The northeastern U.S. has seen a greater increase in extreme precipitation than any other region in the country. Between 1958 and 2010, the Northeast saw more than a 70% increase in the amount of precipitation falling in very heavy events (defined as the heaviest 1% of all daily events)(Horton, 2014).  By identifying the floodway on your property and removing movable property (debris piles, campers, old lawnmowers, fill, etc.) we can reduce the amount of catastrophic flooding downstream.  Join us as we find out how.
