3 Precautions to Take When Living Near the Water in AZ

Request Your evaluation. Use the Form Below

Living near a body of water is a pleasant experience for many people. You likely have enjoyable access to the outdoors, and you may even get a nice breeze in your house from the water. While you should certainly enjoy these charming benefits, you must also recognize the potential risks of your location. In other words, learning more about possible flood and water damage in AZ and taking precautions can help you to prepare for negative situations.

1. Have an Evaluation

While scanning your house, you might think that everything is in order in the event of a flood. However, instead of guessing or assuming, schedule an appointment with a professional to see if you could take any other steps. For example, you might learn how to prevent water from destroying the basement or what you should do if a major storm arrives. Also, you can have an inspection to see if any previous damage exists. If an old storm weakened beams or ignited an invasion of mold in a hidden place, learning about the issue know can allow you to take care of it and prevent further damage from occurring.

2. Prepare an Emergency Kit

You can also speak with the professionals about the types of damage or issues that could occur in a storm or flood. This conversation can lead to a better understanding of how to prepare your emergency kit. In this kit, you can also include numbers of professionals to assist in the event that water damage in AZ does occur. Regardless of the type of damage that happens, you want to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. Otherwise, the situation could become worse. Furthermore, an early assessment lets you know what to expect and how to plan for the future.

3. Develop an Escape Plan

Consider how quickly storms can turn dangerous. If you live near the water, you want to make sure that you and your family know an escape plan. Create a plan that accounts for the safety of everyone in the house, including people and pets. Having this plan can help to reduce panic and wasted time in the event that a dangerous situation occurs. The goal here is to get everyone out quickly and safely.

Living near the water shouldn’t be a constantly terrifying experience. However, recognizing that a situation could occur is important. A sense of preparedness and knowing important contact numbers in the event of a problem can boost your confidence.

I hired Lotus to resolve an issue in my master bathroom. They were prompt and fixed my problem excellently. And they were cost effective. I am very happy with their work. I would use their services again. Call them. They will take care of you.

If I could recommend sainthood it would go to Jill at Lotus restoration services. To make a long short she literally saved us thousands of dollars of expenses. We live 1200 miles from the property we were having issues with. My wife and I talked to over a dozen of different vendors doing various tasks and we spend plenty of money doing so. We received Jills information from one of those vendors and found out that the problem wasn't even ours. Jill took the bull by the horns, made calls on our behalf and lined up what really needed to be done for the tenant below us that was really having the issue. I swear I wouldn't look anywhere else. She's amazing and her customer service is the way customer service should based on. Thank you Jill.

We had a small issue that needed a professional opinion. Even though this was not something that benefited Lotus financially, Jill demonstrated great knowledge and was more than helpful in answering and resolving our questions. Problem solved!

We had an AC water leak in our attic and needed to see if we had black mold as a result. Our appointment was quickly scheduled, Josh arrived 15 minutes early and was incredibly polite, thorough and honest. We are VERY impressed with this company and will use them for future construction repair needs.

I called Lotus on a Sunday night because my AC was leaking into my Ceiling. Jill gave recommendations for HVAC Companies to fix the leak and had a Lotus crew to my house the next morning to clear out the damaged ceiling and to dry out the area. Chris (who worked on everything) was wonderful with answering all of my questions and very responsive to texts. If I could give more stars I would.

Matt Ross was awesome! His professionalism, mannerism, communication, and sweet soul made the experience so much more easier to deal with. Matt actually made me feel like I mattered and the fact that he was not settling for half doing the job really wowed me. He treated my family like his own. Way to go Matt!!!!
