Howard County, MD - February 11th - "Snowmageddon" has come and gone.  Unfortunately, we're now left with the clean-up.  The melting snow can cause a number of problems in your home, including leaking or flooding. 
 
As a trusted flooring replacement and repair specialist to all the major insurance carriers, we wanted to share a few tips to help you prevent flooding or leaking and what to do in the event of a flood or leak in your home or office.
 
  • Shovel snow and ice 3 feet away from sliding glass doors, ground level windows and any below ground window or stairwells
  • Remove snow or ice blocking ground level drain spouts (do NOT climb on rooftops, call an expert) 
  • Stay vigilant and check basement walls, windows and floors for moisture regularly
 
In the event of damage:
 
  • Take pictures and make a list of damaged items (i.e., furniture, electronics, etc)
  • Don't throw anything away until you contact your insurance company.  If necessary, place damaged items in a trash bag and set aside until inspection
  • Begin to pull receipts (if you have them) for any of the damaged items
  • Ask us about insurance replacement discounts should you decide not to file a claim
 
Please don't hesitate to call or email if you have any questions or need assistance.  Feel free to pass these tips along to any friends, family or neighbors that may benefit.  
 
We hope that your family and home stay safe and protected. 
 
Best,
Adam
