Weather reports provided by West Virginia Panhandle Weather is showing a significant amount of rainfall in the next 48 hours. A friendly reminder from your locally owed and operated Emergency Water Removal and Restoration Company. With all the potential rain fall in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia this Saturday and Sunday there’s four easy steps to prevent your home from water damage.
1. Check your areaway steps for leaves or debris blocking the drain or strainer.
2. If you have a sump pump make sure it’s working every 4 to 6 hours.
3. Check your gutters and downspouts for leaves and debris. Re-direct any downspouts allowing water close to your foundation to an area where water will run away from your structure.
4. In the busy summer months it’s easy to forget about open windows or doors. Make sure all windows and doors are closed.
Rain and flood water coming into your home contains many hazardous materials such as arsenics in soil, pesticides, fertilizers, animal f***s, oils and chemicals from blacktopped roads/driveways and organic bacterias. All of these chemicals are potentially harmful to humans. Pumping water out of your structure leaving the hazardous materials behind simply doesn’t make It any less harmful. If you or anyone you know encounters rain or ground water in your home please call for a free hazard analysis inspection. 100% free inspection provided by Emergency Water Removal and Remediation 24 hours a day. This is also a reminder to check your insurance policy for sump pump backup coverage or flood water coverage.
