Large loss teams across the nation are ready to roll when the call comes in

When disaster strikes, whether from wildfires, hurricanes, or severe storms, the aftermath can be overwhelming. Homes, businesses, and entire communities are left grappling with the damage. But in these moments of uncertainty, call SERVPRO®. With our decades of experience in disaster recovery, we are ready to respond quickly, restore your property, and help you rebuild.

24/7 Emergency Response

Disasters don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. SERVPRO’s teams are available 24/7 to ensure we arrive on-site as soon as it’s safe. Whether it’s wildfire damage, storm flooding, or wind destruction, our goal is to start the recovery process immediately to minimize further damage.

Wildfires: Restoring What’s Lost

Wildfires can leave behind more than just scorched earth. Smoke damage, soot, and the lingering smell of burnt materials are common in homes and businesses even miles from the blaze. SERVPRO is trained in **specialized cleaning techniques** to address:

 **Smoke and soot damage**: Both can impact walls, ceilings, and personal items, requiring expert cleaning and restoration.

**Air quality control**: We use state-of-the-art equipment like **air scrubbers** and **ozone machines** to remove the smell of smoke.

**Water damage from firefighting efforts**: Water used to extinguish flames often creates a secondary disaster. We have the expertise to handle both fire and water damage at the same time.

Storms and Flooding: Fast and Efficient Water Damage Recovery

Torrential storms, hurricanes, and floods can cause severe water damage, which worsens the longer it goes untreated. At SERVPRO, we specialize in:

**Water extraction**: Using powerful pumps and vacuums, we quickly remove standing water to prevent further structural damage.

 **Drying and dehumidification**: Moisture can seep into walls, floors, and furniture. We use industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to thoroughly dry affected areas.

**Mold prevention**: If water damage isn't addressed quickly, mold can begin to grow within 24-48 hours. Our teams work to ensure that mold doesn’t take hold after a disaster.

Storm Damage Repair and Reconstruction

In addition to water damage, severe storms can cause structural issues, from fallen trees and broken windows to roof damage. SERVPRO is a **one-stop solution**, offering **reconstruction services** after the initial cleanup. This means we can help repair, rebuild, and restore your property to pre-disaster condition, saving you the hassle of working with multiple contractors.

Why SERVPRO?

**Highly Trained Technicians**: Our team is certified by the **Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC)** and equipped with advanced tools and technology.

**Locally Owned, Nationally Supported**: Each SERVPRO franchise is locally owned and operated, meaning you get the personal touch of a small business with the resources and support of a national network.

**Faster to Any Disaster**: Our nationwide network allows us to respond quickly, no matter how widespread the damage.
