When Fox26 Houston needed a disaster restoration expert, they called one of us.

Stanley Hallibaugh, Business Development Manager from our Houston branch, recently sat down with Fox26 to break down what area home and business owners need to know about flooding, wind damage, and water intrusion this hurricane season, plus how to bounce back if disaster strikes.

Knowledge is your first line of defense. We're proud to have Stanley out there sharing it!

During this stormy season, National Lightning Safety Awareness Week serves as a timely reminder to take lightning seriously and review essential safety tips for storms. It's easy to underestimate, but lightning is a real threat to your home — not just from a direct strike, but from the fires and electrical surges that can follow.

• If you hear thunder, stay off corded phones and away from anything plugged into an outlet — lightning can travel through wiring and plumbing.
• Skip the shower or sink until the storm passes.
• Keep some distance from windows and exterior doors.
• Consider whole-home surge protection for your electronics and appliances.
• A professionally installed lightning protection system can help direct a strike safely into the ground instead of through your home.

Storms happen fast, but a little preparation can save you a lot of stress (and money) later. And if you ever do need help recovering from storm damage, we're here 24/7/365.
