Preventing Flooding
Flooding can be devastating, but preventing it is the best course of action. To minimize the risk of flooding in your area, ensure that: • Your home's foundation is level and secure • Your gutters and downspouts are clear and functioning properly • Your roof is in good condition and has adequate ventilation • Your drainage system is working correctly
Preparing For Flooding
In the event of a flood, it's essential to have a plan in place. Prepare yourself and your loved ones by: • Creating a flood evacuation plan • Stocking an emergency kit with essentials like food, water, and first aid supplies • Having a safe room or shelter designated in case of a flood
Repairing Damaged Areas
After the initial damage has been repaired, be sure to inspect your home's structure and foundation for any signs of weakness. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage or flooding: • Inspect your walls, floors, and ceilings for any cracks or water damage • Check for signs of structural damage, such as sagging beams or damaged foundations
