You can deduct property damage expenses if there was an amount that was not covered by insurance. If the flood damage was repaired for $3000 and you received $2000 from the insurance company, then you could deduct $1000 as a repair expense. If you did not have any out-of-pocket expenses, there is nothing to deduct.
