As spring approaches, so does the unpredictable weather. Spring rain can quickly escalate into flooding, causing significant damage to homes and businesses. At SERVPRO®, we understand the urgency of disaster readiness. Let’s explore why preparation matters and how SERVPRO can help.

1. The Spring Flood Season

• Common Threat: According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), flooding is the most frequent natural disaster in the U.S.
• Late Spring Flash Floods: Late spring and summer are notorious for flash floods. These sudden, intense floods can catch anyone off guard.

2. Why Prepare?

• Advance Planning: SERVPRO urges property owners to prepare now. Waiting until disaster strikes is risky.
• Emergency Kit: Create an emergency kit with essentials like water, non-perishable food, flashlights, and first aid supplies.
• FEMA Checklist: Use FEMA’s emergency preparedness checklist to cover all bases.

3. SERVPRO’s Role

• Disaster Response Experts: SERVPRO specializes in disaster cleaning, restoration, and construction services.
• Swift Action: When flooding occurs, our professionals swiftly assess the situation and extract water using advanced equipment.
• Restoring Normalcy: Our goal is to make it “Like it never even happened.”

Spring rain may bring flooding, but with SERVPRO by your side, you’re not alone. Prepare now, stay safe, and remember that SERVPRO is here to help when you need it most.
