- Clean Your Rain Gutters - People sometimes don't remember to check their gutters for debris and blockage. Have your gutter cleaned and debris removed beforehand to prevent water blockage. Look for sticks, debris and leaves that could clog up the gutters and flood or overflow.
- Take Safety Precautions - storm damage can create physical hazards such as collapsed property wall, glass damage, or standing water in the home interior. Additionally, moisture can soak into the furniture and carpet, creating an environment for mold growth which can cause health effects. Contact SERVPRO of El Dorado Hills/Placerville to assist you with tasks to secure your property and ensure your wellbeing.
