Storm Team-Resource for wide spread flooding.
8/20/2018 (Permalink)
The rains this past week were unprecedented and have resulted in flooded basements throughout Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties. Monday night we fielded over 50 calls on our after hours line and more the following several days.
One advantage SERVPRO provides is our ability to handle widespread storm damage by utilizing other local franchises or by activating our storm teams. In this incidence our storm team was activated which means we called upon franchises throughout the Eastern part of the country to help families recover from this devastating storm. All in all, between the storm team and the Carbondale/Clarks Summit/Old Forge and Hazleton/Dallas/Harveys Lake franchises we were able to help close to 100 families recover from flooded basements.
Hopefully this area does not experience another storm like this, but if it does, know SERVPRO has the experience and resources to address large scale flooding issues. We are "always here to help."
