Helping in the Aftermath of Hurricane Ida

The Disaster Recovery Team of highly trained water restoration technicians worked diligently to get these homes back to their previous condition.

The state of Louisiana, and New Orleans in particular, is no stranger to destructive, intense hurricanes. Hurricane Ida hit the state as a Category 4 storm, destroying homes, infrastructure, and nature along the way. While the city bounces back fairly quickly, rural areas are still left with massive amounts of destruction and, in many cases, no power. Hurricane Ida came on strong with 150-mph winds and was responsible for more than 24 deaths throughout the state. When disaster strikes in cases like this, it is critical to have a team of support in a variety of capacities.

SERVPRO of East Coral Springs acted quickly in our pursuit of lending a helping hand. When we arrived in New Orleans, we saw that there was a desperate need for water damage restoration and storm damage repairs. As usual, our team of damage restoration experts got to work immediately. The on-site team had to take down damage ceilings, remove most of the flooring, and cut through walls in order to dry the exterior.

In most cases, water damage had come in through the roof or window and was thus spreading rapidly – attacking the ceilings, walls, and floors. The Disaster Recovery Team of highly trained water restoration technicians worked diligently to get these homes back to their previous condition. As large-loss specialists, we were able to get to New Orleans in record time, assess the damage, and begin our restoration efforts.

When a catastrophic storm hits, devastation is inevitable. However, with our team on your side we are able to mitigate damage, repair quickly, and restore your home properly. While storms are unpredictable, you can always count on us to arrive with helping hands!
