4 Steps To keep You In Business During A Flood

With heavy rainfall and stormy weather comes floods. The best way to limit business interruption from a flood is to prepare your business for it. Before storms create floods in your area, follow these steps to protect your Pickens County Business. 

1. Clear Gutters: A blocked gutter can overflow and flood the roof. Remove sticks, leaves, and other debris that could cause a clog. Ensure your gutters are securely fastened. 
2. Cut Back Trees: Cut back any tree limbs before bad weather. This prevents the possibility of loose branches falling into the building during high winds or rain. 
3. Back-Up Data:  Before any bad weather starts, back up any important data. Many companies choose to have a server store their content as a precautionary measure. 
4. Make a Flood Dam: You can build a flood dam with sandbags to protect your property from flooding with blackwater. 

If your business suffers flood or storm damage, do not hesitate to call SERVPRO of Pickens County (864) 855-3993. We'll make it "Like it never even happened."
