No matter what type of disaster you face, SERVPRO of Biddeford-Saco is only a phone call away.

As a locally owned and operated SERVPRO location, we relate to the problems that business owners run into daily. There are many obstacles you must prepare for when running a business, and an unpredictable disaster is one of the most difficult challenges that your company may face.

While disasters can be unpredictable, you can do all you can to prepare yourself for them.

In addition to the damage disasters inflict on businesses, we recognize the severe damage these emergencies can do to homes as well. No matter the extent of the damage, trying to recover after a disaster can be very stressful.

To protect everyone in your home from disaster, you should develop an emergency plan as well. Preparing an emergency plan starts with knowing what types of disasters are most prevalent in our area.

The American Red Cross created an incredible website that collects information from resources all over the nation to help you prepare for any form of disaster. The American Red Cross in Maine has locations all over Maine to provide training and respond to any local natural disasters that may affect your community.

No matter if you own a home, a business or both, there’s no doubt your property could be affected by a disaster at some point. That’s why any emergency situation needs to be restored promptly to prevent any further damage. Here’s why our team is the one to call:

Why Choose SERVPRO?

We can assess your unique property damage in order to execute an appropriate restoration plan.

Our services are available 247.

Whether your home or business was damaged by a manmade or natural disaster, a prompt response is necessary. Our team can act fast in order to quickly restore your residential or commercial property to its original state and prevent any future damage.

Water damage can wreak havoc on anything inside a building, such as furniture, fabrics and paint. And if the damage is left untreated for a long time, mold and mildew can begin to grow and compromise the building structure. That’s why our team can be on the scene of any emergency 247, any day of the year.

We offer more than just damage restoration. In addition to repairing the damage caused by a disaster, we handle every aspect of the process.

SERVPRO Has the Restoration Experts You Can Trust | SERVPRO® of Biddeford-Saco

4/21/2022 (Permalink)

No matter the damage sustained, SERVPRO Biddeford-Saco has the tools and team to help your home return to a normal state quickly.

There’s more to SERVPRO than general cleanup, restoration or construction services. We’re here to take care of you when even the worst natural or manmade disasters strike.

Your local SERVPRO has you covered whether you’re experiencing flooding in your Biddeford-Saco home or the remnants of a large storm hit your business. Here’s what we can offer you 247:

Water Damage

Flooding can occur at any time, and whether it’s an inch or a foot, it can cause serious damage. In fact, floods cause more than $10 billion in damages nationwide every year.

If you’re a home or business owner, it’s likely you will encounter flooding issues in your lifetime, but SERVPRO has the tools to deal with the damages. We’ll help you understand the severity of the damage, so you’re able to make the right choice for restoration.

We have the tools to detect hidden moisture and extract standing water. We’ll also assist you in developing a water damage restoration plan to ensure your home is clean, dry and restored to preloss condition.

Fire Damage

A fire department in the United States responds to a fire every 23 seconds, and there was roughly $8.1 billion in direct property damage and losses nationwide in 2020. If your home or business has sustained fire damage, we’ll jump right into action with our seven-step restoration process.

This starts with an inspection and damage assessment and progresses through all the necessary, in-between steps before starting repairs and construction.

Storm Damage

Storms can bring around anything from floods and wildfires to tornadoes, hurricanes and blizzards. Our goal is always to have you back in your newly restored home as soon as possible.

Storm damage can include more than just flooding, as seen in Maine in November 2021. According to the Maine Department of Transportation, significant flooding happened in the Midcoast area of the state. In Saco, a sinkhole opened up on Summer Street. Additionally, in Biddeford, a large chunk of the wall and adjacent pedestrian lookout along the Saco River was swept away by water during the storm.

Storm and water damage can affect not only the structure of your home but your belongings as well. SERVPRO specializes in content restoration, with the mindset of restoring rather than replacing.

Some of the services we offer include dry cleaning, wet cleaning, foam cleansing and abrasive cleaning. If your home requires a more extensive clean, we also offer move-out services, so we can bring your home back to preloss condition as soon as possible.

What Sets SERVPRO Apart?

We’re there when you need us. You can reach out to a SERVPRO expert via our 247 Emergency Line day or night and receive immediate assistance.

Our experts in green are part of the No. 1 cleanup and restoration team in the nation with more than 50 years experience. We’re locally owned and operated, but we’re also backed by a network of more than 1,900 locations around the United States, so you can rest assured we’ll have your home or business back to “Like it never even happened” status as quickly as possible.

Regardless of the type of damage sustained, SERVPRO has the tools and teams to help your home or business recover from its disastrous effects. Contact us anytime when you need a dependable team to help you rebuild your life.

Paul Jurgiewich, Production Manager at SERVPRO of Biddeford-Saco

In May of this year our newest Production Manager, Paul Jurgiewich joined our team.  Not only did he come to SERVPRO of Biddeford-Saco with experience in both property maintenance and mold remediation (as a previous industrial hygienist) he brought charisma and unity to our team.

He leads our crews with a safety topic every morning and uses the time to thoroughly explain not only what needs to be done for our customers but also why we are doing what we do.  There is complete transparency into his work ethic and remediation skills. He is the first to volunteer to go to jobs over the weekend when the crew need his help and works late to ensure our customers get their estimates as promised.

His hobbies include bike riding, exploring the outdoors (either on his Harley or boat).  He has a passion for cars and off-roading (maybe more in his younger days) and loves dogs.  

Paul is our seasoned expert in mold and a pro at determining where water and odor losses are coming from.  Give us a call today to set up an appointment with him at 207-283-4428.

Does Cheaper Mean Better?

8/13/2019 (Permalink)

It's 2019 and with the help of Google the world is at our fingertips.  Going on vacation?  Here's over 100+ websites rating the best resorts and destinations of your choice and another 100+ offering you a better rate and deal.  You narrow down your selections based of reviews and pick one that fits your budget! 

Now say someone rear ends your brand new car.  Your insurance gives you a list of places where you can get it fixed.  You may google a few, look at their reviews and move forward with say the top 3.  You get quotes from all three.  Now do you pick the cheapest or the one that seemed most detailed and knowledgeable?

The same idea applies to home insurance claims as well.  Often times we hear homeowners say they have someone who can do it cheaper, or they let us know their adjuster wants them to go with the cheapest company.  It is your home and you always have the right to choose which mitigation company you would like to do the work; however, cheaper doesn't always mean better.  SERVPRO of Biddeford-Saco always follows 18 inches beyond the affected area to ensure we leave no surprises behind.  Leaving water in building materials (especially porous materials) can lead to mold growth (surprise!).  Which can cause health issues for yourself and family.  

Did you know SERVPRO of Biddeford-Saco uses moisture meters every day on-site to ensure we dry every affected material before we pull our industry grade drying equipment.  We also have thermal imaging cameras for areas of question we may not be able to penetrate with a moisture meter.

Did you also know we guarantee our work?
