How To Prepare for Flood Damage

2/1/2019 (Permalink)

Flooding can be devastating to your home, but there are steps you can take to prevent and recover from this disaster.  By planning for a storm, you will reduce the amount of damage to your home.

Clean the Gutters

Clean gutters will direct water to proper drainage areas and away from your home.  If gutters are clogged, water can overflow and saturate the ground around the foundation and damage the property.

Maintain the Storm Drains

Storm drains are needed to direct water away from your property.  If you see a problem with your storm drains, contact your local authorities so they can fix the issue.

Have a Response Plan

Be prepared for flooding.  Listen for weather updates, create an emergency kit, and move to higher ground.

If your home experiences flood damage, contact the restoration professionals at SERVPRO of Cecil County immediately.  We have the expertise and equipment to help make your disaster “Like it never even happened."
