Disasters come in many shapes and sizes and all can be devastating. Nobody understands this better than the professionals at SERVPRO. From floods to blizzards to hurricanes and major fires, any kind of disaster can take an emotional and financial toll on a community. SERVPRO technicians have the training and equipment to handle all types of damage and restore your home or commercial property so it looks “Like it never even happened”.

Since our founding, SERVPRO has provided quality professional restoration and remediation services across the country. The Disaster Recovery Team has mobilized to support cleanup after major large storm events including Hurricane Irene, the 2009 California wildfires, Super Storm Sandy, and the 2013 Colorado floods.

Aside from flooding, there are other specific challenges that home and commercial property owners in the Summit, Lake, Park, and Eagle county areas may face. These can include snowstorms, ice dams, and wildfires. All of these can bring about water, soot, and smoke damage and may lead to even worse damage if not handled quickly. In particular, untreated water damage can lead to potentially hazardous mold infestation, which can easily affect an entire property.

Winter weather is a particular concern here in Colorado and it brings its own unique issues. Sudden, heavy snowfall is a regular occurrence throughout the winter and it can put a tremendous amount of stress on roofs as it piles up. At the same time, ice can also build up on roofs and gutters, causing ice dams that may trap water and lead to severe leaks.

Of course, storms can occur at any time of the year and serious thunderstorms may lead to everything from backed-up gutters to leaking roofs and in the worst cases, catastrophic flash flooding. Water can be much more damaging than many people realize and even the smallest amount of standing water can lead to major problems if it isn’t treated quickly and thoroughly.

No matter what kind of disaster you’re facing, you need to have a name you can trust to help with your cleanup and restoration needs. With franchises across the country, SERVPRO has been that name for many people. Our technicians have the training and equipment to handle all of your water restoration, fire restoration, and mold remediation needs and we’re always ready to respond 24/7 to get the process started as soon as possible.
