SERVPRO Can Help Merrimack Residents Recover from Flood Damage
It is never too late to protect your Merrimack home from flooding. If you anticipate flooding or are concerned that your home could be exposed to contaminated floodwaters, taking the following steps to protect your home may be in order:
- Evaluate the risk of flooding and listen to local flood authority broadcast warnings
- Move appliances and contents to the upper areas of your home
- Ensure electrical generators and sump pumps are fully operational
- Install backflow prevention valves to prevent sewage backflow
- Place sandbags in appropriate locations
- Plan your evacuation route
SERVPRO provides flood damage cleanup services in Merrimack and can help clients recover from flooding to their homes and outbuildings. If you must evacuate, shut off your utilities, move to higher ground, and do not drive or walk through flooded areas.
Once the authorities allow residents to return to their homes, check for damage and throughout all food that floodwaters have contaminated and call SERVPRO for help with the cleanup. We will assess the damage and recommend what can be cleaned and saved vs. what contents and structure must be removed and restored.
