What our
customers are saying
I was shocked at how fast mold grew in my home after it flooded. I was doubly shocked at the speed SERVPRO managed to get rid of the water and dried my home. The mold remediation took some extra time but it was worth it to not have to worry about it any longer.
There was a persistent musty odor in my home I could not pinpoint. I bought in SERVPRO and the team used devices to measure the moisture levels in my walls, floors, and ceilings. Turns out I had a small, slow leak in a pipe in my ceiling and it was keeping the wood wet enough to create a strong, constant smell. The team dried it and the odor vanished.
After completing mold remediation in my home, Karl suggested I get the ductwork in my home cleaned. It had not been cleaned during the 5 years I have resided in this property, and an astonishing amount of dirt and debris came out. Plus my HVAC sounds like it runs smoother.
I had a rental property that was between tenants and a slow leak set up the perfect environment for mold. It spread rapidly behind the kitchen cabinets. Justin performed intensive mold remediation and I am very pleased with the result.
When a tile popped off the wall in my shower, I discovered I had a massive mold problem. Karl inspected the shower and showed me the reason for the mold growth and suggested repairs. After the mold remediation, I felt confident I would not be dealing with the issue again.
My office was having a conference for managers from all over the state and we needed to get a 4,000 square foot facility deep cleaned. SERVPRO brought several people and numerous types of equipment to make the job go faster. When they were done, my building was very clean and ready for the conference.
I had a grease fire last weekend, SERVPRO showed up quickly and helped put my kitchen back together, looking better than it did before the accident.
One of my employees noticed a dark patch on the wall and we thought it was a water stain, however it was due to mold. SERVPRO explained everything they were doing during the cleanup process and we never felt in the dark. Afterward, the team told us the actions to take to make sure the mold did not return.
Our water heater failed and you cannot believe the amount of water it unleashed in our home. SERVPRO got the water out pronto. We thought our hardwood floor was a loss but they were able to dry it and we worked with their reconstruction team to get the boards sanded and refinished like new.
About Us
Customer service is paramount for our professionals and our administration. We build relationships with customers that are constructed on honest work and quality results. We follow up on the jobs that we do, reviewing every project each morning to ensure progress is where it should be and that the customer's needs are getting met. Under the guidance of our owner, Michael Panster, we continue to grow our roster and our experience of helping homeowners through fire, water, and mold disasters.
Experienced Restoration Professionals Ready to Help
The experience of our team is something of great importance and value to our entire franchise. Each technician is an extension of our commitment to customers in need, so no professionals enter the field without extensive training and certifications in their respective restoration niche. Even though many of our team members have been with us since the beginning, each embodies the same drive to become better educated and trained. This drive helps us to perform restoration tasks faster, more thoroughly, and more cost-efficiently.
Help for Large Loss Events Requiring Water Clean Up
With education and training such a substantial focus for our team, it makes sense that we would step up to the challenges of helping other areas of the country in their time of need. Natural disasters overwhelm local restoration professionals, so our traveling storm damage response team can help with leading tools, equipment, cleaning products, and experience. These same tools and equipment can get used to overcome post-disaster damages to local commercial properties and grand homes. From trailered generators to whole-house desiccant dehumidifiers, we have the means to handle emergencies of any size.
More than Restoration and Recovery Services
Our growth and reputation in the community extend beyond the fire and water restoration services we can provide area properties. We work with many local organizations to improve life for our residents, those less fortunate, and to support local youth organizations to offer younger individuals skills for the future. Some of these include:
- The Salvation Army
- Big Brothers Big Sisters
- MS Society
- Florida AIDS Walk
