Rising Water Creates Stressful Times for Homeowners

SERVPRO of Hyde Park / Central Austin helps dozens after Austin Texas was hit with heavy rains.  Austin and surrounding cities were experiencing many flooded homes.  Rising water is a very challenging flood for home owners.   Any type of loss in someone's home is very stressful and time consuming for the owners.  However rising water is one I would say tops all other water losses.  The main reason is due to the amount of demo required to meeting IICRC S500 standards.  There is lots of rebuild and usually lots of home affected and contractors are busy making things even more difficult.  Even though times are stressful and a good contractor may be back up longer than you want.  I do not recommend short cutting the proper procedures for your home.
