Being prepared for a flood can save you money and time.

Since floods are one of the most common natural disasters in the U.S., with an average of 25% of flood claims coming from low-risk areas, SERVPRO® of North Pensacola has these tips to offer you to help reduce the amount of flood damage when it occurs.

Lower the Risk of Flood Damage in Ferry Pass:

• Check your county planning department to see if you live in a flood plain
• Build barriers to stop flood water from getting into the basement
• Use waterproofing sealants to avoid water damage
• Back up computer files and keep them in a safe location
• Install a drainage system or flood wall in your yard
• The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reports that flood insurance is available even in low-risk areas
