Potosi was founded in 1763 by a French soldier, hunter, and adventurer Francis Azor who discovered lead ore and turned Potosi into a pewter, lead, and zinc mining town. People came from all over to join the mining trade, and it wasn’t long before the town was established with homes, stores, mills, shops, and towers. Potosi is also home to the oldest standing Presbyterian church west of the Mississippi River, located on West Breton Street.

Potosi is known for its business district and the many Fortune 500 companies that call it home. Unfortunately, a large flood or fire can stop businesses in their tracks. Large businesses must partner with SERVPRO to create an Emergency Response Plan in case of a storm or an accident. Our residents must also prepare for water damage restoration and fire damage restoration before it happens. Mitigation and restoration are two specialties of SERVPRO, our most reliable team first to the disaster scene. Especially knowing that Missouri’s seasons fluctuate between extreme heat and cold, Potosi residents depend on SERVPRO for these services all year. 

For example, Spring brings floods, summer brings lightning, and winter brings deep freezes - all potential disasters to home and business owners. The citizens of Potosi rely on SERVPRO to battle these seasonal emergencies quickly and effectively, helping to prevent further damage. Unfortunately, some faulty wiring and appliances cause as much water or fire damage as a seasonal storm. Accidents happen, but being prepared for one makes a difference in the extent of the damage. Leave water damage restoration and fire damage restoration to the experts. SERVPRO’s highly skilled technicians and top-of-the-line equipment expertly mitigate, restore, and rebuild so that the people of Potosi feel “Like it never even happened!”®
