You might not think flooding is a concern during the summer months, but any time water is involved, a flood can be a problem - it doesn’t even have to be a significant event! 

Let’s discuss how flooding can become an issue during summertime in the Hermitage/Donelson area. 

How Can A Flood Develop During The Summer Months?

There are several ways a flood can develop during summertime:

• Heavy rain or tornadic activity
• Appliance or machinery failure
• Burst pipes
• Overflowing pools
• Flash floods
