Storms involving heavy rainfall can cause ground flooding. These floods often result in water damage to homes and businesses. On the surfaces the damage may appear as a minor loss, but can quickly escalate into a major catastrophe. However small or big your storm damage is SERVPRO of Cherry Hill/Haddonfield is here to help!

A sump pump is much like a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher, or your home’s security system; there is rarely a time when you actually need to use it, but it can be an essential tool if a dire situation occurs. Sump pumps help mitigate and prevent such situations by quickly draining flood water from the basement of a home through an external discharge pipe. And like most emergency equipment, it is important to make sure that your sump pump is well maintained and free of mechanical problems. Otherwise, you may one day find yourself with a flooded basement and thousands of dollars in damages.

It may be easier to prevent a leak if you know the age of your hot water heater. 

You can find the age of your water heater by looking at the manufacturer sticker on the upper portion of the water heater. It will have the brand name and many different numbers and small symbols. Try to find the serial number or manufacturer date.

This date will not be exactly when your water heater was installed, but it will tell you how old the tank is. The serial number will have a date code for example "F051052638". F is for the month - F is the sixth letter so it represents the sixth month, June. Next the first two digits of the serial number are 05, this represents the year, 2005. A water heater with the serial number F05052638 was made in June 2005. Each manufacturer has a similar "code date" for their product, some are easier than others to figure out, if you can not figure out the age of your water check the manufacturers website for the way to crack their "code".
