Hurricane and Storm Preparation in Chester County

10/15/2021 (Permalink)

Hurricane season runs until November 30^th.  During this season, SERVPRO of Kennett Square/Oxford would like to remind everyone in Chester County and beyond to stay prepared for future storms and inspect your home for any potential issues that can lead to storm damage.  By completing often simple inspections of your property, a much larger storm issue can often be avoided.  For instance, a well functioning sump pump can alleviate your fears of a flooded basement.  Repairing broken shingles or other structural elements of your roof can help to prevent an unforeseen water leak.

Please remember to thoroughly inspect your home or business as well as follow proper safety procedures during the event of another hurricane or storm incident. 

• During heavy flooding, do not attempt to drive through a flooded road.
• Stay stocked up on supplies such as a first aid kit, batteries and everyday essentials in the case of a power outage.
• Stay tuned to local news outlets for updates on the status of a storm.

Our Chester County community suffered many devastating losses due to Hurricane Ida.  We hope small but significant preparations such as these will help to reduce the amount of storm damage you experience.

For further preparations for storm damage, SERVPRO of Kennett Square/Oxford is also happy to offer our Emergency READY Profile Program to help your business in the event of an emergency.  This is a free assessment of your building where we compile pertinent information about your building such as water shutoff locations and electrical systems.  The info is then placed in a digital file for you to access at a moment's notice.  For more info on our ERP or storm damage services, give us a call!
