Storm Safety

A rainstorm that has the possibility of causing damage.

What a heat wave we have been experiencing lately in the northeast. I think everyone here in Jersey can agree that it finally feels like summer! We have been experiencing hot sunny weekends in the 90s, impromptu trips to the beach, and endless barbeques. But with hot weather comes brutal showers.

Severe thunderstorms pummeled across New Jersey and the Northeast these last few days, causing flooding on major roads, widespread ongoing power outages, fallen trees and utility lines, damage to homes and even fatality. SERVPRO of Hamilton & South Trenton would like to stress the severity and the potential threat storms can cause.

To keep from putting yourself at risk, we encourage our community to please stay away from storm-damaged areas, downed power lines that can potentially have live wires, and to never drive through a flooded road. During storms, use a battery-operated radio to get updates from local officials. Stay away from windows and doors. Make an emergency supply kit. We recommend having water, non-perishable food, flashlights and extra batteries, clothing and hygiene items, important documents, and cash.

As Always, SERVPRO of Hamilton & South Trenton are here to handle any water damages, no matter the home or business. Give us a call at (609) 604-8241 to set up a free inspection with us. We are here to serve our community!
