April Showers Bring May Flowers

“April showers bring May flowers” but dealing with rainfall in the moment can be quite inconvenient.

People often say, “April showers bring May flowers,” and based on that theory our gardens will be more beautiful than ever in just a few weeks. The heavy amount of rainfall this season provides may eventually lead to flowers and sunshine, but dealing with rainfall in the moment can be quite inconvenient. 

That is why the team at SERVPRO of Henry and Randolph Counties is committed to making sure you understand how an abundance of rain can have an impact on your home. As we go throughout this wet season, be sure to prepare yourself and your home for any of the following problems caused by heavy rain or standing water:

• Sump Pump Backup- Sump pumps are used in homes to transfer accumulating water from a basement to the outside. In situations where there is a heavy amount of rain, a sump pump may struggle with keeping up, leading to a potential backup and flooding.  

• Septic System Failure- Septic systems are underground water chambers used to treat wastewater. They are common in rural areas such as ours. Heavy rainfalls and accumulating water can oversaturate your land and cause your septic system to flood. 

• Mold- Anytime there is a buildup of water or moisture in a home or building, there is a high likelihood mold will develop. Once it starts growing in an area, it can multiply quickly causing a toxic problem for homeowners. 

The team at SERVPRO of Henry and Randolph Counties are experts in water damage repair and restoration. If you find yourself in need of help after suffering from any of the above issues, they are here for you.
