Learn the steps to take during a flash floods and hurricane. Call ServiceMaster at (813) 295-7797 for water and storm damage cleanup in Clearwater, Florida.

Disasters such as hurricanes and thunderstorms are typical in Florida. There is a time every year when Floridians experience destructive thunderstorms and hurricanes that could cause huge damage to their properties. Hurricanes can bring flash floods, hard rains, and water damage, and can destroy anything that stands in their way.

The hurricane season is here, so it's best to prepare your property and family for whatever happens. Here are some tips from ServiceMaster by PWF Pinellas.

Check for water damage inside and outside your property
  • Check for mold buildup and any standing water inside your property to avoid accidents. 
  • Standing water is easy to spot and easy to clean. However, there are times when your indoor spaces will be flooded. 
  • You can do the flood cleanup yourself, but it would take a lot of effort on your part especially when you don’t have the right equipment to do it. Call the experts at ServiceMaster by PWF Pinellas to perform mold inspection, dehumidification, and water removal on your property.

Document all damages
  • All damages must be documented so that you can have an accurate report for your insurance company. Your insurance company can help you finance the damages that the storm has caused. 
  • By doing this, you can have peace of mind and you don’t have to worry about the money. Always make sure to document the before and after photos so that your evidence will be intact.
These are just some of the things that you can do after a hurricane and it is always best to perform a routine check before the storm. You have to keep in mind that water and storm damage needs to be promptly addressed as they may lead to more serious issues, such as mold and irreparable structural repairs.
