Bringing in professionals to remediate water damage in your home is the best option. Our SERVPRO team has the know how and the equipment to help you.

Safeguarding Your Apartment and Belongings

Flooding is a genuine concern for Manhattan residents, especially during stormy weather. The city's iconic skyline may give an impression of safety from flooding. However, heavy rains, storm damage, and flash floods can quickly overwhelm buildings and cause significant damage. High-rise apartments, narrow streets, and older buildings can make flood protection more challenging than in other areas. Basement dwellings often suffer extensive damage from water intrusion.

Protecting Your Home in Manhattan

For Manhattan residents, flood damage can come unexpectedly, but there are several ways to be proactive. First, ensure your apartment is prepared by securing windows and doors before storms. Adding waterproof barriers around doors or entryways can also reduce water infiltration.

In addition, you can protect your belongings by storing valuable items in higher, less vulnerable areas of your apartment in waterproof containers. When floods occur, the damage to your furniture, electronics, and important documents can be costly if left unchecked. That's where SERVPRO® of Upper West Side can help.
