Conyers, GA is among the U.S. cities with a very low risk of hurricanes. However, it cannot be said that the city is totally immune to powerful storms and other severe weather events, such as tornadoes. In any case, it’s always best to prepare for the worst from June to November each year.
After a hurricane passes, the disaster area is often littered with debris from broken tree limbs, fallen powerlines, and damaged property. It can be difficult to determine where cleanup and restoration should start, especially with hazards all around.
ServiceMaster by LoveJoy is available to provide water and storm damage cleanup in Conyers, GA day and night. Here are some measures to take when the storm is over.
- Hurricanes often require evacuation efforts, especially in high-risk areas. If evacuated and concerned about your home's safety before returning, call a qualified building inspector or structural engineer to assess the structure.
- If you're staying in a building that's eventually found to be unsafe, move out within the instructed time frame to prevent injuries and other dangers.
- Avoid needless sightseeing to prevent delays in emergency response. Stay inside a safe place and out of floodwater.
- Do not drive over flooded roads and damaged bridges. When you must enter floodwater, wear proper protective equipment such as waterproof boots, gloves, and overalls.
- When it's safe to do so, survey your property for damage and hazards. Stay away from debris, compromised structures, and downed powerlines.
- Call your insurance provider right away and take steps to avoid further damage, such as installing emergency roof tarps and boarding up broken doors and windows.
- Take photos or videos of the damage, and keep all proofs of communication with the insurance company.
- Keep all receipts for temporary lodging, restoration, and other expenses for insurance purposes.
- Turn off the power in your home if it's safe for you to do so. Do not operate water-damaged electrical systems and components. Have a licensed electrician check them first.
- Gas lines can be damaged by large floods. If you're in doubt, contact a utility provider to check your home for gas leaks.
- Do not use open flames for illumination. Use battery-powered flashlights. If you're unsure of a gas leak problem, turn on flashlights outside the building to prevent igniting any gas leaks present inside.
- Contaminated water causes illnesses. Do not use tap water for drinking or food preparation unless you're sure it's clean and safe for consumption.
- Do not consume spoiled food. If your refrigerator's temperature exceeds 40 degrees Fahrenheit for a minimum of two hours, don't eat any product taken from it.
- Contact a dependable restoration company near you to get started with cleanup work.
