How does SERVPRO work?

3/12/2021 (Permalink)

SERVPRO responds to emergency calls 24-hours a day.  We work with homeowners and insurance adjusters to restore a damaged property to preloss condition. 

Every restoration project is unique, but our process typically involves the following steps. 

Step 1: Emergency Dispatch or Scheduling an Estimate

We dispatch when you call us, 24-hours a day, every day of the week.  Our emergency dispatch service includes water damage, biohazard cleanup, and emergency services to help secure a property like board-up and roof tarping. 

Clients in need of non-emergency services can still call us at any time to schedule an estimate.  Some estimates can be done quickly online, and others will require us to visit a property to perform an inspection.  Damage restoration estimates are free. 

Step 2: Cleanup and Mitigation 

This step involves cleaning up the damage the property has experienced.  

• Water damage restoration involves extracting water and drying the property. 
• Fire damage restoration involves smoke and soot cleaning, deodorization, and cleaning the property and all the belongings in it. 
• Mold remediation involves removing the mold from the property and any affected belongings. 
• Biohazard cleaning involves sanitization.  

Step 2a: Insurance Claim Processing

While our technicians are cleaning a property, our office staff is also busy at work.  Each of our clients is assigned a Project Coordinator that will work with each insurance adjuster to help process the insurance claim. 

Step 3: Reconstruction

If a property suffered extensive damage and required demolition, then our reconstruction team repairs everything necessary to make any damage “Like it never even happened.”  This portion of the project begins immediately after the mitigation has been completed and is typically approved as part of the insurance claim. 

Call us anytime.  We’re here to help. 706-549-3366
