Flood Damage

Floods rank as one of the most common and widespread natural disasters in the United States.  Whether you live near a coastline, along city streets, in the mountains, near a river or even in the desert, there is potential for suffering flood damage.

Just because you haven't experienced a flood in the past, doesn't mean you won't in the future.  In fact, 20% of all claims paid by the National Flood Insurance Program were for policies in low-risk communities.  On average, floods cast $3 billion in annual losses in the United States.

According to the American Red Cross, floods cause more damage in the United States every year than any other weather-relate disaster.

Even minor floods have the potential to cause major damage to a structure when not treated quickly and properly, and the cleanup is often an overwhelming task.  Remember, when fire and water take control of your life, SERVPRO of Joliet will help you take it back.
