On Sept. 25 when Hurricane Florence came up the coast and hit Westport with 7.5 inches of rain in a short amount of time, water overflowed my patio and came down the walls to my basement causing a flood that paralyzed me. I stared at the water getting higher and higher not knowing what to do.
I called in a favor from the management company of my condominium. The property manager I spoke to had Dodi Millette call me back within a half hour. She was so calm and made some suggestions on what to do immediately. What I didn't know at the time was that there were major commercial and residential floodings in the entire area.
She put my mind at ease and once I had the water more or less contained I felt a little better.
The next day Dodi kept in contact with me with an estimated arrival for the ServPro team to vacuum out the water on the floor and in my rugs. They cleaned my floors and spray to prevent mold growth, and they set up fans and air blowers to hasten the drying out process.
By the time Bekim and his team showed up,I had realized that my condo complex had more than my unit to work on. Eventually I found myself working with the ServPro team that was helping other neighbors get their basements dried and cleaned . Andrew Rossi worked with our property maintenance head going in and out of other units that got damaged so he could schedule teams to come in and remediate. Water was vacuumed up, carpets, padding and vinyl flooring was taken out, drywall was cut where water wicked up, dehumidifiers, fans and air movers were set up and mold that was found on ceilings days later was sprayed and stopped from growing.
This is a group of people that work as if they have an ownership in the company.
They are all very polite and efficient and take the time to explain what each individual problem is and what needs to be done to have a safe environment following the mess.
I highly recommend this ServPro group. I sincerely thank thank Dodi Millette and Andrew Rossi,and Bekim and Anton Gjelevic, Kwame and Miguel, Jay, Roberto and Jose. You all made an overwhelming situation calm and less chaotic from the start.
For myself and my neighbors.
Thank you all.
