What You Need to Know About Summer Flooding
7/16/2020 (Permalink)
In Warren County, we are home to Barren River Lake and many other smaller bodies of water. It is critical for us to know warning signs of a potential flood situation, especially if your home or business is nearby. SERVPRO has identified a few dangerous areas for people like you.
Danger Zones:
- Areas near rivers: riverbanks can easily overflow with water after heavy summer rains, which can quickly cause damage to any property surrounding it.
- Around dams: the worst cases scenario would be a failed dam that could cause a rushing surge of water into your home or business.
- Highly populated areas: with a large amount of buildings and roads in a certain area, this can prevent water absorbing into the ground to prevent flooding. Storm drains are the best option to aid in this situation, but even they can clog and fail.
Water can be dangerous even after a few inches, so more precautions are better than none. Call SERVPRO of Warren County with all of your water damage needs! (270) 796-8080
