With hurricane season already underway, homeowners
have a lot to think about in the coming months.
Preparing for the stormy season looks like more than
just having your pantry stocked and your shutters ready.
Parkland resident and Owner/Founder of MVP
Environmental Solutions, Inc., Leo Gordon, reminds us
that the best time to have your hurricane remediation
and restoration plan in place is not when a storm hits or
even gets named. The best time to prepare is now,
before all the buzz.
Leo and his team at MVP note that, first and foremost,
you should stay up to date on the storm’s progress and
severity as hurricane paths change rapidly. Stock up on
enough food and water for your family for three days,
and always keep a first aid kit handy.
Gathering and securing important documents, especially
your homeowner’s insurance information, should
be at the top of your list. You should also notate important
phone numbers, such as the county emergency
management office, evacuation sites, doctors, and a
trusted water damage mitigation company.
Lucky for South Florida homeowners, Leo and his team
are highly experienced with water damage restoration in
the wake of storms. MVP was involved in disaster
response and restoration projects as far back as
Hurricane Katrina, Hurricanes Jeanne and Frances, as
well as Hurricane Rita. As well as more recent storms
such as Hurricane Irma and Michael. Decades of experience
combined with groundbreaking technology make
MVP the "Most Valuable Professionals" in the water
damage restoration industry.
However, Leo and his team encourage people to stay
vigilant as water damage doesn’t have to be due to
something as extreme as a natural disaster. Pipes burst
and homes flood for all sorts of reasons, but in any case,
it’s of the utmost urgency to call an expert like Leo upon
the first indication of a leak. In just 24 hours following the
onset of damage due to water, mold can begin to grow,
inviting a world of unprecedented dangers into your
home.
As a family-owned and operated company, MVP always
puts the health and safety of its clients before anything.
Upon arrival, the experts at MVP will first and foremost
determine whether the water is safe for the building’s
occupants. They will then take calculated steps to prevent
further damage, which includes specialized equipment
to eliminate the possibility of any secondary damage,
such as rot or mold. Following the initial emergency
response, the team will continue to monitor the situation
so that you can get back to your routine as quickly and
safely as possible.
MVP Environmental Solutions has a robust presence in
the Parkland and Coral Springs communities. Leo
proudly serves as the Vice President of the Parkland
Chamber of Commerce as well as a board member for
the Parkland Parks and Rec Advisory Board. His company
is an active participant in local charities, including
Parkland Buddy Sports and Run 4 Biegel. Fundraising
events are one way Leo has been able to involve even
his youngest children in the family business.
