storm damage in westminster can cause damage to your home Stay safe during storms in Westminster, CO.

SERVPRO of Broomfield/Arvada understands that floods are a common natural disaster in the U.S.  Flooding can happen near major bodies of water, but also inland. They can come with no warning which is known as a “flash flood.” They can also develop quickly or slowly near your Westminster home or office.

Floods:

  • Come from rain, snow, hurricanes, tornadoes, and storm surges
  • Can cause power or water outages
  • Damage buildings
  • Make roads impassable
  • Sweep away people, animals, or cars
  • Overflows of dams or other water systems
  • Create landslides

If you are in a flood in Westminster:

  • If you have a warning, get to a safe place
  • Don’t drive around barricades
  • Don’t walk, swim, or drive through flood waters. 
  • Six inches of moving water can knock a person down. Twelve inches of moving water can sweep a car away
  • Stay off bridges over fast-moving water. The water can wash bridges away
  • If your car is trapped in quickly moving water, stay inside. If the water rises inside the vehicle, climb onto the roof
  • If you are trapped in a building, go to the highest level. Do NOT climb into a closed attic. Floodwater can trap you. Go to the roof only if there is no other escape
