Can Homeowners Minimize Flood Damage to Homes in Indian Village – Call SERVPRO

Heavy rain can contribute to flooding in Indian Village and surrounding area. Often water penetrates homes through open windows, overflowing gutters and downspouts, and basement window wells that fill with water. Water can also pool around foundations and leak through cracks in the cement into the home.

SERVPRO provides flood damage remediation and restoration to residents of Indian Village. Water always seeks the most accessible entry point into our homes, and many homeowners are surprised to find water on the main floor or in their basement after a storm. Our team can respond quickly and clean up the damage caused by storms where water leaks into the house. Our fast response to remove the excess water and install air movers and dehumidifiers can return your home to normal before significant damage occurs.

There are steps that residents can follow to mitigate the risk of water penetrating their homes. Our experience dealing with flooding after a storm has shown that there are some things that residents can take to lessen the chances of water penetrating their homes during a storm. These steps are:

• Clean gutters and downspouts filled with leaves and debris to prevent water from accumulating
• moisture sensors in the basement to monitor water penetration
• Install a sump pump, especially if you have a high-water table
• Include a battery backup for the sump pump in case of power failures
• Clear basement window wells and ensure drains to the weeping tile are clear
• Elevate critical appliances such as heating systems, appliances, and other valuable items
• Ensure the ground slopes away from the outside walls of your house to avoid water pooling at the foundation

While you may not avoid your basement flooding, following these steps can mitigate the amount of damage during a storm and flood event. SERVPRO can help with all your flood damage restoration needs after a storm.
