Slow Down Flood Damage With a Few Quick Tricks

Keeping your home in Brockton safe from flood damage can be challenging. However, you can take simple actions to reduce your losses in a future storm and make a restoration project go smooth and fast.

• Store valuables upstairs-Storing valuable belongings in an upstairs room can protect them from most flood damages without too much effort. If your home lacks a second floor, you can use an attic or overhead cabinet space to store your most prized possessions. 

• Keep the floors clean-Removing clutter from the ground can help save your belongings in the event of a flood. On top of looking neat and clean, these steps will protect your home from the majority of floods that SERVPRO technicians encounter, which rarely reach more than a few inches in depth. 

• Place barriers below furniture legs-Placing a plastic lid or sheet beneath the legs of your furniture can help them dry out quicker after a flood. Ideally, you should also lift your furniture onto blocks after flood damage strikes, but any barrier can be helpful.
