Stay Safe This Hurricane Season!

6/29/2023 (Permalink)

Hurricane season has begun, posing the threat of severe storms until the end of November.  SERVPRO of Lancaster East and Southern Lancaster County provides 24/7 emergency services for when disasters strike in our local area!  We also are part of a nationwide network of franchises who answer the call for help when hurricanes or tornadoes leave a devastating impact on a community.

During hurricane season, it is important to be aware of the risks for your area and to prepare for the worst.  Check your local weather alerts and news channels for warnings of severe weather.  Before and after a storm occurs, inspect the interior and exterior of your property for signs of structural issues that can lead to water or storm damage in the future.

Evacuation plans and emergency kits are critical during extreme weather circumstances and power outages.  If your property is drastically damaged by a storm and you have safely exited the premises, do not re-enter the structure until you are told it is safe to do so by the authorities.  Electrical surges, roof collapses and other highly dangerous factors can come into play after a storm has occurred.

After a storm damage event, SERVPRO of Lancaster East and Southern Lancaster County’s restoration professionals are here to help restore any size property to preloss conditions.  We are proud to assist the local area with their needs, and we also provide a free Emergency READY Profile to help prepare facilities for when storm, water or fire damage occurs.  This assessment includes critical information about a building such as water and gas shut-offs so that business owners can quickly prevent further damage to the structure and lessen the time it takes to get the business running again.

SERVPRO assists local homeowners and business owners with their disaster recovery needs throughout the entire process.  We are proud to have the resources, knowledge and expertise to provide these emergency services to the Lancaster area!
