Heavy Rain Incoming
With heavy rain in the forecast for Anderson, SC and surrounding areas this week, now is the time to take steps to protect your property and stay safe. At Premier Restoration, we’ve seen firsthand how quickly stormwater and flooding can cause serious damage—and we’re here to help you prepare and respond effectively.
How to Prepare for Heavy Rain & Flooding
Here are a few key steps you can take to minimize potential water damage:
1. Move Valuables to Higher Ground
If you store items in a basement or lower-level rooms, elevate or relocate them to a higher floor. Important documents, electronics, and furniture can be at risk during heavy rainfall.
2. Secure Outdoor Items
Bring in or tie down patio furniture, grills, and tools. Strong winds and heavy rain can move unsecured items, potentially causing damage to your home or others.
3. Clear Gutters & Drains
Make sure your gutters and storm drains are clear of leaves and debris so that water can flow freely away from your property.
4. Check Sump Pumps & Backup Power
If your home has a sump pump, ensure it’s working properly and consider a battery backup to keep it functioning during a power outage.
5. Stay Away from Floodwater
Never walk or drive through floodwater. As little as six inches of moving water can knock you down, and a foot of water can carry away a vehicle.
