Servpro of San Antonio and UNITS Serve the Texas Hill Country

When the storm arrived it was quiet. It came like a hunter in the night. Existing as a cloud in the autumn air, then suddenly descending on the Texas Hill Country en masse. Heavy rain could be heard from all rooms in the apartment complex, disaster building all the while. In the same way the storm arrived, the complex in San Antonio was flooded. Pieces of the ceiling fell into the rooms of the residents while their belongings slowly steeped in the Texas rainwater.

What was a resident to do? Someone needed to be called to take care of this? Who would you call? A landlord would be a good option. But this was not your regular afternoon storm. It arrived silently in the middle of the night. An optimal option would be to call someone that is available all day and night. Depending on the day of the week, you may not have many options. Some local businesses aren’t open 7 days a week. There are a select few however that are open at all hours on all days.

Servpro of San Antonio is one of those companies. Servpro is the water mitigation, fire restoration, and biohazard cleanup team that is available whenever you need them. They pack away your belongings in a UNITS portable storage container on site, while also restoring your home. On this night, Servpro arrived at the apartments the residents affected by the storm

“We have a team of 20 and everybody was out there”, said Janet Padilla, Office Manager at Servpro San Antonio. “Our team walked through the complex and a lot of people were asking, ‘Hey can you help me I’m next door’ it was a lot of next door, door to door which isn’t usually the case.”

When other residents saw how much the well trained and experienced crew was helping the residents who called Servepro, they came up to the team and asked them to help them as well. This small community was helped in rescuing their homes and belongings from permanent damage by a massive storm.

These professionals provided safety and comfort to the residents by storing their belongings on-site. They packed out the rooms of all the residents and stored them in portable storage containers so they could access their belongings whenever they needed to.
