Wilmington NC after Hurricane Florence

Our SERVPRO Greensboro North team welcome home residents as they return back home to Plantation Village in Wilmington, NC after hurricane Florence

SERVPRO Greensboro North, aided in and assisted in Wilmington, NC after Hurricane Florence. Upon arrival we could barely get into Wilmington due to high waters and major flooding caused by both storm surge and rainfall. After driving in through high floodwaters, one location we assisted with was the Plantation Village Retirement Center. Most residents homes experienced flood damage, as did the offices and common areas. Residents and staff had to be evacuated while work was going on. Ironically they ended up sheltered at a hotel in Greensboro, NC which is the area we operate from and cover regularly. 

SERVPRO Greensboro North handled drying up any remaining water. Saving what we could, we tore out walls and tore up floors in other areas where we needed in order to replace with dry and new materials. Mold is always a concern and will grow often immediately after flooding begins to recede or dry up. We took all measures to remove mold so that residents could return to not only a dry area, but to a safe area as well. It was and always is our pleasure to be on hand during trying times and to assist after these disastrous storms. 

Many people are still, even now in November, recovering their homes and businesses from recent storms. Remember SERVPRO Greensboro North is always here 24/7 for you to call on for assistance. If we are not in your immediate area, as part of the storm crew we may be sent out to your area. If we are not being sent out to you, we will be certain that we connect you to your local SERVPRO for assistance. Just call us at SERVPRO Greensboro North. 336-379-1772
