SERVPRO of Joliet - Hurricane Harvey

SERVPRO of Joliet in Houston for Hurricane Harvey

In September of 2017 the SERVPRO of Joliet traveled to the Houston area to help with the relief effort left behind from Hurricane Harvey.  This is a video of the water mitigation dryout after the demolition has taken place.

There is always potential for flood damage no matter where you live. According to the American Red Cross floods cause more damage in the United States every year than any other weather-related disaster. The American Red Cross offers these flood safety tips:

-Stay away from floodwaters. If you come up on a flowing stream where water is above your ankles, stop, turn around and go another way. Six inches of swiftly moving water can sweep you off of your feet.

-If you approach a flooded road while driving, turn around and go another way. If you are caught on a flooded road and waters are riding rapidly around you, get out of the car quickly and move to higher ground. Most cars can be swept away by less than two feet of moving water.

-Keep children out of the water. They are curious and often lack judgment about running water or contaminated water.
