We're happy to help our local hospital in keeping everyone safe. 

This is what a sewage back up looks like! 

Sewage can be very dangerous to our health. It is home to a lot of bacteria and disease. Therefore it is so important that it is treated thoroughly as soon as possible.

SEWAGE GETS INTO EVERYTHING!

Sewage gets right into every crack and crevice it gets near. It will settle into carpet, wood, tiles, anything and everything! 

PLEASE BE CAREFUL

Beware not to touch anything. As you can see in the photo, our technician is wearing a gas mask. They're also wearing PPE all over, including a full protective suit.

SERVPRO was called out when the homeowner could smell very unpleasant odors and could see small puddles of water developing in the back side of the bathroom.

Behind this wall was a utility room that had an old hot water tank that was having a lot of issues.

The SERVPRO servicemen came to the scene and found a few more, less obvious issues that, if left unattended, could have potentially caused much greater damage!

Thankfully the owner had insurance, which avoided an entirely new type of discomfort.

Please make sure your insurance is up to date in case a surprise like the happens!

Water and mold damage can greatly effect your work place and home. It can damage slowly through plasterboard, floor boards or any other surfaces.

Why the Air Freshener?

Our plant based air fresheners help rid the air of the odor. The UV light will kill the microscopic germs that are responsible for a large portion of the odor, but it's nice to include a little fragrance to the air.

Our cleaning products are all plant based. Some are odorless, some are fragrant. All have a purpose for your specific requirements.
