Are you in a floodplain?

Water damage as a result of rising water from flooding can be a disaster.

Determining if your house or business is in a floodplain should be a priority, especially in Louisiana. Just knowing this can mean the difference in what steps you take to prepare for a storm event and how much it may cost.

FEMA provides a flood map service center where you can enter your address to see if your home or business exist in a area susceptible to flood waters. These maps are continually updated and provide tools to take advantage of FEMA's resources. 

With this knowledge you can begin the process of setting up flood insurance. The cost may vary from region to region but is well worth should a rising water storm event occur.

If you have experinced water damage as a result of rising water flooding please do not hesitate to call SERVPRO of Alexandria.
