When Water, Fire, and Storm Damage Happens in Crescent City, We're Ready.

Whether you're looking for restoration, cleaning or construction services in Crescent City, we're here to help 24/7.

South Putnam was settled in the 1700's when English landowners established rice and indigo plantations along the shores of the St. John's River. Prior to that, the area was home to Native American Indian tribes that fished the river, hunted the forests, and grew food crops. Crescent City, on the western shore of Dunn's Lake, was first settled in 1852; however, there is evidence of earlier property owners before that time.

What is now the town Crescent City was once part of the "Old Oliver Plantation." This was a tract of about 1,800 acres. In 1867 and 1870 large portions of original tract were sold to three men and their wives and became the City of Ellington, named for one of the wives. In 1876, Charles R. Griffing and his wife Jennie purchased the land and began C.R. Griffing & Company. The existing lake, known as Dunn’s Lake at that time, was thought by Mrs. Griffing to have a crescent shape. She changed the name of the lake to Lake Crescent. In 1876, an area of the shore was surveyed and platted. The name chosen was Crescent City. Another lake on the west was named Lake Stella because it looked like a star.

The primary route for settlers was on the St. Johns River by steamship from Jacksonville. Rail service to the community, inaugurated in 1886, facilitated the transport of local goods and increased traffic to the area.

The early economy was based on agriculture in the form to truck crops and citrus and tourism. After the great freeze of 1894-95 wiped out the towns citrus industry most of the citrus fields converted to ferneries, which is still a major industry in the town today.

Because a good portion of Crescent City is located on the banks of the Lake Crescent and Lake Stella there is an increased need for water damage restoration after a hurricane or Nor’easter moves through the area. For almost 30 years SERVPRO® has been here to help after disaster strikes. So whether you just need some general cleaning done, water damage restoration, or fire damage restoration, you can trust your local team at SERVPRO®!

What our
Crescent City customers are saying

A huge, heartfelt thank you to Ed, Dimitri, and Darnell from SERVPRO of Putnam County. Our house flooded Monday night after a plastic coupling nut cracked and snapped clean off, but these guys have been absolute lifesavers ever since. They’ve been checking in on us every single day and making a stressful situation so much easier to handle. So grateful for their hard work, professionalism, and care. You guys are the best!

The Rotary Club of Hastings has a storage unit in E. Palatka. Unfortunately, the property was vandalized and the contents of our unit were contaminated with a chemical dust. Ed had a crew out there quickly and got us decontaminated in time to get our equipment out for the event we had in three days! Can't tell you how much we appreciated the thoroughness, timeliness, and help with photos that we received from this company. Now on my personal will-call list if we need them, too!

Nancy Quatrano

Excellent people! Friendly service! I have encountered needing their services under two different places of employment (neither my fault LOL) They removed damages from a water leak in a doctor's office. They worked around the staff and fixed the problem quickly. They also did work on a local facility that experienced mold and mildew from an ongoing roof leak. They repaired all the damages and worked with renters for extra air quality for the venue to be usable before a full treatment was possible.

Thank you ServPro for another good job. I am amazed you got the stains out of my very old carpet, again!

Betty Jackson

I had extensive flooding in my home after a pipe burst while I was asleep. Servpro of Putnam County was at my home and had equipment in place within a few hours with complete support and explanation of the process. I’ve never been so impressed with a company, their quick response to my crisis, compassion and expertise in putting everything in place to save my flooring that was the most at risk and ensuring they located and identified any other areas at risk that may need attention. So very thankful to them for coming in, taking over and completely easing my mind. They are absolutely the best! Lisa Burnett Palatka
