Ferguson Showroom

Ferguson is the largest distributor of plumbing supplies, pipe, valve and fittings in the U.S. BELFOR restored a 60,000-square-foot Ferguson showroom and warehouse in North Carolina that suffered significant storm and tornado damage.

It was an overcast, rainy Saturday afternoon in Raleigh, N.C. The day began with only a moderate risk of severe weather, so it was business as usual for the Ferguson sales associates and the dozen or so customers in the 60,000-square-foot Yonkers Road showroom and warehouse.

They had no idea that one of the largest single-system tornado outbreaks in U.S. history was about to violently spawn a tornado –
with winds possibly in excess of 165 MPH – that would touch down within a few feet of the front door.

“BELFOR made a great first impression. Representatives were on location quicker than anyone else, and were both professional and customer-oriented. From lighting to armed security, BELFOR anticipated our needs and tried to ease our stress. What also stands out is the consistent follow-up, demonstrating their dedication to partnering with Ferguson.”
