Storm surge flooding from the Severn River
Why it happens here
Sherwood Forest sits directly on the Severn River, and storm surge pushes water into the community during hurricanes and nor'easters. Homes near Sherwood Forest Beach and the waterfront flood first. The water is often contaminated with sewage and debris.
Our approach
We treat every storm surge flood as a Category 3 loss. We pump out the water, remove ruined materials, and disinfect the space. We use desiccant dehumidifiers to dry the structure fast and prevent mold growth.
