When Flash Flooding Strikes: Protect your Home with Quick Action.

Flash flooding can happen with little or no warning, especially in New England, where heavy rain, saturated ground, and poor drainage can create dangerous conditions in minutes. When the skies open up, it’s critical to react fast.

Here are 5 smart ways to help protect your home:

• Keep gutters and downspouts clear so rainwater can drain away quickly.
• Check and seal basement windows and doors to keep water from seeping in.
• Move rugs, furniture, and valuables off basement and lower-level floors.
• Have a sump pump or portable pump ready in case water starts to rise.
• Take quick photos or video of conditions to support insurance claims later.

Simple prep steps like these can make a big difference when there’s no time to spare.

After the Water Recedes: Assess & Prevent Further Damage

Once the storm passes and it’s safe, check your basement and low areas for standing water. Remove wet items to reduce mold risk and take more photos for insurance. Avoid running fans or power if there’s still water around outlets or electrical systems until it’s safe. Acting quickly can help reduce long-term damage.
