HAILSTORM AND FLOOD DAMAGE ORDEAL IS OVER
Township of
Washington, NJ, October 6 –
The
hailstorm of last June did significant damage to area homes. One family in
Washington Township was hit particularly hard. The hail and resulting flood
broke the garage door and flooded the garage and basement. The family car was
totaled, the heating system was lost, and sections of sheetrock had to be
replaced. Unfortunately, insurance did not cover everything. When Mother Seton
Council Knights of Columbus in Washington Township heard of this catastrophe,
one if its members, Shawn Cowie, enlisted the help of his colleagues in the
Pascack Valley Master Plumbers Association to lend a hand in bringing the
damaged home back to normal. The John M. Hartel Company donated a new heating
system and Shawn’s company, Loretto Plumbing, donated other material. Shawn and
fellow plumbers Drew Breitenbach and Tom Myack installed the new heating system.
Other friends and neighbors have also helped with the needed repairs. The family
thanks the Hartel Company, The Knights of Columbus (and Shawn Cowie in
particular), and all the others who so generously donated their time and talent.
