Helping West Lafayette with Water Damage & Fire Damage Restoration

Even without commercial flights, University Airport in West Lafayette is the second busiest airport in the State. The high number of privately-owned airplanes using the terminal and the Aviation School’s students create significant air traffic. This airport was the first owned by a university in the nation, opening in 1930. Commercial flights used the terminal until 2014.

Purdue University has always been a university that encouraged its students and faculty, including women. Amelia Earhart’s visiting faculty position at Purdue University, where she was an advisor in the aeronautics department and a counselor to women students. The University supported her goal of circumnavigating the globe so much that they funded the purchase of her Electra. The University began providing an Amelia Earhart Scholarship, starting in 1938 and ending in the 1970s but initiated again in 1999 by a former recipient.

You can Rely on SERVPRO to Protect Your Property
SERVPRO® does more than mitigation and restoration. We also help families and other businesses by preventing new damage from happening. Technicians ensure that moisture levels are within acceptable limits before we finish using infrared imaging methods. We follow up with moisture-detection equipment. Using an air scrubber removes excess contamination in the air. They also prevent water damage and fire damage from becoming problems again after restoration because these machines remove soot particles and mold spores.

Preventing any other fire or water damage makes sense for several reasons, namely:

• Less water or fire damage requires less mitigation and restoration work,
• Fewer items need replacing or restored, and
• A faster recovery period.

The Celery Bog Nature Area on Lindberg Road is home to many different bird species and wetland wildlife. Vegetation is also indicative of the damp environment found in bogs and marshes. Many trails, both paved and natural, provide hours of hiking enjoyment, free of charge, to the community. Inside the Nature Area is the Lilly Nature Center, where free programs teach about nature and ecology. Many schools in West Lafayette use the Nature Center as a field trip destination.
