Record Rainfall Hits Northwest Indiana

Our technician is wearing protective gear while removing layers of carpet from this flooded home in Saint John, Indiana.

In February, Northwest Indiana was hit with heavy snow followed by several days of rain. The ground was still frozen and rainwater had nowhere to go.

SERVPRO of Benton, Jasper, Newton and Southern Lake Counties were ready to assist in this storm situation! Our crews were out day and night to help as many people as possible.

One home in Saint John had water seep in through the patio doors.  Our crew pulled up two layers of carpet to reach the concrete subfloor. The carpet was disposed of due to water damage. In situations like this, our employees use personal protective equipment to ensure their own safety. In this picture, you see our employee wearing a face mask, shoe covers, gloves and a Tyvek suit. This minimizes the chance that she will get sick from the water while completing remediation.

If you need help with a water loss in your home or business, call 219-779-7577. SERVPRO is here to help!
