How Can I Better Prepare for a Flood?

When you're anticipating a severe rainstorm, a few steps can help you brace for potential home damage:

• Keep a list of emergency contact numbers.
• Have spare water and non-perishable food on hand in case of extended power outages.
• Consider seeking assistance and being prepared for flooding risks.

Though not all rainstorms lead to severe consequences or power loss, preparedness is always wise. Having bottled water and non-perishables ready ensures you won't be caught in a rush to the store along with everyone else. SERVPRO recommends scheduling an appointment to discuss our ERP Plan. The Emergency READY Profile Plan can help prevent or mitigate damage from intruding water, fires, and even mold.

What Can SERVPRO Technicians Do Upon Arrival?

Upon reaching your residence, our highly trained technicians can immediately take action. We can initiate the process by:

• Covering roof holes with tarps to impede water intrusion.
• Employing wet/dry vacuums to extract water from walls, ceilings, and floors.
• Utilizing air blasting tubes, including injecti-dry advanced devices, to introduce dry air into hard-to-reach areas.

At SERVPRO, we're committed to minimizing excess moisture in your home and preventing mold damage. If you face a distressing flood event, grant your home the assistance it deserves!
