We have seen record levels of rain this year that has caused unusual flooding within properties. In light of the weather forecast, here are some reminders of important actions to take prior to the storm. Actions To Take Prior To The Storm Clear debris from gutters. Make sure downspouts are properly connected and directed away from your house. Bring in outside furniture and any objects that could be damaged or blown by high winds. If you have a sump pump, check to make sure it is working properly. Make sure any inside and/or outside floor drains are clear from debris and working properly. If you find that your home is experiencing water entry, please keep the following suggestions in mind: Safety First: Never step into standing water as it may carry an electric charge or be contaminated. If you smell gas, leave your home and call 911. Stay out of basements and low lying areas when the water is rising. Call your insurance company. They will direct you on what to do to protect your assets within your insurance policy. Call a qualified restoration company. Qualified companies are used to working with insurance companies and will be helpful in properly extracting water and preventing further moisture damage.
