						<p>Hurricane Harvey <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Harvey">devastated Texas earlier this month</a> with intense flooding throughout much of the Houston area and surrounding communities. Many families lost a lot of their belongings, and also likely damaged their smartphones in the floods. Now, Google is teaming up with local repair shops to offer a bit of relief.</p>

<p>In case you missed it, <a href="https://9to5google.com/2016/10/21/google-pixel-repair/">shortly after the Pixel&#8217;s debut</a>, Google teamed up with the repair business uBreakiFix to offer same day Pixel repairs across the United States and Canada for all Pixel and Pixel XL devices. It&#8217;s great to be able to get a flat rate for broken screens and water damage, but what&#8217;s even better is what Google has made available for owners affected by Harvey.</p>
<p>Since the Pixel and Pixel XL both lack water resistance, it&#8217;s incredibly likely that a number of people in the area lost their Pixels thanks to damage from the floodwaters.</p>
<p>To help ease the pain a bit for those people, <a href="https://www.ubreakifix.com/blog/free-houston-google-pixel-repairs">Google and uBreakiFix have teamed up to offer repairs</a> for both Pixel models completely free of charge for users in the area, whatever that may entail. Generally, a Pixel screen replacement from uBreakiFix lands at about $130, so it&#8217;s great to see the two companies working to offer these sort of repairs for free.</p>
<p>Affected customers can get their devices repaired at any of the uBreakiFix locations listed below between now and September 30th. Both appointments and walk-ins are welcome at any of those shops.</p>
