our first job

For our first project, our volunteers responded to a flooded basement with many hands to move things from harms way, a shop vac, and some good old Kennebunk ingenuity.

A frozen outdoor spigot burst into the basement.  The detective team found shutoffs to all outdoor spigots, cleaned up and set up fans to dry the place out.  No mildew problem, no damage, no mess!
