Preparedness is vital to handling spring storms or floods.  However, knowing what to do during and after a storm or flood is also crucial. Below you will find a list of what you can do to properly handle an unexpected disaster:

• Stay away from windows.  In case of severe storm, seek shelter in a basement or an interior room, such as the bathroom.
• Stay out of moving water. Just a few inches of moving water can knock anyone off his or her feet.
• Do NOT drive through water. Two feet of moving water can float almost any size vehicle.
• Listen to your portable radio to stay informed.
• If damage occurs, make lists and take pictures. File a claim as soon as possible
• All flood water is considered contaminated. Thus, if you have water damage, any absorbent materials that are contaminated should be removed and discarded (carpets, rugs, upholstered furniture, etc.).
• Water damage must be remediated correctly and quickly, otherwise it will lead to mold contamination, which presents another host of concerns and problems.
• If you suspect damage to electric or gas lines, call for a professional inspection before using them.
• Call your local PuroClean office. We can help you determine the full extent of the damage and perform full restoration services in accordance with industry standards and best practices.
