We always take count of our equipment before distributing it out on multi-story losses. This helps us devise the best plan to get the job done efficiently. There's nothing worse than losing time and money due to a long mitigation process. That's why SERVPRO of Washington County knows how to work fast.

Applied structural drying is, as we always say, a special science, so DIY is never recommended. Luckily, we are certified via the IICRC to conduct this science in your home or business when damage occurs. Here you can see that mitigating storm damage requires a precise plan and of course the right equipment to rid your property of water and prevent or abate any potential mold risk. That's why SERVPRO should always be your first call when you spot damage!

Our franchise name is not to be taken lightly. We truly do serve Washington County, as can be seen in this photo! One of our crews responded to a call for mitigating smoke damage on a local commercial boat. We are not selective when it comes to the jobs we can take on. We know how important it is for any piece of your property to be restored, that's why our teams are specifically trained to deal with any number of affected items when damage occurs.

With the recent freezing temperatures, make sure you stay proactive.

Some things to do to help avoid having your pipes freeze:

Keep your heat up. 

Open your cabinets to let heat get to pipes.

Make sure your pipes are wrapped or insulated properly.

Leave your faucets dripping.

If you do have to leave town, drain your pipes.

Keep the garage doors closed.

Lastly, know where to turn off the water if disaster strikes.

We have all seen the game "What's wrong with this picture." It's kind of fun to see what doesn't belong in the picture until it's a picture of your house!

In this picture, rain boots shouldn't be needed inside the house. When rain from a storm makes it's way inside it's not a game. 

Make sure you're prepared. Have your roof, chimney, and sump pump checked, just to name a few. Keep the rain outside where it belongs. 

You want to take your rain boots off before you come inside, not put them on to come inside.

Depicted here are some of our drying equipment on scene after a water damage incident.

Thorough drying is important to us so mold doesn't grow in your home or business after water damage. 

Our crews are always hard at work, sunshine or rain, any time of the day! Whenever you see our fleet on the scene, you know hard work and customer satisfaction are sure to follow!

A fire really doesn't need stairs to get from one floor to another once it ignites in your home or business. This can make restoration seem impossible, but when our professionally trained crews are on scene after your fire... it'll be "Like it never even happened."

Boarding up after major damage or losses is crucial during the mitigation process. This keeps the damage from spreading, damaging anything else, especially in cases where cross-contamination is a risk factor. You can see here that the boarding up process has begun after major fire damage.

SERVPRO wants to help people in the community know the correct way to handle mitigation on their property as well as knowing when an expert is needed.

We want them to have the power to make the right decisions and to be above all be safe.

Part of SERVPRO of Washington County's expert restoration and cleanup services include working with your insurance when we make an estimate for the cost of our services. We are sure to carefully inspect the damage to your home or business. This is especially important in cases of fire damage, as the loss is often more extensive.

SERVPRO of Washington County has the latest water detection equipment. We can find the moisture before the demo. 

This homeowner had a roof repair 3 weeks prior and saw a spot. SERVPRO came out, did some readings, and found moisture and mold. We knew exactly where to demo and make things right.

Our teams have certainly seen our fair share of mold, so when it comes to finding it, there's no hidden spore we won't seek out. Our SERVPRO of Washington County crews are specifically trained to utilize special equipment to find any mold, but sometimes it is as simple as getting a flashlight on the job. In this home, mold was hiding in plain sight in the dark. Other mold remediation companies might not work as thoroughly as our SERVPRO of Washington County crews do to ensure that your property is completely free of mold. We inspect your home or business before, during, and after the mitigation process so as to make sure mold is completely gone. We work to make sure you're as informed and comfortable as possible because we know that any damage to your property can be incredibly stressful. Have no fear, SERVPRO is here!

SERVPRO of Washington County responded to a water damage incident in a Washington County home whose hot water heater had leaked. The water damage caused some issues, but nothing our professionals couldn't handle once we arrived on scene! As you know by now, if you follow our content, water damage can lead to secondary mold damage if it isn't handled properly. This picture shows what can happen if you don't call SERVPRO as soon as you suspect water damage in your home.

Our crews responded to this sizable fire loss. You can see the flames burnt through quite a few layers of the wall and even singed the brick. The first part of mitigating a fire loss is precisely assessing the damage. Fire losses often call for tearing down before we rebuild. It's important to rid your home or business of any irreparably burnt items, especially for deodorization purposes.

Storms can cause your power to go out, which can cause your sub pump to fail... which brings you the joy of having to deal with a flooded basement. We aren't afraid to do the dirty work and make sure the damage doesn't hurt any other systems in your home (much like this risk pictured here).

SERVPRO of Washington County knows it's important to get to your emergency fast and ready to go. There is nothing worse than having to go back for equipment before mitigation can start.

SERVPRO stocks all of our trucks and van with the best equipment and plenty of it.

When we arrive we are ready to roll. 

As we always say, mold can find a way to grow pretty much everywhere. Your sink is supposed to be clean so you can clean things in it; however, in cases of hoarding, mold in the least likely places becomes far more possible. Other mold remediation companies might not be as sensitive with such delicate issues like hoarding or mold. That's why our SERVPRO professionals are specifically trained to address such situations with care and efficiency.

Fire damage can be absolutely devastating to your home. Such a loss is no match for our mitigators and our rebuild devision. We work quickly to get your home back to normal, so it can be, "Like it never even happened."

Fire damage really does tend to heat up in the summer. We know that when it comes to a fire, it doesn't matter if it's your home or you business... it's a painful situation!

Even the smallest drip drop of water in your attic or ceiling can feed enough mold to cause some serious issues for you and your home... but have no fear, SERVPRO is here!

There are a lot of instances where boarding up your home or business is necessary. Not only is important to board up before damage, but after damage or a loss occurs, boarding up can be a great preventative measure.

A bathroom water leak and flood left seemingly everywhere wet! We arrived on scene with our special drying equipment to dry out any damage and prevent any mold from growing in place of the water.

Your shower can oftentimes be a common breeding ground for all kinds of mold and bacteria. The best place to get clean can harbor the worst kinds of germs. Eek!
