There were 16 tropical storms in the 2008 season. The average is only 10. But there was nothing average about Hurricane “Gustav”, one of the five tropical storms in ’08 to become a major hurricane.. Gustav triggered the largest evacuation in U.S. history. As highways leading out of Baton Rouge, Louisiana choked with traffic, the start of the LSU football season was moved to a 10 a.m. saturday morning kickoff to avoid a conflict between game day crowds and contra-flow traffic leaving the city.
Gustav all but crippled Baton Rouge’s sources of supply. For days following the storm there was no water, no ice and no power.
TRC went immediately to work for Hobby Lobby, a large retail customer – extracting water standing in the aisles of its Baton Rouge store. Drying and dehumidification equipment was put in place to provide environmental controls thus preserving store inventory. Because TRC’s large fleet of drying equipment is virtually self-sustaining, TRC was able to immediately start restoring the customer’s operation. With its own power and sources of supply, even a massive breakdown in the city’s infrastructure could not deter TRC from providing its customers with full restoration services.
emergency, call TRC: the leader in property damage restoration for over 21 years.
