Team Rubicon performs its services at no cost to those affected, thanks to the generosity of donors.

  1. Great news Cal, your neighbor to the East suffered three feet of water in their basement.

    I stopped over for a minute last evening and said I would stop over this morning to see if I could help.

    Sounds like the best help I could provide them the phone # for Rubicon.

  2. Funny thing when I went to the house to provide them the contact info. for Team Rubicon, a man with a Team Rubicon emerges from the flooded basement!
