SERVPRO honors and remembers our nation's fallen heroes, Memorial Day and everyday. They fought and served for our country so that we can serve our local community. Smiles and cheers abound as the SERVPRO crew pulls down the street during the annual Memorial Day parade in Findlay on Monday, May 30, 2022.

Our crew was called out to a homeowners  basement with over 4-feet of water inside. In addition there were a multitude of the customers contents submerged in the water and floating. The crew successful pumped out the water,  removed the contents and cleaned the basement. Within a hard days work the customers home looked like "It Never Even Happened"  

Bathroom floor has molded due to improper care from the home owners. Leaving the shower curtain on the outside of the tub when showering. This allows water to run down the curtain and onto the floor. Overtime the floor began to retain water and mold began to grow. 

SERVPRO team was able to discover the problem, clean and dry the area and provide the customer with a way to mitigate the situation. Always shower with the shower curtain in the shower, so the water just ends up back in the tub.   

We were pleased to bring lunch to our North fire station last week. Thank you to our First Responders! We truly appreciate your dedication!

Our smoke damage demo room was a hit at the 1st Annual SERVPRO of Hancock County Expo!We had our team perform water extraction, smoke/soot removal, carpet and padding removal, and contents clean up. 

We are going to be performing a fire and smoke demonstration at our Expo on April 27th. Here we have built a replica room, in which we will demonstrate to our audience how we go about a fire damage job.

Our crew finally had a day with nice weather to perform grill hood cleaning at Keith's Dugout, here in Findlay, Ohio. After Keith's Dugout experienced a fire, most of their equipment was left with a soot and smoke residue. While our team was able to clean all other equipment in our warehouse, the grill hood needed to be power washed from the entrance on the roof. 

Keeping the grill hood clean and free from debris is important for safety and cleanliness of the restaurant and the guests. This is the debris catcher prior to the cleaning. Visit our before and after section to see what the cleaning process looks like!

When you experience a water loss, in many cases, the flooring and/or padding needs to be removed. Once our team sees that the padding will need removed, they perform removal and properly rid of the debris. This is what the floor typically looks like under basement flooring with removal. 

A local business asked up to clean their kitchen equipment recently. It's important to keep your cooking equipment in tip top shape in order to ensure the best cooking process for your restaurant. 

This home had a water leak that sprayed underneath their home for some time before they noticed. The turn out of that water and moisture was microbial growth underneath the home. Leaving microbial growth unattended can become a causing factor of rot. In this case, the growth is on wood, so it's good that these homeowners are having the situation taken care of earlier rather than later. 

Our crew had to remove the flooring, padding, and sub-floor to expose the entire area of growth. This ensured an easy and efficient remediation. We make sure to specially train our technicians so that the microbial growth jobs are being handled in a healthy and proper way.
