After Hurricane Helene’s remnants caused catastrophic flooding in Western North Carolina, Pisgah High School’s football field was left submerged under 15 feet of water. Faced with extensive damage and layers of silt covering the field, Pisgah High School turned to AstroTurf for emergency restoration services to prepare the field for an upcoming game.

AstroTurf responded immediately, sending a dedicated team of experts who worked relentlessly to clean the field and remediate the flood-related damage. In just 12 days, AstroTurf’s crew successfully restored the playing surface, ensuring that Pisgah High School’s football team could return to action for their Friday night game. The AstroTurf team removed silt and soiled infill, cleaned the surface, added infill, and completed essential repairs to bring the field back to a safe and playable condition.

AstroTurf would like to recognize the exceptional efforts of the crew who worked on the field: Wes Howard, Dustin Bradley, Spencer Bradley, Uriel Mora Galicia, Antonio Navarro Hernandez, CJ Fuller, Mario Del Valle Flores, and Estephen Del Valle Carrer. Their professionalism, dedication, and skill were key to completing the restoration on time, despite the challenging conditions.

Trevor Putnam, Superintendent of Haywood County Schools, praised the crew’s efforts, saying, “The damage caused by the flooding was overwhelming, and we feared the field might be lost for the season. But AstroTurf came through for us in a big way. The team they sent worked tirelessly to restore the field in time for our kids to play. Their quick action and incredible workmanship made all the difference, and we are deeply grateful.”
