Why SERVPRO?

During a water loss, SERVPRO of Birmingham's #1 is to remediate and restore affected structural materials (drywall, baseboards, flooring, etc.). Removal of affected materials may be required, but we want to cause as little damage as possible in order to properly dry your home. In this photo, our technicians have removed the affected drywall, requiring replacement.

During a mold mediation job it is important for a mediation company to create barriers and contain the area which is effected. This helps prevent cross contamination in areas which are not effected. This prevent the spreading of the mold infestation.

Eric and Beth team up to prepare for storms in our official Storm Team Wilson Headquarters also known as our Pelham office! We appreciate all their hard work and plenty of overtime during these storm events! 

While everyone else was preparing for Hurricane Florence, I’m not sure what Chris was doing?! In this business there isn't very much down time but when there is we love to joke around, we're one big family! 

All hands on deck! One team, one dream!

Some of our marketing team had to jump in and help extract today at a commercial water job! When we are busy, everyone pitches in where assistance is needed. 

Before of a water heater malfunction; it was located in the attic above the kitchen. Our crews came right in and cleaned up the mess after this unfortunate event! All SERVPRO technicians are professionally trained. 

Another late night and early morning for the on call crew!

Residues (such as burning plastics or the soot from furnace disorders) form long chains of ionized smoke particles that assemble in corners or at junctions of walls and ceilings which are called smoke webs!

This commercial business had microbial growth on the ceilings, walls, and in the HVAC unit. Containment was set and negative air put in. As well as the contents covered. 

Most commercial clients want these conditions fixed as quickly as possible especially if there is any interference with daily business. 

No one wants to deal with a leaky pipe but this residence had one in their upstairs bathroom. The drywall had to be removed and equipment set, the bottom flooring was affected but SERVPRO of Birmingham came in had it dry within days!

The hot water heater flooded the hallway and bathroom in this home. The flooring and baseboards had to be removed; the walls and flooring had to be treated. The job only took a few days to dry. 

If you have any questions about what we do or why we do it, give us a call!

Devices do catch on fire, even on a bed - be cautious! SERVPRO of Birmingham did general clean up and set an air scrubber. We also wet washed the walls, sponged ceilings, cleaned all contents, and vacuumed/swept/mopped all floors.

Our large loss team headed to New Orleans, Louisiana in February 2017 to help local franchises with clean up from tornadoes. 

These tornadoes caused this entire store to have water damage, which was around 50,000 square feet. 

SERVPRO of Birmingham teamed up with State Farm to sponsor The American Red Cross Blood Drive at the Wynfrey Hotel. We were able to volunteer and help the Red Cross, as well as inform people what we do! It was a win win! 

In February 2017 we had an open house and ribbon cutting for completing our building "phase 2". City of Pelham Mayor Gary Waters is pictured here with SERVPRO of Birmingham owners Brady, Benji, and David Wilson.

Besides causing a major business interruption, a mold problem can present a serious health risk for people exposed at your commercial property. Mold infestations can be caused by minor water intrusions, like a slow roof leak or loose plumbing fitting. Every hour spent cleaning up is an hour of lost revenue and productivity. If you suspect your property has a mold problem, call  SERVPRO of Birmingham, who will respond quickly and work fast to manage the situation.

SERVPRO of Birmingham is ready for whatever happens! Whether it's commercial or residential. We are always here to help! Our employees are highly trained and professional. You will always see our branded trucks as well as all employees in SERVPRO uniforms! 

This commercial water damage happened on the 7th floor and ended up all the way on the bottom floor. This was due to the sprinkler system going off and crews were on the scene for a couple weeks to get everything back "Like It Never Even Happened!"

A local Birmingham restaurant experienced fire damage; towels close to the fuse box caught on fire which affected most of the kitchen area. A little over 3,000 square footage being treated. 

This was a commercial mold remediation caused by the HVAC unit. The vent cover was removed; wiped out and treated the return and cleaned both vents. HEPA vacuumed the walls and ceilings as well as book shelves, desk and light fixtures; and then wet washed the book shelves, walls and ceilings.

We use specialized equipment and techniques to remove smoke and soot from ceilings, walls, and other surfaces. 

 

We clean, sanitize, and disinfect all of the restorable items and structures that were damaged by the fire. We use a variety of cleaning techniques to restore your belongings to pre-fire condition. We’re also trained to remove odors using industrial air scrubbers and fogging equipment.

Our Water Damage Restoration Process

Every water damage situation is a little different, and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” water damage emergency.

Step 1: Emergency Contact

Step 2: Inspection and Damage Assessment

Step 3: Water Removal/Water Extraction

Step 4: Drying and Dehumidification

Step 5: Cleaning and Repair

Step 6: Restoration

An immediate response helps to minimize the damage and the cleaning and restoration costs.

Within Minutes

• Water quickly spreads throughout your property, saturating everything in its path.
• Water is absorbed into walls, floors, upholstery, and belongings.
• Furniture finishes may bleed, causing permanent staining on carpets.
• Photographs, books, and other paper goods start to swell and warp.

2016 has been very busy for Storm Team Wilson as we traveled to Houston early in the year, Louisiana, and then shortly after Georgia and surrounding states to help with flooding. 

