Flood Damage Report: Help!
Basement Clear of Water, But Lots of Work to Do!
The high water mark in the Senate Theater basement after the flooding at the end of June 2021.
Thanks to a Detroit Theater Organ Society Member who was able to rent a gas powered pump on Saturday afternoon, the basement of the Senate Theater is now drained of water and ready for remediation and repair work. Our conservative estimate of clean-up and repairs is $15,000 and we are gratefully accepting donations. We'll be bringing in a professional company to clean and combat mold after help from volunteers on Saturday, July 3rd.
Electricity is currently turned off to most of the building, with temporary lights installed in the basement. We are hopeful we can get the professionals in and the electricity on before next Saturday's outdoor screening of Gammera the Invincible.
The Mighty Wurlitzer’s 25 horse-power turbine needs to be repaired and cleaned after the water damage.
