Seattle, Wash. - 1-800-WATER DAMAGE, the nation's leading franchise specializing in water damage restoration for homes and businesses, announced today it has signed an agreement with an East Coast family to develop a franchise serving the Fairfield County communities of Greenwich, Norwalk and Bridgeport.

"The Scanlons' diverse career backgrounds, along with their enthusiasm for customer relations, were a natural fit for us," said Eric Little, director of franchise development for 1-800-WATER DAMAGE. "We anticipate their backgrounds to provide great growth and service for the 1-800-WATER DAMAGE brand in the Fairfield County area."

1-800-WATER DAMAGE, with approximately 80 locations operating across the United States, offers homes and businesses a wide array of water damage restoration services, including: water extraction; basement, crawl space and structural drying; dehumidifying; odor removal and disinfecting. Technicians respond to customers within 90 minutes.

"1-800-WATER DAMAGE has a great reputation for quality service in a niche industry. We look forward to bringing this much-needed service to homes and businesses throughout Fairfield County."
