A house is flooded with water and trees.

Water Damage
When a storm rolls through or a pipe bursts in your home, the resulting flood can cause severe damage. Protecting your home against floods is the best way to avoid these damages and save yourself the time and money repairs would cost. Emergency flood cleanup in Roswell, NM, can be costly and frustrating to deal with. Even a small flood can leave behind a lot of damage. Thankfully, there are ways to prevent your home from flooding and quickly deal with any floods that do sneak in.

Drainage

Proper drainage in and around your home is the ultimate flood-fighting system. Drainpipes prevent water from building up on your roof, and drain systems in the ground and your basement can prevent water from building up in your home. If your house was built at the end of an incline, you might need to install drains and pipes around the structure to divert water. The soil your home was built on can retain water, causing it to flood back into your home. Installing drain pipes and sub pumps in your basement can extract that water as soon as it seeps in. With an effective drainage system, your home can be safe from flood damage.

Waterproofing

Waterproofing your home is another way you can prevent floods from getting inside. Walls and windows should have a watertight seal. If they don’t, you can hire a waterproofing technician to apply waterproof sealants and ensure that water won’t be able to drip or pour in. Your home’s structure should also be inspected for weak points. Any cracks or holes, however small, can lead to big flood disasters. Repairs should be done immediately to protect your home from floods. Issues with your house’s foundation can also lead to structural integrity loss, so fixing them as soon as possible has the added benefit of making your home stronger overall.

Maintenance

Maintaining your home and yard can go a long way in preventing floods. Storms can produce powerful winds that push loose yard debris into your home. If this debris breaks a window or puts a hole in your roof, no amount of waterproofing or drainage will be enough to stop the flood. Keeping your yard clean and clear, especially before a storm, can prevent flood damage in your home. Maintenance should also be done on your pipes and sewage lines. A burst pipe or backed-up sewage system can lead to floods in any part of your home. Sewage floods, especially, have the chance to carry disease and other hazards. By keeping your pipes in good shape year-round, you can alleviate the risk of flooding. If your home has experienced a flood, call Pro Steamer Cleaning and Restoration at (575) 623-0993. Our phone lines are open 24/7 to respond to any emergency flood situation. We’ve helped homes with emergency flood cleanup in Roswell, NM, since 1992. Our trained and certified technicians are dedicated to getting your home back to pre-loss conditions as soon as possible.
