frosta, Glimmer & Angella

My unpopular opinion about this character: I see a lot of videos about Glimmer with titles like “Glimmer annoying moments” or “Glimmer is a terrible person” or “Dammit, Glimmer!” Yes, Glimmer made a lot of bad decisions in Season 4, like shutting Adora out, activating the Heart of Etheria and trusting Shadow Weaver... (Who hasn’t been manipulated by Shadow Weaver at this point?) But Glimmer’s mother had just DIED and she had to take the throne and responsibility for the rebellion at such a young age... I wish she had been written more sympathetically during Season 4 but we’ve gotta have our friend breakup before the final act, I guess. The fact that she has flaws— even evident in Season 1– just made her more relatable for me. She made a lot of bad choices but she always thought it was best for the people she loved— whether it was clinging to Bow or trying to save Etheria.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Glimmer and Adora didn’t need to argue THAT much. I thought it would end with them pretending to bicker in front of Flutterina— that was clever! But they KEPT arguing and saying some really hurtful things to each other. They could have just separated on civil terms, with Glimmer trusting Adora and Bow to go to Beast Island. But when they don’t return, Glimmer could panic and resort to using the Heart of Etheria then. Either way, she still would’ve been abducted by Horde Prime and would need saving later!

my OTP: GlimmAdora was my absolute OTP for this series until the end of Season 4 where they had their big argument. It’s still my favourite Glimmer ship but not my favourite ship for the series as a whole now. They just care about each other SO MUCH and I was so happy when they reunited and reconciled.

my cross over ship: Currently don’t have one but I’m just thinking about how similar Glimmer and Allura from Voltron are? Both were magical space princesses who lost their parents and had to take over the throne. Maybe Glimmer can bring Allura back from whatever pocket dimension she’s stuck in along with her mother

a headcanon fact: I’d like to imagine Shadow Weaver grew to care for Glimmer just a little bit because of how much Glimmer reminds her of Micah. (How OLD even is Shadow Weaver?) Doesn’t mean SW wasn’t a manipulative witch but I like conflicted villains so...

Order: Glimmer, Adora, Scorpia (I’m so sorry, Scorpia...), Perfuma, Catra

Scrying like bad cell reception: KH: “Switch to AD&D.” JB: “Can you scry me now?”

About the taste of human: SW: “You would know.” A: “Nah, I don’t swallow.” MR: “This conversation is making me uncomfortable.”

Wrestling prep: MR (IC): “I want a good, clean fight.” A (IC): “No we don’t.” JB (IC): “What’s a clean fight?” A (IC): “It means you have to take a bath first.” JB (IC): “What’s a bath?”

MGW: “There’s a bridge that looks like it may have collapsed at some point.” JB: “Is it a-bridged?”

Beautiful references (read in Rorschach’s voice): AA: “I’m not grappled with YOU,” ST, AA, and KH: “YOU’RE grappled with ME!”

Negotiation skills: AD: “It’s just me trying to bullshit him.” JI: “Why don’t you make a bullshit check?”

Trying to figure out if the staff is necromantic: CD: “We could kill a mouse in front of the staff. We could kill a mouse with the staff. How much is it to buy a mouse?”

JB: “Anyone die while I was gone?” SW: “Not on the outside.”

Wizarding limits: JS: “You may not polymorph your zombies into t-rexes.”

Far too relatable: JS: “Twenty psychic damage.” BC: “I’ve taken more psychic damage from my mother.”

Worst-laid plans: KH (IC): “I have a very bad feeling about this.” MR (IC): “You should.”

Our go-to combat tactic: MR: “Are we going to stupid the guy to death?”

Zing!: MGW (IC): “If you join me, I can make you the greatest dwarf who ever lived.” TP (IC): “I am the greatest dwarf who ever lived.” Whole Table (OOC): “Ooooohhhhh!!!”

Business as usual: KH: “This seems like a bad idea, but go ahead.”

Old adages: MR: “No plan survives contact with the enemy.” (IC) “But then, no enemy has survived contact with us!” (OOC) “Was that quote-worthy?” KH: “Yes.”

KC: “She can ride me. I don’t care.” KH: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) KC: “…I’M A BEAR IN ARMOR.”

Advantageous druidic inanity: KC: “Are you still riding the flying bear?” MR: “It’s flying now?” KC: “Yeah, he flew up to unlock the door.” AS: “…So he’s a flying bear with armor…”

Spell modifications for humourous purposes: MR: “Using a Dex[terity] save for Zone of Truth means they’re literally dodging the question.”

About a wild, crazy, out-of-left-field hypothesis: RD (IC): “I figured if you pulled something that big our of your ass there’d be bleeding involved.” MR (IC): “…That’s between me and my proctologist.” SW (OOC): “Did you take fire damage for that? That’s like Taco Bell levels of burn.”

As is per usual: MR: “We may have once again survived this by the skin of bullshit.”

So far all my dissertation thoughts have been about whether or not Star Wars actually counts as SciFi or Fantasy. I know Lucas refuses to say its SciFi I am not listening to him because he’s wrong. But also right.

I just read something saying the distinction between fantasy and science fiction is ultimately that fantasy has a happy ending. The evil is defeated and the world is restored to its former glory where as scifi (good scifi) is the opposite- the world is changed.

So looking at SW you would think yes fantasy because at the end of every trilogy the evil is defeated and the galaxy returns back to normal. EXCEPT IT ALSO DOESNT. The prequels end in tragedy, the originals yes do probably count as fantasy in that definition, and the sequels I am mixed on because theres is change but also the big bad of all three trilogies is defeated.

Then we talk about rogue one and the mandalorian which (technically we’re not at the end of the mandalorian) both have no tied up ending and have dramatic changes in reality for each character from the beginning to end!

Of course this isn’t a finite definition of either genre BUT its doing my fucking head in. On sliding scale of fantasy to scifi I would put it smack in the middle but that is the MOST frustrating place to put it if I want to continue writing about it.

#yall dont care about this niche #but its whats been living in my mind for weeks now and i am going to tear my hair out #WHAT IS IT?!???#feel free to add your own thoughts cus i would love to discuss #shut up molly

This generation may either be the last to exist in any semblance of a civilised world or that it will be the first to have the vision, the bearing and the greatness to say, ‘I will have nothing to do with this destruction of life, I will play no part in this devastation of the land, I am determined to live and …today it is the duty of every thinking being to live, and to serve not only his own day and generation, but also generations unborn by helping to restore and maintain the green glory of the forests of the earth.~ Richard St. Barbe Baker
