Getting Your Condominium Ready for a Downpour

11/15/2023 (Permalink)

When it rains it pours in Nashville, and such downpours can cause headaches if your property is not prepared for them. There are steps you can take to alleviate the damage caused by rainstorms to your condominium, and should you experience storm damage, know that SERVPRO of Belle Meade/West Nashville is just one call away! 

Rainstorm Preparedness Tips

• Stay aware of the weather situation in your area. Nashville is prone to tornadoes, so it is a good idea to have alerts on your phone for severe weather warnings of any kind. 
• Make sure your windows and doors are properly sealed. Water can get into your condo through cracks in the windows or doors, so it is a good idea to properly maintain them to prevent flooding.
• If you are expecting a severe thunderstorm in your area, consider chaining down your outdoor furniture or bringing it inside so that it cannot break the windows or get knocked over should the winds pick up.
• Drainage or sewage issues can become heightened during a storm. Make sure that your plumbing is working properly and not leaking before a storm, and if it is not, be sure to get in contact with SERVPRO or your building’s maintenance crew to address these issues.
