Ah, Spring: The Season of Floods

3/29/2022 (Permalink)

Spring is an easy season to love; however, for those of us in New England, springtime can be too short and, often, well… soggy. Some seasons have proven tougher than others, however, and a little perspective can go a long way when it comes to withstanding a few rainy days in a row. 

Take, for example, the Spring Floods of 1936. 

This historic weather event caused serious storm damage across New England, to the tune of $113,000,000, and took the lives of 24 people, leaving 77,000 homeless. When it came to water damage, Hooksett, NH won the “prize” with Main Street drowning under an estimated 18-20 feet of water. 

While it’s hard to imagine what water damage restoration looked like back then, we’ve got all the modern methods, strategies, and equipment to handle any water damage this spring season might deliver.
