When disaster wrecks havoc, you may not know where to start when it comes to clean up or restoring your business or home. That is where we come in! SERVPRO is here to help when there is a need for fire or water restoration, mold remediation, carpet cleaning, or even bio-hazard clean up, we do it all!

One major area that we focus on here at SERVPRO, is water damage. When you are dealing with water damage, immediate action is crucial. Water damage can happen for many reasons. From a pipe bursting to a severe storm that causes flooding; SERVPRO is on call 24 hours a day in order to tend to your needs as soon as possible. We have the expertise and equipment to quickly restore your property to pre-water damage conditions. We use a scientific approach to water removal and water cleanup that emphasizes monitoring and documenting the drying process from beginning to end.

There are steps to always follow when dealing with water damage.

1. Call a professional! - Don't try to clean up major water damage all by yourself. Call your local SERVPRO so they can get to the problem quickly to avoid further damage.
2. Once a technician has inspected and assessed the damage, water removal will begin.
3. SERVPRO uses powerful pumps and vacuums during the water removal process. Most would not believe how much water is actually extracted!
4. After the bulk of the water has been removed, it's time to dry. Drying and de-humidification targets the water and moisture that might be lurking in places unseen.
5. Sanitizing and restoration are the final steps. Our SERVPRO technicians will use other powerful equipment to make sure any furniture, clothing and other personal items are free of odors and any germs that might have been left behind before restoring your space back to as original of a condition as possible!

Following these steps will ensure that your home or office get back to as normal of a condition as possible after the damage has occurred.

The most important thing to remember is your local SERVPRO of Thomas, Colquitt & Grady Counties is here to help! Owners Pete and Lindsay Leverette try to stay very connected in the communities they serve so that when disaster strikes, people feel confident and comfortable in calling the heroes in green to come to the rescue. Whether it be a kitchen fire, severe water damage, or cleaning your home before or after the holidays, give SERVPRO a call!
