University Park Cleanup and Restoration

When Water-Fire-Storm Damage Happens in University Park, SERVPRO Park Cities is Here to Help.

While often considered part of Highland Park, University Park is also its own city inside the boundaries of Dallas, Texas. It’s the home of Southern Methodist University and the George W. Bush Presidential Center. SMU is a private university that was founded in April of 1911 by the Methodist Episcopal Church and in partnership with Dallas civic leaders. The University is located on 234 acres of land just west of interstate 75. The city of University Park was founded in 1915 and began as a cluster of homes surrounding the University. Now the population has grown to over 25,278 according to the 2020 US Census. Highland Park Independent School District serves the children living in this city with eight schools; Armstrong Elementary, Boone Elementary, Bradfield Elementary, Hyer Elementary, University Park Elementary, Highland Park Middle School, McCulloch Intermediate School and Highland Park High School.

Many of the homes in these neighboring towns are considered historic and have unique risk factors for water or fire damage such as outdated wiring or older pipes. Throughout the past 50 years, SERVPRO has helped many home and business owners with water damage restoration or fire damage restoration. We have uncovered leaks, dried carpets, removed smoke, repaired roofs and even did reconstruction after the 2019 tornado. Our teams are always fast to respond and ready to help whenever there is water or fire damage that needs mitigation and restoration.

SERVPRO is also a proud sponsor of The First Responder Bowl game that is held in Dallas, Texas. Last year, on December 27th, The First Responder Bowl was held at the Gerald J. Ford Stadium on SMU campus in University Park. The First Responder Bowl is a college bowl game that honors the First Responders. These men and women are the first on scene when an emergency occurs in homes and businesses. Our community is very important to us and this is why we take every opportunity to give back.
