Getting information out on multiple platforms is always beneficial for the community.

Recently, SERVPRO Team Spinner had the privilege of collaborating with CBS New York for an insightful interview featuring our very own owner, Karl Spinner. The filming took place last week in honor of Severe Weather Awareness Week. During the interview, Karl shared valuable tips and advice on how homeowners can prepare their properties for severe weather events.

As a trusted expert in disaster restoration and mitigation, Karl's insights offer valuable guidance for protecting homes and families in the face of adversity.

Severe weather events, such as hurricanes, storms, and floods, can pose significant threats to homes and properties. By taking proactive measures to prepare for these events, homeowners can minimize the risk of damage and ensure the safety of their families. Karl highlighted the critical steps that homeowners can take to safeguard their homes and mitigate potential risks.

Karl shared that it is important to have a house where water can go away from the home. From having clean gutters to ensuring they divert the water away from the home, property owners can expect to reduce flood risks.

He also suggests to invest in a liquid dam and a sump pump, while giving tips on how to use each item when you have them.

As a reference before using a sump pump, owners must make sure there is no debris for easy water removal. In addition, make sure that your sewer clean out is secure.
