Flash Flood Warning-- the alert that many of us dread. By calling SERVPRO of Madison Wisconsin at 608-221-1818, we can help make it "Like it never even happened."
How to Protect Your Property:
- Keep insurance policies, important documents and other valuables in a safe-deposit box. Make sure you store them where it's least likely to be damaged by a flood.
- Raise your furnace, water heater and electric panel to higher floors if there are areas in your home that are capable of being flooded.
- Install check valves in building sewer traps to prevent flood water from backing up into the drains of your home.
- Seal walls in basements with waterproofing elements to avoid leakage through cracks.
