Flood Control, LLC. Mobilizes to Michigan to Aid Those Suffering From Flooding

Flood Control has mobilized its fleet of technicians to assist those suffering from flooding.

2011-05-29

BOHEMIA, NY, May 29, 2011 (Press-News.org) In light of recent flooding in Michigan, Flood Control, LLC. has recently mobilized its CAT Teams (Catastrophic Loss Teams) from its major offices in New York and Illinois to help assist those who have felt the effects of the inclement weather. Flood Control - a nationwide restoration company - has dispatched two box trucks to the area to set up an emergency response team that is ready to take on all incoming disaster recovery situations.

Excessive rain pouring down in Michigan has caused the ground to become extremely saturated and as a result, localized flooding has taken place. Nearby rivers and streams have overflowed their banks so low-lying areas have become flooded as well. Many residents are complaining of flooded basements, water damage to their walls and furniture and even mold. Cities such as Detroit, Livonia, Southfield, Warren and Canton have all been affected by the devastating weather and residents are urged to be careful.

"When a combination of heavy rain and overflowing river banks hit an area, residents are usually taken aback from the resulting water damage," says Flood Control Partner, Steven Hittelman. "It doesn't take long for water to accumulate quickly and flood a person's residence." The best way to deal with water damage is to be prepared and act quickly. With Flood Control already on the scene, with abled technicians and equipment, they are ready for anything.

Flood Control has been in the forefront of flooding disasters for years. Last year Flood Control played a crucial role when it mobilized all of its fleets to help with the massive flooding in Tennessee. Flood Control serviced both commercial and residential properties and spent a significant amount of time in the area to make sure everyone was accommodated for. The cleanup and assistance effort in Tennessee was a great success.

Flood Control, LLC. specializes in flood damage repair, water damage removal, sewage cleanup, mold remediation and fire damage restoration. Flood Control, Inc. can be reached at its national number at 1-800-973-0041. Please visit http://www.floodcontroller.com/ and http://www.facebook.com/FloodControlInc for more information.

2011-05-29

A new treatment that treats a subset of stroke patients by combining minimally invasive surgery, an imaging technique likened to "GPS for the brain," and the clot-busting drug t-PA appears to be safe and effective, according to a multicenter clinical trial led by Johns Hopkins researchers.

Falling on deaf ears

2011-05-29

How can someone with perfectly normal hearing become deaf to the world around them when their mind is on something else? New research funded by the Wellcome Trust suggests that focusing heavily on a task results in the experience of deafness to perfectly audible sounds. In a study published in the journal Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, researchers at UCL (University College London) demonstrate for the first time this phenomenon, which they term 'inattentional deafness'.

The importance of 'inner values' -- female sparrows test the genetic make-up of their mates

2011-05-29

How do females select partners? Darwin's initial idea that the fittest males would be the most desirable and would therefore be most likely to secure partners has represented a cornerstone of evolutionary theory since the publication of "The Descent of Man" in 1871. Darwin proposed that secondary sexual characteristics enabled females to see at a glance which male was "best", i.e. best for every female. This male would be the chosen partner as he would pass on the best possible genes to the next generation, thereby increasing the fitness of the species. Towards the ...
