Flooded

12/28/2020 (Permalink)

One of the benefits of owning a home in the high desert (at least opposed to living on the coast) is that you never have to worry about your home being invaded by gushing torrents of water in the event of a storm. Unless, of course, it rains. Flash floods are one of the most common causes of major water damage in the desert and more than just the roads are affected.

Regardless of the amount of sandbags and preparation, water has an annoying tendency to find its way into homes and cause major damage. Though this year has been relatively dry so far, that doesn’t mean we’re not in for a wet winter / spring like 2019. If you end up pulling the proverbial short straw and find your home under six inches of water, make sure you have SERVPRO of Hesperia/Apple Valley or SERVPRO of Barstow/Twentynine Palms’ number saved (760-244-2566). With over 50 years in the restoration and water mitigation industries, we can help make it “Like it never even happened.”
