Basement Floods, Damages Appliances

Water heater fallen over from 4ft water flood.

When a Homeowner arrives home from a vacation they don't expect 4 foot of water in their basement and floating appliances. Local fire department pumped out majority of the water and then we arrived to finish pumping out and then the dry out. Based on the level of moisture and the temperatures, this home took a longer dry out of 5 days.

It's important when leaving your home for periods of time to shut off your main water valve. In winter months keep your heat at a good temperature to keep your pipes warm. Have a neighbor, family member or good friend frequently check on your home. But if this happens to you, you can count on SERVPRO of Western Lancaster County to be there for you!
