This basement suffered sewage damage when heavy spring rains overwhelmed their sump pump.

Spring of 2022 is here, and somehow we avoided a polar vortex this winter.  The first snowfall was very late, and it seemed every time it did snow, it melted within a week.  Are we due for a big storm?

Spring weather can be unpredictable.  Large thunderstorms, with strong winds, hail, and lightning can roll through the area, followed by cold and, dare I say, snow?

The last few years there have been some heavy rains, with rain rates that exceed sump pump capacities.  Sewage backups can be the worst, with it's water damaging wall, floors, and furnishings, and that's not to mention the smell!

Take a look around your property NOW to see if you are ready for powerful thunderstorms.  Any boxes or furniture on the floor of your lower level that may get damaged if water backs up into your home?  Are the gutters on properly, to help direct rain water away from your home?

If water and/or sewage does happen to invade your home, simply call the cleanup experts at SERVPRO Bedford Park/Burbank at 708-430-3600.  We have the manpower, equipment, and expertise to handle any and all water damages.

You might say that when it rains, that's when SERVPRO shines!
