About Us
When water, fire, smoke, or mold damages your home or business anywhere in the Lake Houston area, SERVPRO of Lake Houston responds 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year. We serve the communities ringing Lake Houston, from Atascocita and the master-planned neighborhoods of Walden on Lake Houston, Eagle Springs, and Summerwood to the historic timber settlement of Harmaston on the lake's northwestern edge. Our certified local crews know this market, a place defined by the water itself, where custom waterfront homes, lakeside subdivisions, marinas, and the offices and retail centers along FM 1960 and West Lake Houston Parkway all sit within reach of the San Jacinto River and the reservoir it feeds. They also know how fast Southeast Texas weather, from the floodwaters that follow a tropical system and force releases at the Lake Houston dam to the hard winter freezes that burst pipes, can damage a property.
We provide water damage restoration, fire and smoke damage restoration, mold remediation, sewage and biohazard cleanup, storm and flood recovery, specialty and general cleaning, air duct and HVAC cleaning, contents packout, commercial restoration, and full reconstruction. Every project begins with a clear, documented scope of work for your insurance carrier and is explained to you at each step.
What sets SERVPRO of Lake Houston apart is the combination of local knowledge and professional capability. Our crew chiefs and production managers are IICRC certified in Water Damage Restoration, Applied Structural Drying, Fire and Smoke Restoration, Odor Control, and Applied Microbial Remediation. We follow OSHA safety standards, including bloodborne pathogen, fall protection, and respirator protocols, and we carry American Bio Recovery Association certification for biohazard work. We work directly with all major insurance carriers, hold national account status with most, and communicate clearly with your adjuster so your claim keeps moving and closes quickly.
As part of the SERVPRO Team Shaw family and the acclaimed SERVPRO Disaster Recovery Team, with offices in all fifty states, we can scale our response to a single burst supply line or a regional event like Hurricane Harvey in 2017, when San Jacinto River flooding and Lake Houston dam releases inundated thousands of homes around the lake, or the February 2021 winter freeze that ruptured pipes across the region. From an Atascocita lakefront home to a business along FM 1960, we bring the same certified crews and the same standards to every job. Whatever the size of the loss, our goal is the same. We work quickly and thoroughly to make your home or business “Like it never even happened.”
