How Culligan Can Help

Post-Hurricane Water Treatment Services in the Gulf Coast

After a hurricane, your water softener may be exposed to high levels of contaminants, sediment, and even saltwater intrusion. Our expert Culligan team will assess your system for any storm-related damage, including electrical component checks and resin bed inspection. We’ll ensure your water softener is working efficiently, providing you with softened, safe water even after severe weather. If necessary, we’ll also perform a sanitization process to eliminate any potential contamination.

Hurricanes can introduce a variety of pollutants into the water supply. Our Culligan professionals will service your under-sink reverse osmosis (RO) system to make sure it’s providing the highest quality filtration. We will inspect the membrane and filters for damage or clogging from storm debris and flush the system thoroughly. In some cases, replacing the filters or membranes may be required to restore optimal water purification.

Whole house water filtration systems often bear the brunt of post-hurricane water issues. Culligan’s trained technicians will inspect your entire system for signs of damage, sediment build-up, or contamination from storm runoff. We’ll replace any necessary filters and ensure your system is back to removing harmful impurities from your water. This service is especially important for homes that may have been impacted by flooding, which can bring unexpected contaminants into the water supply.
