During heavy rains and storms flooding occurs.  When the water rises to a certain depth within a structure it may be necessary to perform a flood cut.  Here you can see where we assisted a resident that had an enormous amount of rising water.  SERPVRO of Athens performed a flood cut and cleaned the debris and removed it from the home.  We then set drying equipment to further dry the structure.

Recently Athens, Georgia has been experiencing an abundance of floods due to rainwater.  Rising water is not clean water and can bring many contaminants into your home.  Mold spores are often left behind and travel throughout your structure rapidly.  It is imperative that you dry your structure properly in order to reduce the risk of mold growth.

Our teams works together to help you during storm events.  SERVPRO of Athens is part of a storm team that travels to nearby locations to assist with disaster relief.  As always awareness and preparedness are important for all Georgians, so know your risk, make an emergency plan and stay aware.

As a coastal state, Georgia is at risk for hurricanes that form in the southern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico.  Although Athens is not as close to either of these coast lines the catastrophic damage can reach even hundreds of miles inland.  Always know what to during a catastrophic event. 

SERVPRO of Athens assists with many types of disasters.  Our team has traveled as far as Houston, Texas to aid victims of storms.  While traveling we came across the SERVPRO Disaster Recovery Team.  Our franchise is a part of this recovery team that consists of various franchises who work together to help those who have been affected by disastrous situations.

Our thoughts are with those of you who have been affected by Hurricane Harvey!  SERVPRO of Athens is on the way to assist those in need.  We are part of the Storm Team at SERVPRO.  We work with other franchises to respond quickly to the flooding and help get your property back to pre-storm condition.
