Hurricane Ida: Flooded Hotel

9/2/2021 (Permalink)

Our team responded to this building damaged from Hurricane Ida in New Orleans.

Hurricane Ida was recorded as the second most intense hurricane to strike the state of Louisiana, only behind Hurricane Katrina, and is tied for the strongest landfall in the state with Hurricane Laura which landed only a year prior. Ida was the second major hurricane of the 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season. Ida formed on August 26th in the Caribbean and struck Louisiana just three days later on August 29, 2021 - the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The residents of South Louisiana were left with very little notice to prepare due to the rapid and dangerous formation of Hurricane Ida. 

Anticipating damage, our clients alerted us of a building they managed that would most likely experience flooding or catastrophic wind damage. Following Hurricane Ida, the building indeed sustained severe damage. SERVPRO of Baldwin County responded to the call from our clients with supplemental power, drying equipment, trained personnel, and essential resources in order to restore the property quickly and efficiently.

There are many complexities when it comes to water restoration following a hurricane. Preparation is key because it can be very difficult to locate adequate resources as everyone else is trying to do the same. The recovery process after a major hurricane can be long and arduous. But, by having a relationship with a reputable restoration contractor such as SERVPRO, you will be steps ahead in getting your life back to normal.
