Our Work In Houston

9/28/2017 (Permalink)

For the last month, we have had crews in Houston helping other SERVPRO franchises clean up flood damaged homes and businesses.  We frequently send crews out of town to help other SERVPRO franchises when a large disaster such as a hurricane or flood affects their area.  

Our first round of crews left Huntsville on August 29th.  They were loaded up with equipment and supplies and had quite a long drive.  Because flood damaged materials must be removed for proper restoration, they faced hard work removing flooring and drywall day after day.  They also work long hours and weekends.  After two weeks, we always swap out our crews.  The original crews need and deserve a rest after all of their hard work and the new crews are rested and ready to help those who need it.  

We operate on a wait list and were given a list of 50 homeowners needing our help when we arrived.   Eventually that list grew to 80 names. Our primary focus is to remove damaged materials and dry out the home as quickly as possible to prevent secondary damage and mold growth.  We also want to save as much of the homeowner's belongings as possible.  

Our crews received raving reviews from many of the homeowners that they worked so hard to help.  We are very proud of their efforts and hard work!  

Great job, SERVPRO TEAM!
