Flooded Basement

A water main break caused this basement in Great Falls, Mt to flood. This before picture shows the mess left behind after all water had receded.

SERVPRO of Helena & Great Falls was called in to clean up the aftermath! The owner was thrilled she said "This basement never looked this good in the 24 years I've owned this Property".
