SERVPRO is Here for West Medford Area Storm Flood Damage Calls
Flooding from storms can occur at any time, but the area of West Medford poses a unique challenge with the proximity to the coastline. With the havoc that mother nature can play at any given time along the East Coast, all residents must have a plan in place to limit flood damage and handle storms that come their way. SERVPRO is the company to call for all mitigation and restoration needs for anything that comes after a storm!
Unfortunately, floods are a frequent natural disaster, so you always need to be prepared. Rather than having immense flood damage in West Medford, there are some things you can do to get ready for a coming storm:
Before flooding occurs:
- Secure your home by elevating essential items higher than the possible water line
- Disconnect your electrical appliances
- Have your utilities turned off
- Evacuate if instructed by local authorities
- Keep the name of a restoration team handy
During storm flooding:
- Listen for area warning sirens
- Never touch electrical equipment when standing in saturated areas
- Avoid contact with contaminated floodwaters
After a flood:
- Only return home after local authorities give the green light
- Contact SERVPRO to begin the assessment for cleanup and flood damage restoration
- Get in touch with your home insurance company to notify them of the flooding in your home
