1-800-WATER DAMAGE OPENS NEW FRANCHISE IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NEW YORK

Seattle, Wash. Just one week before the devastating nor'easter hit Westchester County, NY, Mike Stewart opened his new business, the Westchester County franchise of 1-800-WATER DAMAGE, the nation's leading franchise specializing in water damage restoration for homes and businesses.  

Mike, who has over 20 years of experience as a technician and executive manager in carpet cleaning, water and fire damage services, was looking forward to promoting his new business. "You know, this business is all about ensuring home owners and businesses get back to normal as quickly and cost effectively as possible," Mike said, "but the challenges faced by so many residents and business owners here after the storm in April was anything but a "normal" flood situation, which was truly daunting."

County officials have established a Disaster Recovery Fund to provide financial aid to victims of that storm and future disasters.  Although the storm got Mike's new business off to a fast start, he's looking forward to providing normal services to customers.

1-800-WATER DAMAGE, with approximately 45 locations operating across the United States, offers homes and businesses a wide array of water damage restoration services, including:  water extraction: basement, crawl space and structural drying; dehumidifying; odor removal and disinfecting.  Technicians respond to customers within 90 minutes.
