Our team stays ready so we don’t have to get ready when a crisis occurs.
We’re Faster to Any Size Disaster

Insurance Document
When you experience damage to your home for one reason or another, you logically want to entrust your restoration to an experienced team of professional restoration experts. But how can you choose the right team?
You’ll want to consider a number of factors, including whether the restoration provider has specialized expertise related to your specific type of home damage. It’s also important to know whether they’re available 24⁄7, or if there will be any type of delay in accessing services.
We think that when you consider our offerings alongside other restoration providers, you’ll see that SERVPRO stands apart. But let’s talk more about why that is.
Why You Might Need Restoration
Whether you’ve just moved into your home or have been there a while, damage to your personal refuge is the last thing you want to think about. But it’s incredibly common.
In fact, the Insurance Information Institute reports that one out of every 350 American homeowners will file a fire-related claim this year.
And that’s just one type of home damage! In total, one out of every 20 American homeowners will file some type of claim this year, whether related to fire, water damage or even a tree falling on the home.
What Sets SERVPRO Apart
When you partner with SERVPRO to restore your home from damage, you can rest assured in knowing that we have access to the latest technologies and techniques. We’re available 24⁄7 when damage occurs, so you never have to wait to get the restoration process underway.
But we think that our people are what truly sets us apart!
Our team of technicians is trained in the ins and outs of restoration for all types of damage. That includes when you have multiple types of damage, such as when water damage leads to mold or when putting out a fire leads to smoke or water damage.
To prepare for this type of restoration, our technicians go through both internal SERVPRO-specific training and obtain specialized certifications from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification. The IICRC is the industry standard for best practices related to restoration.
That means your home is being restored by a team that’s truly the best of the best.
If your home is damaged due to a fire or any other cause, you can always count on us for restoration assistance. We have teams who are available 24⁄7 in the event of an emergency. Contact us at any time to learn more about our restoration services and how we can help your family.

Does Your Home Have A Mold Problem?
4/14/2021 (Permalink)
mold can spread through a home in as little as 48 hours.
Microscopic mold spores naturally occur almost everywhere, both outdoors and indoors. This makes it impossible to remove all mold from a home or business. Therefore, mold remediation reduces the mold spore count back to its natural or baseline level. Some restoration businesses advertise “mold removal” and even guarantee to remove all mold, which is a fallacy. Consider the following mold facts:
- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water.These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
If your home or business has a mold problem, we can inspect and assess your property and use our specialized training, equipment, and expertise to remediate your mold infestation.
