Rain, rain go away

What's one of the most common natural disasters in the U.S.? If you answered "floods", you are correct!

Heavy rainstorm can cause incredible damage to your property! Make sure you are prepared. Though heavy rain in California is rare, it DOES happen, and we've seen all too well the damage it can do to unsuspecting homeowners and property owners who aren't prepared for the aftermath of that. 

Here at SERVPRO of San Diego City SW we like to be helpful, so here are a few tips to help your home or business avoid floods:

1.) Purchase flood insurance! Get a call in to your insurance agent to ensure your insurance covers floods

2.) Make sure your rain gutters and other drainage systems are installed properly, and clean out your rain gutters frequently

3.) Fix LEAKS IMMEDIATELY. Do not wait until it's too late!

4.) Spend some extra money to install a rubber roof underlayment. It's a waterproof barrier that goes under the shingles and protects your home from water intrusion

If you do experience a flood in your home or business, call us. SERVPRO of San Diego City SW is available 24/7 at 619-269-5004. We'll help get your property back into shape "Like it never even happened."
