On May 17th, 2016, Vero Beach was hit unexpectedly with a strain of severe weather that caused record-breaking flash flooding within a matter of minutes throughout most of the city. Some areas were reporting over 12 inches of rain, leaving multiple homes flooded with inches of standing water. What happened that day no one was prepared for, but ServiceMaster By Glenn’s was.

As we watched outside the streets filling with water, we knew it was time to call to action. We immediately put together our emergency response team no sooner as the phone calls started rolling in. The owner, Keith Grella, and his certified water damage specialists waded through the flooded streets, tirelessly extracting commercial buildings and homes, lugging heavy equipment through the torrential downpour of rain, both day and night for over a week straight. While ServiceMaster By Glenn’s is still receiving phone calls about homes that need services from last week’s events, a sense of normalcy has been returned to the city, along with the dozens of homeowners and business owners who entrusted ServiceMaster By Glenn’s to restore their properties. Storms like these serve as a reminder to always be prepared for when disasters can strike! Hurricane season is only one week away. Start your preparations today! Contact ServiceMaster By Glenn’s to inquire about our emergency service agreement, which guarantees you priority response and set pricing. 772-567-4435.

A special thank you to Quail Valley River Club, Osceola Bistro, Tropical Eye Associates, True Colors Salon & Spa, Christi’s Fitness, and dozens of other local businesses for allowing us to share their experience with these images.
