A River Town
Settled on the Naugatuck River in New Haven County, Ansonia is known for being a manufacturing town throughout its history. The river played, and still does play, a big role in the town's development. Today's Ansonia, while still having many thriving businesses, is also known for it's green space. People throughout the area visit the Ansonia Nature & Recreation Center for hikes as well as classes and events. The Riverwalk Park is a place to enjoy the river while running, biking or simply taking a walk and enjoying our beautiful river.
When the River Floods
While we are grateful for the river and how it has helped the town grow, flooding has been an issue throughout the town's history. Most notably, in 1955, Hurricane Diane caused the river to overflow and many homes and businesses were destroyed on Main Street. Hurricanes and the water damage they bring are a 'once every couple of years' concern for the Naugatuck Valley. They cause homes to flood, damage roofs and down trees. SERVPRO is a local company that provides water damage restoration as well as emergency services such as tarping, board ups and tree removal to local homes and businesses.
Water and Fire Damage Restoration
Although hurricanes are an occasional concern in the area, snowstorms are a reliable weather event. When you live in the Northeast, you know to expect freezing weather and strong winds throughout the winter. These can affect residents by causing frozen pipes and ice dams, both of which can result in a dripping ceiling that needs to be addressed immediately to avoid water damage. At SERVPRO, our teams are highly trained to address the specific needs of Connecticut home and business owners. From electrical fires to mold infestations to toilet overflows, we are here to help.
