Water Damage New Port Richey: A True Horror Story

Based on a True Story

It was a cool and dreary evening in New Port Richey. The palm trees blew in the wind as the cypress trees stood frigid. Vultures huddled on the side of the road, picking at their prey and watched as the Johnson’s, returning from a vacation, drove down the street.

“Ooo, I just hate vultures!” Mrs. Johnson remarked as their black sedan drove by the creatures. Mr. Johnson agreed; his facial expression marked with disgust.

The sedan pulled down the street, making a right towards 999 Beechwood Avenue. Dusk set in quickly as the car pulled into the garage.

“The sun has set quickly this evening, has it not?” Mr. Johnson asked as he observed the horizon.

While getting out of the car, Mrs. Johnson looked over at him and smiled, “Nothing beats the sunset of Hawaii. What a marvelous time I had! We need to vacation more, darling!”

“Yes, it really was magical. But, at the same time, I am so happy to be home. I am looking forward to just relaxing in our living room and snuggling up on the sofa while we watch some television. That flight was long!” Mr. Johnson kissed his wife as he proceeded to open the door into the house. Just about to enter, Mr. Johnson stopped suddenly.

“What is it?” Mrs. Johnson asked in fear.

Non-Evacuation Water Damage New Port Richey Plan for Business

If your business’ facility is outside of an evacuation area and is not a trailer, your company may be able to remain open and even serve as shelter to employees.

Here is a simple checklist to follow if you are outside an evacuation zone:

1. Protect Windows and Doors. Secure the facility.

2. Get Clean Containers for Drinking Water as well as sinks for storing cleaning water. Plan on three gallons per person per day, for all uses.

3. Offer Your Facility as Shelter to Employees and Their Families who live in vulnerable areas or mobile homes. This will benefit your operations but may have some liability. Check first with legal representation.

4. Check The Disaster Supplies Kit. Make Sure to have at least a two-week supply of non-perishable foods. Don’t forget a non-electric can opener. Instruct employees to augment the supply with a kit of their own.

5. During the Storm, everyone should stay inside and away from windows, skylights and glass doors. If the storm becomes severe, find a safe area in the building (an interior reinforced room, closet or bathroom on the lower floor are good options).

If your home or business is flooding, contact a water damage company in your area.
