SERVPRO of Lakeland is proud to announce that they have been assisting in the storm response clean up efforts in the Nashville, TN area during the month of February. Recent extreme drops in temperature have resulted in thousands of broken pipes in residential and commercial properties throughout the region prompting the local SERVPRO franchise to call in disaster clean up teams from throughout the southeast, and SERVPRO of Lakeland was chosen as one of the top franchises called in to assist in the efforts.
SERVPRO of Lakeland Owner, Larry Riddle, stated: “We are very familiar with assisting in this type of cleanup, as this is the second consecutive year we have been called in by another franchise to assist in a widespread freeze disaster”.
After several days of frozen temperatures and harsh weather, homes experienced frozen gutters that prevented run off and caused back up of water. This affected inner wall cavities, wood flooring, and carpeting caused water damage throughout many homes. SERVPRO of Lakeland responded quickly to the flooding and helped save homeowners thousands of dollars on potentially costly mold issues and reconstruction.

SERVPRO of Lakeland will be completing the remainder jobs and should be able to deem all 13 residents that they completed work in dry this afternoon, and will be heading to their home territory to resume work in Lakeland, Fl.
