SERVPRO of San Diego City SW and Hurricane Harvey

4/2/2018 (Permalink)

Here's one of our owners, Ben, walking back to the car after doing a walk through for a family affected by Hurricane Harvey.

Back when Hurricane Harvey struck the Gulf Coast in 2017, we all knew pretty quickly that the devastation would be wide and massive. What we didn't know is that so many of our incredible team members would volunteer to uproot themselves from their daily life here in San Diego and travel to Texas to assist with cleanup efforts.

Once we got word that floodwaters were receding, 6 of our team members as well as our two owners, Ben and Jordan, made the drive out to Houston where we had rented an AirBnB and began cleanup efforts for a number of families in the greater Houston area.

All in all, our team was out there for about 5-6 weeks. They said goodbye to their families and normal lives, because they knew this was a historic opportunity to assist families who needed the help getting back into their homes.

We made lasting relationships and our clients have invited us to stay with them anytime we're back in town! Though hopefully next time it'll be for fun, and not for a natural disaster cleanup.
