A Look at Southwest Harbor, ME
Southwest Harbor, located on the west side of Mount Desert Island in Hancock County, is a picturesque coastal community known for its maritime heritage and rugged beauty. Nestled along the shoreline of Somes Sound, the only natural fjord on the U.S. Atlantic coast, the town blends working-harbor charm with natural serenity calls this the “quiet side” of Mount Desert Island — ideal for those seeking a slower pace while still near Acadia National Park.
Founded in 1905, the town evolved from shipbuilding and fishing into a year-round community that welcomes summer visitors to its harbors, shops, and hiking trails. Among the local highlights is the Wonderland Trail — a scenic coastal walk offering views of tidal pools and the Atlantic’s rocky edge.
Nearby areas like Manset, Seawall, Wonderland, and Tremont expand SERVPRO’s service reach across the island, helping residents and businesses safeguard their coastal investments.
Local Conditions That Increase Risk
Water & Moisture
Southwest Harbor’s oceanfront setting means properties face salt spray, humidity, and heavy precipitation—nearly 47 inches of rain and over 60 inches of snow each year. Coastal storms and spring thaw can flood basements or cause roof leaks in older wood-framed homes.
Storm & Wind Exposure
High winds, nor’easters, and winter ice storms can tear shingles, topple trees, and drive salt-laden rain into buildings. Once the envelope is breached, secondary water damage and mold quickly follow.
Mold Growth
The combination of cool, damp air and limited ventilation in older island homes creates ideal conditions for mold. Crawlspaces and basements are especially vulnerable after flooding or condensation events.
Fire Risk
Historic architecture, wood siding, and busy commercial kitchens in local inns or restaurants raise the need for ongoing fire prevention and professional fire damage restoration when incidents occur.
These environmental and structural factors make SERVPRO’s 24/7 restoration and cleaning services essential for both residents and businesses.

What our Southwest Harbor 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.
