When Fire-Water-Storm Damage Happens in Velva, We're Ready

Whether you're looking for restoration, cleanup or construction services, we're here to help 24/7.

Velva is a central, North Dakota city southeast of Minot in an area originally explored by English explorer and geographer David Thompson, who mapped out the Missouri River and Knife River areas in the late 1700s. Lewis and Clark didn’t come through for another seven years. The David Thompson Monument honoring Thompson’s achievements is located northeast of town and overlooks the Souris River. Northwest of town, outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy nature at Black Butte Adventures, where hiking and biking trails, camping and ag tourism await. The route to and from Velva includes many nearby national wildlife refuges and the area also is a prime hunting area. 

Velva is also known for Dot's Pretzels, the famous salty snack that is hard to stop eating! Dot’s Pretzels produces unforgettable, gourmet seasoned pretzels that are ideal for a family gathering or company event. Manufactured in Velva, and sold in over 500 retail outlets throughout North Dakota, Bloomberg recognized Dot’s Pretzel’s as one of the top summer snacks of 2014. Dot’s Pretzels is the fastest-growing U.S. pretzel brand among brands with more than $10 million in annual U.S. retail sales, according to Hershey, who just recently bought the company for $1.2 billion. The company said Dot’s represented 55% of growth in the pretzel category over the past year.

In the summer of 2011, when the valley of Minot was up to its shingles in water, Velva held strong against the rushing currents of the Souris River with thousands of sandbags on the levee systems. Velva was lucky then, but if the river were to ever flood again, and not be so lucky next time, SERVPRO of Minot is ready to help with water and flood damage and get the strong community back on its feet.
