A town in Saratoga County, in the state of New York, Milton hosts a population of 17,103 according to the 2000 census. The population has risen since the census held in 2010 recorded 18,575.

Most Milton residents believe that the town was named after John Milton, a poet, while others say that it is the shortening of "Mill-town" since it was an active milling area.

The largest river Kayaderosseras Creek popularly known as Kaydeross flows through the eastern part of Milton town. The northern part of the county is the Kayaderosseras Range, where the river originates from flowing through several cities within the county.

Flooding history in Milton

The heavy rainfall in late June of 1972 associated with Tropical Storm Agnes caused the worst flood damage in New York State's history. On June 19, the flooding began in Westchester County, followed by widespread flooding in the Finger Lakes regions and the Southern Tier on June 23.

The flooding caused by the Tropical storm led to the deaths of 24 residents and displaced over 100,000 residents. The flood destroyed more than $400 million worth of private property and over $221 million of public property.

SERVPRO restorers can handle flood damage in your Milton property even without an electricity supply

The generator can also power our water extraction and drying equipment, among other equipment.

Safety is always our primary concern before and during our restoration process. Since water and flood-damaged areas contain various potential hazards to human health, we equip our team with personal protective equipment. Apart from the PPE, we also use equipment such as:
