Protect Your Belongings

• Store off-season and other bulk belongings in waterproof bins, especially in areas where there are plumbing pipes or that are prone to dampness
• Never store valuables or memorabilia where there is a risk of destruction from water
• Keep belongings stored on shelving off the floor in basements.In case of water seepage or sewer backup, they're less likely to get damaged.
• Keep an inventory of all belongings. Having a comprehensive list of your possessions will save time, trouble, and stress in case of loss from water damage.
