Beware! It can happen to you in Seaside Heights, N.J.

The amount of water you can wade in safely at the beach doesn’t mean it is safe on the road. It only takes a tiny amount of water, maybe just an inch or two, to cause hydroplaning and loss of control of your vehicle.

And if you encounter six inches of flood waters, you can be in big trouble. You not only can hydroplane and lose control, but when you stop, your car can stall, leaving you stranded.

Add in another six inches of water and now your car can float away, with you inside of it!

You think big trucks are safe? Normally, they are, but it only takes two feet of surging flood waters to float away a big truck. And even vehicles can at times need a mold inspection in Seaside Heights, N.J.

So play it safe. Stay in when there are reports of flooding. And when you must travel when there is heavy rain, stick to designated (and safe) driving routes.

While your water damage in Seaside Heights, N.J. pro can handle anything that happens in your home, such as a flooded basement, he won’t be much help if you are in your car and you are floating away!
