The official start of Hurricane Season is June 1st and runs all the way through November 30th. Here at SERVPRO, this can be a very busy time of year for us. Last year, a record breaking 30 storms developed in the Atlantic, with 13 becoming hurricanes and then 6 becoming major hurricanes, according to the NOAA. 

These storms can bring a large amount of damage and devastation. Peoples homes will flood and their belongings will be destroyed, that is where we come in. We travel to these places along with dozens of other SERVPRO franchises to help out and take some of the workload off of the local franchises.

This year the NOAA is predicting 13-20 storms, 6-10 of which could become hurricanes. So if things go according to their predictions, this could be another very busy summer and fall for SERVPRO's all over the country.
