Residential Storm Cleanup

As we move closer and closer to the end of hurricane season on the East Coast, millions of people are cleaning up from devastating storms. These storms, if they did not completely destroy property, left behind plenty of damage in their wake. This damage includes water, sand, debris, and much more. Here’s how Tsurumi pumps can help you with residential storm cleanup following any type of storm.

If you live in a flood-prone area it’s a good idea to not only have a generator at the ready but also a pump that you can install during or after a storm. A pump will be able to help you remove debris and water from your home should it flood during the storm. Now, you might not be able to remove all of the water, especially if your home floods so much that the entire first floor is flooded.

It’s a good idea to wait to use the pump until after the storm passes. You will only be fighting a losing battle to have it running on the generator during the storm. You will want the generator to focus on powering the rest of your home, for the air conditioning, refrigerator, and any medical equipment that might be in use like an oxygen tank.

Before you install the pump make sure it is out of harm’s way. You don’t want debris banging into it when it is running. You also must make sure that the generator is strong enough to power the pump for the job. If you feel that the pump is struggling at all to remove water or debris from your home it’s best to turn it off and unplug it.

Don’t wait until it’s too late. Purchase Tsurumi pumps before a storm is even forecast to hit your area so you don’t have to worry about them not being at your home in time.
