Yes and we have the Experts who can Help You!

Hurricanes and other powerful coastal storms are commonplace in the Newark area.  Heavy rains, strong winds, and related storm surges backing water up into local rivers and streams, raise water levels several feet above normal. 

In just the last ten years, seven major hurricanes/tropical storms have affected the region and contributed to extensive flood damage in Newark.  Hurricane Sandy, one of the worst storms in U.S. history, passed almost directly over the area in 2012 and deluged it with multiple inches of rain.  Considering all this, residents should be mindful of the potential for these superstorms and the catastrophic flood damage they can cause.
