Two years after Hurricane Matthew, one Myrtle Beach Family says they are still working to rebuild and the heavy summer rainfall isn’t making that process easy.
Connie Parrish says her and her four other family members have had to live in a camper for the last two years, and when it rains water leaks through the ceiling and onto their beds and clothes.
“I try to get about six or seven pans to catch it, but throughout the camper but it smells and it just gets in everywhere.” said Connie Parrish.
She says they were given $20,000 from FEMA but that it didn’t do much, and they’re still waiting on help from disaster relief.
“You keep thinking it’s not going to be that much longer, it’s not going to be that much longer but what can you do?” Parrish said.
CEO of Water & Fire Restoration, Todd Setzer says they’ve seen an influx of calls due to the heavy rains.
“We’ve seen some commercial, some residential a lot of basements, a lot of leaks, roof leaks, so you’re seeing these spots staining on the ceilings.”Seltzer says it’s important to try to take as many preventative measures as possible.“Keep your drains, your gutters and your down spouts cleaned out to keep that water from coming in your home.” Seltzer said.
