Shavertown Cleanup and Restoration

Located in the Back Mountain between Dallas/Harvey's Lake and Trucksville sits Shavertown, PA. Shavertown is a town in Kingston Township, Luzerne County, PA. It lies approximately 7 miles northwest of the city of Wilkes-Barre and 24 miles southwest of Scranton. With a population of just under 2,000, the residents enjoy a more rural area with nearby areas to hike and enjoy the outdoors. Frances Slocum State Park and Ricketts Glen State Park are two of the most popular that a short distance from Shavertown. 

Shavertown just like most of PA is known for frigid temperatures in the Winter. These residents and business owners unfortunately find themselves dealing with frozen pipes and fires more often because of mother nature. 

Extreme cold weather can cause pipes to freeze and burst. In general, pipes are more likely to freeze when the temperature is below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. The resulting water damage can be extensive. Outdoor pipes and pipes in unheated areas of the home can freeze if they are not properly insulated or if temperatures are severely cold. We can quickly and safely repair water damage caused by frozen pipes. 

Outdoor pipes most likely to freeze include:

• Outdoor hose bibs
• Swimming pool supply lines
• Water sprinkler lines

Pipes in unheated or partially heated areas are also at risk of freezing, including:

• Basements
• Crawl spaces
• Garages
