Hello,
Just a recap on the water removal job at St. Stephens. The undercroft was dry enough to use for Coffee Hour yesterday. The carpets were shampooed Sunday afternoon, and the workmen picked up their equipment Monday morning. Everything looks and smells great! We were fortunate to get an early start at cleanup, so that we have escaped mold damage so far.
A repairman from Sanford Health Accessories came Monday afternoon to restore service to the elevator. It is now working...
Some items that were stored in the closet in the Office sustained damage from the water. Some had to be tossed, but others are spread out on tables to dry. These include papers and artifacts relating to St. Stephen's history. We will try to get them properly stored for the future.
Some Vestments that were in the Office got wet, but no damage was done. They have been dried out, or laundered, and will be returned to the Office.
Although there is no question that the unprecedented rainfall was responsible for the flooded basement, we need to take steps to insure that we do not have another problem if there are more heavy rains this summer.
However, we should take immediate action to repair or replace the damaged downspouts on both the east and west sides of the building, and make sure that the gutters have not become clogged with debris.
