Safely Protecting the Contents of Your Flooding Wilmington Home

In the wake of substantial disasters like hurricanes, your Wilmington home can become both structurally damaged and susceptible to hazardous flood effects. As much as you want to avoid these unfortunate circumstances, it is often safer to vacate the premises to stay safe and then work to restore and repair structural concerns when the storm passes. When flooding is seemingly inevitable, there are steps that homeowners can take to protect their belongings and reduce their loss. 

Hurricanes, tropical storms, and other severe weather events consistently present risks of flood damage to Wilmington homes. Content management is a significant division of our SERVPRO team, especially during flood disasters. Even with our advanced technology and tools, we are at the mercy of the severity of the water damage and how long these contents have remained exposed to the standing water. Your involvement ahead of the storm can help to save you from losses that have no set monetary value. These items might include keepsakes, heirlooms, and irreplaceable treasures.

As much as you want to save all of your possessions for what can feel like an inevitable loss, there are some practices you can employ before our professionals arrive after the storm has passed. Apart from the traditional approach to hurricane-proof a home, including boarding up windows and shutting off utilities, you can also round up the precious belongings of your home to protect them from what is coming as you get to a safe location.

You often have limited time to prepare your home for what flood damage could occur, so you have little time to waste in gathering up your possessions as well. Employ the entire family in helping to grab what belongings matter most, as these can be a source of comfort even amid the destructive power making landfall with higher category storm systems.

We are here with you when disasters strike, as our homes are in the same communities as you. We can be there quickly to help overcome the harmful flooding conditions in your home and to mitigate your losses. No matter what help you need, you can count on our SERVPRO of New Hanover restoration specialists to provide it. Give us a call today at (910) 762-8180.
