Why 24/7 Flood Cleanup Matters in Queens
Numbers tell the story in Queens: heavy rainfall and coastal storm systems overwhelming storm drains drives the majority of emergency restoration calls. A close second is aging stormwater infrastructure overwhelmed during prolonged rain events.
Queens experiences heavy rainfall due to its proximity to Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean, which increases flood risk during hurricane season. The humid subtropical climate also leads to frequent thunderstorms that can cause flash flooding.
