SERVPRO of Avondale/Goodyear/Southwest Phoenix can help if you are dealing with water damage.

Monsoon season is officially in full swing and began last Thursday with majority of the Phoenix area experiencing it’s first bout of rain, dust, lightning, and thunderstorms. As the season progresses with a chance of more storms expected as the weeks progress, it’s important for Avondale and Goodyear residents to prepare for emergencies which could potentially lead to water damage on your property.

One of the common causes we see take place during monsoon season is rainwater leaking into homes and businesses. To prevent this from occurring, inspect your roof for any cracks, damaged roof tiles, or any other noticeable wear and tear. We recommend contacting a licensed roofing specialist to make the necessary repairs. It’s also crucial to examine your windows and windows to make sure they are properly sealed. We’ve had instances where homeowners discovered water leaking in from their windows which led to damaged walls and flooring. You need to examine your door to make sure it is properly sealed and no water from the outside will enter. If your home is in a lower elevated area and is prone to flooding, make sure all the entrances are properly sealed and inspected for any cracks or openings that would allow water to enter. You can also purchase sandbags to use on the outside of your home to act as a barrier.

It is easy to find yourself overwhelmed with daily stresses and maybe you can’t find the time to deal with monsoon prep on your home.  If you find yourself in an emergency and dealing with water damage, it is okay, SERVPRO of Avondale/Goodyear/Southwest Phoenix is here to help.
