Restoring a structure back to its original state
SERVPRO Building Services: A Comprehensive Solution for Commercial and Residential Restoration Needs
When disaster strikes, whether due to a fire, flood, mold, or storm damage, the aftermath can be overwhelming. It’s not just about restoring the property to its original state but also ensuring that the structure remains safe, functional, and ready for the next chapter. SERVPRO, a well-known name in the restoration and cleaning industry, offers comprehensive building services to assist homeowners and businesses in getting back on their feet.
What Are SERVPRO Building Services?
SERVPRO’s building services are designed to address the structural and cosmetic repair needs of properties affected by disaster. Their range of services goes beyond the typical cleanup and drying services that SERVPRO is famous for. While water, fire, and mold damage restoration are core competencies, their building services ensure that damaged structures are fully restored and brought back to preloss condition.
The goal is to handle every step of the process—from cleanup and demolition to reconstruction and finishing touches—so that property owners can return to normal life with as little disruption as possible.
Key Building Services Offered by SERVPRO
Here’s a closer look at some of the key services provided under SERVPRO’s building services umbrella:
1. Emergency Board-Up & Tarping
After a fire, storm, or other catastrophic event, the immediate concern is securing the property and protecting it from further damage. SERVPRO offers 24/7 emergency board-up and tarping services to seal off openings in the building’s structure—such as broken windows, damaged roofs, or doors that have been compromised—preventing water, debris, or intruders from entering.
2. Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Water damage is one of the most common problems that property owners face, whether due to flooding, burst pipes, or roof leaks. SERVPRO’s expert technicians use high-powered fans, industrial-grade dehumidifiers, and moisture meters to ensure that the affected areas are thoroughly dried. This not only helps to prevent further damage but also mitigates the risk of mold growth, which can develop quickly in damp environments.
3. Reconstruction Services
SERVPRO doesn’t just stop at cleanup and drying. They offer full-scale reconstruction services to restore your building’s structure. Whether it’s repairing drywall, replacing flooring, or rebuilding entire sections of a building that have been destroyed, SERVPRO’s team of licensed contractors works efficiently to rebuild your property with quality materials and craftsmanship. Their reconstruction services include:
- Rebuilding Walls and Ceilings: After fire or water damage, walls and ceilings may need to be replaced entirely. SERVPRO has the expertise to handle both small and large-scale reconstruction projects.
- Roofing and Exterior Repairs: Whether your roof suffered from storm damage or you need a full replacement, SERVPRO offers expert roofing services. They also handle exterior repairs, including siding, gutters, and windows.
- Flooring Replacement: Whether hardwood, tile, or carpet, SERVPRO can repair or replace damaged flooring, ensuring a seamless finish that matches your property’s original aesthetic.
4. Mold Remediation and Structural Repairs
Mold can be a major concern following water damage, and it can significantly affect a building’s structural integrity. SERVPRO offers mold remediation services to safely and effectively remove mold from your property. If mold has already caused structural damage, SERVPRO will handle the necessary repairs to ensure that the building is both safe and livable.
5. HVAC System Cleaning & Repair
In the aftermath of a disaster, debris and contaminants can enter your HVAC system, spreading dirt, dust, and even bacteria throughout the building. SERVPRO offers comprehensive cleaning and repair services for HVAC systems to restore healthy air quality to your home or business. This includes cleaning air ducts, replacing filters, and ensuring the HVAC system is fully operational.
6. Content Cleaning and Restoration
In addition to structural repairs, SERVPRO offers content cleaning services to restore items such as furniture, electronics, documents, and personal belongings that may have been damaged by smoke, water, or mold. These items are carefully cleaned, deodorized, and restored using the latest technologies and techniques, so they can be returned to their owners in a condition that’s as close to pre-damage as possible.
7. Asbestos and Lead-Based Paint Removal
Older buildings may contain hazardous materials such as asbestos or lead-based paint, which can pose serious health risks if disturbed. SERVPRO is trained and certified to handle the safe removal of these materials, ensuring that the property is not only structurally sound but also safe for occupancy.