This year our office decided to collect money and donate instead of playing "dirty santa" or buying gifts for one another. We ended up buying numerous gift cards that were sent to The Lovelady Center for teenagers to enjoy Christmas. We're thankful for all the staff that contributed to a great cause! 

Look who was spotted at in Trussville at the Christmas Parade; some of our Sales and Marketing Team! The parade goes through downtown historic Trussville and is free for locals to enjoy!

Some of our Sales and Marketing Team joined in on the Alabaster Christmas Parade. SERVPRO of Birmingham tries to stay involved in Birmingham as well as other local communities. This includes parades, chambers, fire departments, and other organizations!

This apartment was affected by heavy moisture and mold because the tenant left for a long period of time and left the air conditioning unit off. This affected the ceiling, walls, closet, and the carpet, totaling about 540 square footage. 

Fires can be especially devastating to your home or business. After the fire trucks leave, your property will likely suffer from not only fire and smoke damage, but also widespread water damage and flooding from firefighting efforts. SERVPRO Franchise Professionals have specialized fire and water damage restoration training and experience to quickly clean up and restore your home to pre-fire condition. They also can remove the pervasive smoke odor and deep-clean soot from upholstery and carpet. 

This house fire started in the attic, it affected most of the structure. Roof tarping and board up were needed. 

Besides the obvious advantage of lower costs, our “restore first” mentality also gets you back into your home or business quicker and with less disruption to your life.

Brad heard the news! Have you??

There are three major types of contaminated water. SERVPRO of Birmingham will inspect that contaminated water to determine the type of water and then plan the appropriate response to safely restore your home or business.

• Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
• Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
• Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
• Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
• Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
• Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.

Confusion and misunderstanding surround the topic of mold and mold remediation. Some restoration businesses even make claims to remove all mold from a building. This is a fallacy. Mold spores occur naturally almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. These microscopic spores float along in the air and can enter a home or business through windows and HVAC systems.

This residential water damage was caused by a pipe bursting in a concrete wall which affected the carpet and contents in the basement of the home. Carpet and padding had to be removed. 

If your home or business has been damaged by severe floods or storms, call us right away. Disaster can strike when we least expect it, but SERVPRO of Birmingham will be there to help you weather the storm.

Faster Response

Since we are locally owned and operated, we are able to respond quicker with the right resources, which is extremely important. A fast response lessens the damage, limits further damage, and reduces the restoration cost.

Resources to Handle Floods and Storms

When storms hit, we can scale our resources to handle a large storm or flooding disaster. We can access equipment and personnel from a network of 1,650 Franchises across the country and elite Disaster Recovery Teams that are strategically located throughout the United States.

SERVPRO of Birmingham has provided major sponsorship for BOMA fall golf tournament for many years. And this year may have been the best ever! SERVPRO's customer support staff worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this a great day of golf the BOMA and its guests alike. We appreciate the relationships we have made over the years through BOMA. 

Since SERVPRO has a partnership with the American Red Cross, all money raised at the tournament was matched and donated to our local chapter. Our team decided that it should go towards their Home Fire Prevention Campaign, which seemed only fitting. Fire Prevention Week was in October and we work closely with local fire departments as we try to promote fire safety.

Here, we have a commercial water damage due to the sprinkler system bursting which affected 5 floors totaling 10,000 square feet. There was also at least 2-3 inches of standing water.

SERVPRO of Birmingham has the training, experience, and equipment to handle large commercial flooding or water damage emergencies. Whether your water emergency occurs in a small office building or big box store, we will respond quickly to mitigate the damage and manage the restoration project through to its completion.

Here we have a basement level sewage backup. Sewage backups are grossly unsanitary and considered category 3 "black water" which can cause illness or even death. Any contact should be avoided especially if there is feces or microbial growth. This is an emergency situation which should be dealt with as soon as possible. SERVPRO of Birmingham has trained staff with expertise in this area, we can safely restore your home or business.

This is a residence where the dryer caught of fire leaving damage from smoke and soot. Don't wait around to give us a call. We make it "Like it never even happened."

In August 2016, prolonged rainfall hit the southern part of the state of Louisiana causing disastrous flooding. SERVPRO of Birmingham is headquarters for Storm Team Wilson. Which means when an immense disaster strikes in the South East part of the United States, our storm team becomes activated sending teams from franchises all over the country into the direct path that was hit; in this case, Louisiana. Pictured here, we have SERVPRO working in a local grocery store that was flooded and had to be completely gutted. Many homes and businesses were in ruin with a few feet of standing water, no power, and even damaged as high as the ceiling. 

SERVPRO Industries, Inc. was founded in 1967. SERVPRO of Birmingham has been proud to serve the communities of Jefferson and Shelby counties since 1984. In 2007, we had outgrown our existing facilities, so we had to relocate some of our staff in multiple facilities in the Pelham and Chelsea/Westover areas. In January 2015, we broke ground on a 3-phase building project, designed to bring us all back into one location. Phase one was complete in December 2015, and now we are currently in phase two. We hope to complete this phase sometime in October, with a ribbon cutting in early November. Check out the progress!
