Storm season aka our beloved monsoon season is just a few months away! We can guarantee that this active storm time is every Avondale and Goodyear resident’s favorite. It gives our desert landscape some much needed moisture as well as giving us a nice break from the triple digit temperatures. But with monsoon season comes safety precautions pertaining especially to floods. Here are some tips to keep you safe when it comes to flooding that takes place in and out of your home.
- Never enter floodwaters as you don’t know what’s lurking in the water such as contaminated water or sharp objects. You also don’t want to get swept away in fast moving currents, if any.
- Pay attention to storm and flood warnings so you can act accordingly by avoiding being out on the roadways during an approaching storm.
- If you do find yourself on the roadways, avoid driving through floodwaters as your vehicle could potentially be swept away.
- If you do find yourself dealing with water damage in your home, do not ignore it. Give SERVPRO of Avondale/Goodyear/Southwest Phoenix a call to handle the water damage cleanup and dryout. The longer you wait, the more damage that could occur such as mold growth. We are available 24/7 for water damage emergencies occurring from floods so give us a call at 623-537-9999.
