Our Story
Family-Owned
Solid Future
SERVPRO continued to grow into the new century, and in 2005 moved to a 140,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility in Gallatin, Tennessee, to provide more room for expansion. Today, SERVPRO has more than 2,000 locations in the United States and Canada and has become the #1 choice in cleanup and restoration. SERVPRO offers a solid business model to entrepreneurs looking for a recession-proof opportunity. In March 2019, the investment firm Blackstone acquired a majority stake in SERVPRO. True to its beginnings, it remains a family-owned business. The Isaacson family will continue to be significant shareholders into the future. According to Rick Isaacson, Chief Executive Officer of Servpro Industries, LLC, “SERVPRO was founded over 50 years ago with the vision of becoming the premier cleaning and restoration company, and we believe this partnership with Blackstone is a vital next step toward this goal.”
