Stormwater Damage

11/19/2020 (Permalink)

Stormwater can be a significant problem for your home or business if left unnoticed.  A large collection of rain can cause areas of a building to flood or cause structural damage to a roof as well as foundation issues.  Septic systems can also be negatively affected by this, leading to a health hazard.

• Ensure that your septic system and water source is not affected and is indeed safe to use.
• Inspect your property for signs of damage including flooding and land erosion.  These issues will only get worse if they are not properly maintained and resolved.
• Check that your drainage system is properly working in your yard.  A collection of stormwater is not only dangerous to your structural property, the water can become full of contaminants and debris that are unsafe to enter or surround the building.

Stormwater and other storm damages can be overwhelming and cause more destruction than what is expected.  It is critical to inspect your property for signs of these damages in order to prevent a larger water damage issue.  SERVPRO of Kennett Square/Oxford offers full services in storm damage cleanup and restoration.
