RAIN IS COMING

HOME PROTECTION BEGINS AT THE FOUNDATION

Rain started coming down yesterday, and we are looking at our first storm front moving in today with a few more sweeping through over the next few days. We are looking at sustained high winds with occasional heavy severe gusts and hurricane force winds possible! This heavy, prolonged, rain will fill rivers to their crest in some areas. It also creates some chance for light flooding in low-lying areas. Not trying to sound doomsday, but want to make sure that our customers are prepared. With high winds, and heavy rainfall, floods and power outages are likely to happen. Here is a quick prep checklist to help you be prepared.  in which case we would just like to remind all of our customers to make sure the vents to their crawlspaces are covered (if not encapsulated), make sure your sump pumps are working effectively and the proper batteries are fully charged and functional in case of an outage and make sure your gutters are clear of debris and can move water along without

1. Make sure the vents to their crawlspaces are covered (if not encapsulated)
2. Make sure your sump pumps are working effectively and serviced as needed
3. Make sure electronics are  fully charged and functional in case of an outage
4. Make sure your gutters are clear of debris and can move water along without clogs
5. Bring in or secure your lawn furniture and yard decorations, your pets as well keeping windows shut

We want all of our customers to be safe so make sure your phone is charged and ready with a list of emergency numbers on hand and try not to leave your home if not necessary. A good way to do that is to make sure you have enough food and extra water for the weekend. Flashlights, batteries and candles would be good to have on hand as well. And lets not forget a few board games for some indoor family fun!  

From all of us here at Johns waterproofing stay safe and have a wonderful weekend!
