Melting Snow Causes Flooding in Pittston

Winter Weather can cause Severe Water Damage

Flooding in Pittston from High River Levels

When the recent snow began to melt it added water to the ground that drained away in the same way as water from rainfall. Plus we had a measurable rain fall. As snow accumulates and becomes compacted during the winter the ratio of snow to water decreases. As us in NEPA have noted, we started the winter off strong a snow storm followed by rain storm.  As the temperatures rose to near 50 the following week, we saw freezing and melting of water surfaces.  The snow that melted from the high temps and large rain fall drained and melted into the River. Some homes along the line of the river or in low areas experienced water damage to their homes or businesses. If you had a problem like this, call us. We can help!
