More than 50 people were reportedly evacuated from the Leechburg area of Armstrong County late Thursday night because of flooding problems. If your home is flooded, remember to check for water in crawl space when clearing up.
The issues are stemming from the massive ice jam on the Kiski River. With milder weather in the forecast this weekend and rain predicated, flooding problems are expected downstream. If you are affected by any sort of water damage that has happened to your home because of the flood, then you will need to get in touch with a professional as soon as you can. If you live in Austin, it may be worth getting in touch with Water Damage and Roofing of Austin for further help and information. Don’t worry if you don’t live in this area, there will be trained professionals where you live who will be able to help you. And these knights in shining armour come in residential and commercial restoration services. In areas where flooding is common, there will be even more available to help out. Similarly, if you’ve been having issues with your drains as a result of the flooding, you’ll more than likely need to contact a local plumber to inspect for damage and make the necessary repairs. Flood water can back up drains and block them with debris and silt and it can also pollute your drinking water, so a local Kellyville plumbing business, or similar plumber in your area, should be able to help get your water running again.
The Kiski River breaks off of the Allegheny River near Freeport (in southeast Butler County). Homeowners who live near the banks of the Allegheny and Kiski rivers are taking steps to avoid flood damage.
Late last week, heavy rain combined with warm temperatures that led to snow melt caused flooding problems in several areas of the county. According to Butler County Emergency Services Director Steve Bicehouse, the county’s water rescue team completed 14 rescues last Friday.
