Storm Damage

Storm damage was extensive throughout Lackawanna County

Pictured here is our crew cleaning up some of the damage from Monday's storm. The damage from a series of thunderstorms across Lackawanna County was extensive. The deluge of water was too much for some roofs, foundations and sewer systems, causing extensive flooding throughout. Any flooding (water from outside coming into a building) is considered contaminated water and thus category 3. When the water comes from the sewer system, it could become a health issue. Professional mitigation companies like SERVPRO of Carbondale/Clarks Summit/Old Forge are called to return the structure to a safe living and working environment. Don't try cleaning up the damage yourself; we have highly trained crew who dry and clean to IICRC and OSHA standards to maximize the health and safety of all involved.
