Water Damage Reaches More Than Just Your Home

2/23/2018 (Permalink)

According to FEMA, it's important to check your vehicle prior to emergencies!

Here at SERVPRO® of Pulaski and Laurel Counties, we are all too familiar with water damage in homes. But, you should be aware water damage doesn’t just occur in homes, and usually impacts cars and roadways first. We are here to help with some tips from FEMA on how to keep you and your family safe on the road:

• Keep your gas tank full.
• Keep your tires up to date so they have good pressure and are less likely to slide on slick roadways.
• Do NOT drive through a flooded area --even six inches can cause a car to lose control.
• Should a power line fall on your car, stay inside the vehicle until a trained professional removes the wires.
• Simply watch the weather and be aware of what is to come when there is a storm and flood warning.

And, as always, when water damage impacts your home --we are #HeretoHelp!
