Health hazards of flooded homes…What should you look for? On top of helping over 31,000 guests at the Hotze Health & Wellness Center in 25 years, Dr. Steven F. Hotze, M.D. and founder of the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, is taking charge to help families and victims from the devastation of Hurricane Harvey along with thousands of other much-needed and much-appreciated volunteers throughout the Houston area. Around 200 people attended our Hurricane Harvey Flood Recovery Meeting in Katy filled with informative and entertaining speakers featuring builders, attorneys, real-estate agents and more. There are numerous medical hazards in flood-damaged homes from the molds and black water that got into houses; Sewers backed up, mixed with water throughout the city and found its way into numerous homes around the Gulf Coast. If you try to sell your home, a mold count will be taken for records; If there is in fact mold, it will be much harder to sell your home. Perhaps most unfortunately, 82% of Houstonians don’t have the proper flood insurance to fully repair their homes, so it’s important to learn the most efficient ways to rebuild your home from trustworthy sources. We will be putting on another event this Saturday, September 23rd so you can learn more about what to do with your flooded home and the relating health hazards, remediation process, selling options, legal remedies and more.
Lastly, we’re sorry to say that Dr. Ed Young’s wife, Joe Beth, passed away this past weekend. Please send your prayers to Dr. Ed Young and his family. You can also still donate to Second Baptist’s efforts to help the Hurricane Harvey victims throughout all six of their campuses throughout the Houston area at www.Second.org.
