Greenville, NC HVAC Market Disruption from Tar River Flooding

In Greenville, NC, flooding from the Tar River has exceeded both 100-year and 500-year flood plains, leaving many buildings underwater. Contractors like Advance Mechanical and Sam Pollard & Son face thousands of service requests but are hampered by inaccessible roads and customer inability to pay. Repair work is expected to take weeks.

“The flooding is so bad that it exceeds not only the 100-year flood plain but also the 500-year flood plain, says Larry Riddle of Advance Mechanical.”
