What our
customers are saying
I would never hesitate to refer anyone to SERVPRO of the Dutch Fork - you all went the extra mile for us! Thank you all for your professionalism and respect!
We are so glad we got someone who could handle this cleaning job. We tried several companies who would not do it. Thank you for you hard work.
My father and I are delighted with the splendid work done by SERVPRO of The Dutch Fork. The entrance hall to our home looks just as it did before the water damage. To me, this is amazing, this is magic! You all are so very talented. You have healed my father's home. Thank you!
"In late May we experienced a huge storm which flooded a guest house on our property. Rugs over hardwood floors, soaked. Baseboards in the bath, soaked. I had heard of the SERVPRO service through one of their former clients but had had no personal experience with their service.
Gave them a call and they were on-site within hours. Pulled the rugs, vacuumed up the water and installed several dryer units. The rugs were cleaned and dried. The floors were tested and were above code for dampness. They continued to be dried by the blow units for several days. Due to their quick response; we were fortunate that the dampness readings returned to normal without further damage.
Their professionals were very knowledgeable and made us aware of the reason and results of each step of their process.
As an added plus, my insurance company had a great deal of experience with their service and immediately approved my claim.
I highly recommend their service."
"Very friendly and helpful staff. Very knowledgeable about what they are doing and do minimal deconstruction to prevent anymore damage that has already been done. Very responsive to phone calls with questions or concerns about the equipment or time frame of the service."
"We moved to Lexington, SC just recently and discovered that our house had mold growing in the crawl space. Chris and his crew were recommended by some friends who had used them previously. I'm so glad we called them! Their office staff walked us through what would need to be done and their technicians were so kind to work around the sleeping schedule of our newborn."
Again, thank you and your staff so very much. It was a pleasure working with your company.
I highly recommend SERVPRO of The Dutch Fork. There are multiple reasons on which I give this recommendation. First, this company hires quality employees. Their workers knew what to do and how to do it correctly. Also, all employees were professional, respectful and began work on time. Second, the materials they used were of good quality. They did not try to install inferior products. Third, they built a positive working relationship with my insurance agent. Continuous coordination among all involved parties made my restoration process flow smoothly. Last, Their project manager and her staff represented their company in a positive and effective manner. All of the above-mentioned entities produced a stress free and successful endeavor. If needed, give SERVPRO of The Dutch Fork a call. You will be glad you did.
