When Water, Fire, and Storm Damage Happens in Orono, We're Ready.
Whether you're looking for restoration, cleaning or construction services in Orono, we're here to help 24/7.
When water intrudes into your Orono home, the clock starts ticking immediately. Within 24 to 48 hours, standing water can saturate building materials, compromise structural integrity, and create an ideal environment for mold growth, leading to significantly higher repair costs and potential health concerns. Many property owners don't realize that simply drying out visible areas isn't enough; moisture can wick into wall cavities, subflooring, and insulation, causing hidden damage that compounds over time. This rapid deterioration underscores the critical need for a professional, swift response to mitigate damage and protect your investment. SERVPRO of Bangor/Ellsworth and SERVPRO of Bar Harbor provide expert water damage restoration, acting quickly to prevent secondary damage and restore your Orono property efficiently.
Water Damage Restoration in Orono, ME
Orono properties, particularly those older homes near the Stillwater River or those with basements common in the area's housing stock, face unique challenges when water damage strikes. Persistent spring thaws and heavy summer downpours can lead to sump pump failures or foundation leaks, allowing water to penetrate quickly. Our team understands these local vulnerabilities. We don't just extract water; we employ advanced drying techniques, including industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers, to address moisture hidden within structural elements like the wood framing prevalent in many Orono residences. This thorough approach prevents long-term issues like wood rot or compromised subfloors, ensuring your home is dried completely and safely within a critical 72-hour window.
Fire Damage Restoration in Orono, ME
Recovering from fire damage in Orono requires a specialized approach that considers the specific construction and heating systems common throughout the town. Many homes, from the historic Victorian-era houses to the more modern builds, rely on wood stoves or oil furnaces, which, while efficient, can present unique fire risks if not properly maintained. Our fire damage restoration process begins with immediate board-up and roof tarping to secure the property from further damage and weather exposure, a crucial step given Orono's harsh winters. We then focus on meticulous soot and smoke removal from all surfaces, including the often-porous plaster and lath walls found in older Orono homes, using specialized cleaning agents and equipment to eliminate odors and residues completely. Our goal is to restore your property and its contents, making it "Like it never even happened."
Mold Remediation in Orono
Orono's climate, characterized by humid summers and fluctuating temperatures, creates an environment ripe for mold growth, especially in basements, crawl spaces, and attics where ventilation may be limited. When water damage isn't addressed promptly or thoroughly, mold can begin to colonize within 24 to 48 hours, often hidden behind walls or under flooring. Our mold remediation process in Orono starts with a comprehensive inspection to identify all affected areas, even those not immediately visible. We then establish containment barriers to prevent mold spores from spreading to unaffected parts of your home, crucial for maintaining indoor air quality. Using industry-leading techniques and equipment, our certified technicians safely remove mold, clean and sanitize surfaces, and apply preventative treatments, ensuring your Orono property is healthy and mold-free.
Storm Damage Repair in Orono
Orono experiences a range of severe weather, from powerful nor'easters bringing heavy snow and ice to intense summer thunderstorms with high winds and torrential rain.

We provide emergency board-up and tarping to protect your home from further exposure, followed by water extraction and structural drying if flooding occurred. We address everything from minor roof leaks to major structural compromises, understanding the urgency of securing your property against Orono's unpredictable weather patterns, especially during the long winter months when a compromised roof can lead to extensive interior damage.

What our Orono customers are saying
Thanks for all your help getting the ball rolling on so many fronts, with all of the contractors and your crew. It's nice to know that there are people out there who take pride in their job and show up when people call, especially when they have emergencies. I'm going to tell everyone about you, so if anybody has problems they can call on weekends and not have to worry about people flaking out on emergency calls and not show up. Kudos to you and your top-notch crew!
Had to use the services of this company this past weekend. They had a timely response and the workers who came to resolve the issue were extremely pleasant. Hope not to have to use the service again but if we do, then this will be the company we call and will refer others to their services.
Mike at SERVPRO was so helpful to us when we had a water leak that filled our basement and first-floor bathroom with water. He walked us through the process they use to dry out the house and checked in with us every step of the way over the few days they were doing work in our home. Highly recommend them for any kind of work like this.
I sustained water damage to my bathroom, & bedroom floors and garage ceiling and called Serve Pro upon making the discovery. They agreed to come to my house immediately to assess the situation and then came back promptly with all of their drying equipment which they set up to mitigate the damage. They came to my house every day for 5 days to assess the progress, locked up my home afterwards and called to report. The bill was submitted directly to my insurance carrier. I felt they were trustworthy to be in my home and was I very happy with their service.
I got a call one morning while I was at work from a contractor who had stopped by to do a job. When he opened the basement door he found a completely flooded basement. The pipe to a hose had frozen and burst sometime during the winter. I had just recently started using the hose to water plants and my habit was to turn the faucet on and turn it off when I was finished. The evening before I had not turned off the hose so for around 20 hours water spewed across my finished family room. there are four other rooms in my basement and they were all flooded. I didn't have any idea how I was going to handle this so I called SERVPRO. Mike showed up within the hour, took one look at the situation, and declared, we do this all the time, I've got this. His team arrived and they began the clean up. This was on a Thursday evening about 3pm and by 1:00 the next day the demolition was done and every item was removed, loaded onto a truck to be disposed of, and the dehumidifiers and fans in place. I was incredibility grateful for the service this team provided. I hope I never have another leak in my basement but if I did I would without hesitation call them again.
If there is a pleasant part to having a flooded basement, it was the absolutely fantastic job SERVPRO of Bangor/Ellsworth did cleaning it up! Professional work all the way by professional, knowledgeable and caring people who arrived within an hour of bring called! And, they came back when they said they would to check out and finish the job...sometimes rare these days. Thank you SERVPRO, you are the best!
When your sewer backs up you leave the house. You call a capable plumber to clear the drain so the sewage drains out and then you better call SERVPRO to clean up the mess and make your home safe again. Why SERVPRO, especially SERVPRO of Bangor and Ellsworth Maine? Because the owner, Mike, over delivers and will do everything right to get you back to “happy”. This was my second time with these guys as a water pipe broke while I was in Florida a few years ago and they did a great job getting our cellar cleaned up. This time I had no hesitation in calling them again. Also, my insurance company totally agreed with my decision. SERVPRO was fast, thorough, and made my wife and me “happy” again. Thank you Mike and your team of professionals.
Recently, a broken pipe in our new home led to quite a bit of damage. Literally, after our insurance agent left our home and made a referral to SERVPRO, we received a call from SERVPRO who offered to inspect our home that same night. -Work started the next morning at 9:30. We are very satisfied with their speed, thoroughness, communication, and attention to detail. -It wasn’t an easy job, nor a fun one but no one on the crew expressed that to us. We would definitely recommend SERVPRO to anyone who finds themselves in the same situation.
Superior help, thorough, explained everything, friendly and great follow-up.
