    Gallatin, Tennessee, August 30, 2017—SERVPRO’s Disaster Recovery Team has been activated to help residents and business owners in storm-damaged areas on the Texas coast, throughout the Houston area, and in western Louisiana. SERVPRO’s Disaster Recovery Teams will be assisting the 121 local Franchises already located in the affected areas. SERVPRO has more than 1,000 crews ready to mobilize, with nearly 300 crews already on the ground ready to assist home and business owners.

    After the water begins to recede and authorities determine it is safe for residents to return to their property, there are several steps that can be taken to prevent additional damage from occurring. SERVPRO® suggests the following steps to help minimize additional damage to your property while waiting for disaster professionals to arrive.

    • If the water has entered the structure through the flooding of a creek, stream or river, or if it has filtered through insulation during its intrusion, it is considered to be black water and could be hazardous to your health. Avoid contact with contaminated items as much as possible.
    • Take the greatest caution while entering your home, and wear sturdy shoes and protective clothing when dealing with flooded areas.
    • Do not attempt to operate any electrical equipment while standing in wet or damp locations.
    • Throw away all foods—even canned goods—that have come into contact with floodwaters.
    • Remove and prop wet upholstery and pillow cushions for drying. Wipe excess water from wood furniture after removal of lamps and tabletop items.
    • If your home has a crawlspace, be aware excess moisture in this area can often foster mold growth.
