Don't Let a Flooded Building Ruin Your Summer Fun!!!

6/19/2019 (Permalink)

Although the rain is mostly gone, the risk of a flood is not. Now that summer is here it is important to monitor the quality and strength of your infrequently used pipes. Everyone loves filling up the kiddie pool, setting up a slip n’ slide, or filling up several buckets for water balloon wars. With the added use on outdoor hoses that may have been damaged during the freezing winter, it is important to check for leaks before, during, and after use on the blistering hot days of summer.

The cost of damage caused by a broken pipe can be staggering. Depending upon the severity of the flooded area these costs can vary greatly. One of the key factors to preventing a large loss and keeping the repair costs low is how quickly the problem is addressed. The quicker you can find the water shut off valve the less money you’re going to spend on remediation. In addition to monitoring your pipes and checking for leaks, it is crucial that everyone in your family knows where your water shut off valve is in the event of an emergency. In the unfortunate event that you do suffer water damage in your home, SERVPRO of Southeast Portland is here to fix the problems so your family can quickly get back to a day of fun in the sun.
