Well Trained Technicians

1/13/2022 (Permalink)

Here at SERVPRO we always make it a goal to have a knowledgeable crew that are experts in mitigation and remediation. One way we do this is by requiring that our technicians take IICRC certified courses. These courses train our technicians in water and fire mitigation as well as mold remediation. These courses go over important terminology, theories, and techniques that are necessary for completing our jobs. It is also great to see when our clients notice that our technicians are well trained. We see this when clients leave reviews. They are always mentioning how knowledgeable our crew members are and they are always very appreciative. We are confident that our technicians can take on any kind of job and complete it to the best of their abilities.

We Work With Your Insurance

11/1/2021 (Permalink)

A reason why our clients choose to work with us is because of our established relationships with insurance companies. Whenever a client suffers a fire or water loss, their insurance will usually cover the loss and is involved throughout the whole process. The client is also under lots of stress and doesn't know what to do or how to handle the situation. That’s where we come in. Our team knows how to handle these situations and we work closely with the insurance providers. When a loss occurs, we get in touch with the insurance provider and work with them every step of the way. We document all the damages and communicate with the insurance to make sure that all the work we do gets approved. The only thing that the client has to worry about is paying their deductible. Nothing else. Here at SERVPRO, we make the restoration process as easy as can be. 

24/7 Emergency Service

Our SERVPRO team offers 24/7 emergency service. This means that no matter the time or day, our team will respond to your emergency call. We always make sure to have team members available, even on weekends. Just recently, there was a homeowner that experienced a pipe burst in his home’s ceiling. This resulted in the ceiling collapsing and most of the home being flooded. Did I mention that this occurred at 3 in the morning? Our team still answered the call and made sure to assist the homeowner promptly. The homeowner was very appreciative and our team felt proud to have assisted a client during such a difficult time. Our team won’t back away from helping clients no matter the circumstances. This is a big reason why our clients choose to come to us and leave satisfied by our work.

Technology

5/18/2021 (Permalink)

Here at SERVPRO of Monrovia, we utilize the latest and greatest in technology. Just recently, we started using Matterport. Matterport is a 3D camera that allows for things like pictures, measurements and virtual tours. This allows us the ability to be on the project without having to actually be there. Since we can get measurements from this, we can get precise measurements on even the smallest things. We can also use this tool to send over to insurance adjusters so they can see everything that needs to take place as well as everything that we have already done. This allows for no stones to be left unturned. Technology like this is important to us and it is something we love to use in the modern day.   

Quality Control

5/13/2021 (Permalink)

Here at SERVPRO of Monrovia, we understand that nobody wants to have to call us. However, we want our clients to know that if something ever does happen where you need to call us, we are going to be there for you and make sure we surpass their expectations. This approach can sometimes be tedious, but it is very necessary in order for a smooth process. We will ask questions like what are they hoping for in hiring us, when are they looking to get everything done and how they would like to be communicated with. These questions are a way to know exactly how we can deliver an excellent service to our clients. At the end of the project, we always ask if there anything we could have done so we know next to make sure we do an even better job. 

Home Tips

Examining Roof Shingles

Inspect your roofing to see if any shingles were damaged or lost during the winter. A leak in your roof can often times go unnoticed before the water coming through has severely damaged your home's structure and possibly your belongings. A wet spot on the ceiling or dripping water from above sometimes indicates that there might be a leak in your roof. One way to deal with this situation is a service we provide called Roof Tarping and can temporarily be installed over the damaged area of the roof to prevent any further damage to your home while major repairs are being planned and executed.

Checking your Gutters

While you're up there, it is a great idea to inspect your gutters. Out of sight and out of mind, is not always a good thing especially when it comes to gutters. Be sure to inspect all your gutters and drainage systems to make sure they are properly directing water away from your home. This happens to be one of the most common causes for water damage around the home, mainly because people never inspect their home’s drainage systems. Preventative measures can save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars in home repairs. It is important to recognize a drainage problem and address it as soon as possible because it can lead water into the basement or crawl space.

Properly Certified

10/27/2020 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Monrovia is an IICRC firm. The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) creates the standards for the restoration industry and provides training and certification to restoration companies. IICRC Certified Firms have the right to display the IICRC Certified Logo.

IICRC Certified Firms must

• Present accurate information to consumers and conduct business with honesty and integrity.

• Require a technician on all jobs who has been formally trained and passed all required tests.

• Require a continuing education program to keep technicians up-to-date on the latest changes in the industry.

• Maintain liability insurance to protect all parties in the event of an accident.

• Maintain a written complaint policy and agree to Better Business Bureau or similar arbitration to resolve disputes, and accept the conclusions and recommendations of arbitration.

The IICRC Develops The Standards For The Restoration Industry

The IICRC has been the driving force in establishing the main industry standards and reference guides for professional carpet cleaning, water damage restoration and mold remediation. These IICRC standards take years to develop and require the coordination of experts in the field: manufacturers, industry organizations, insurance professionals, training schools, contractors, and public health professionals.

Every five years, the standards are reviewed and updated. The water damage restoration field changes rapidly with advancements in technology and science, and therefore the standards must evolve to keep up to date.

Special Treatment

9/23/2020 (Permalink)

There's no way we can treat every job the same. Every experience we have is unique to the person and house we visit. We are lucky to have reliable technicians and equipment to take on all sorts of jobs because everyday brings in something new. Sometimes we have local jobs, and other days we are traveling across town. We load up our trucks with equipment and cleaning materials, and when we don't have enough of one thing we find local vendors to help us out. We will even rent trucks that are double the size of our trucks to help move equipment from job to job. There are times when we only need a limited amount of materials and there are times when we need multiples of every thing we carry in our warehouse. Sometimes our jobs last 3 days and sometimes they can last up to 3 months. We never know who's calling, and we don't know what kind of job is waiting for us. That's the great thing about SERVPRO of Monrovia, every day feels like a new day. We see every job with fresh eyes.

She recognized us right away and we remembered that she had the cutest dog! If only we had a company dog we could take with us everywhere!  We spoke for a while and she was still very thankful for our services. We felt so good afterwards. This is what keeps us going. We enjoy getting to know our clients. They give us wings.

There are numerous billboards and commercials that do a great job at marketing restoration companies. We see them all the time. One of the great things about SERVPRO is that we don't need gimmicks. Our work speaks for itself. You can't hire a marketing team to prove why our customer service is the best. There is no billboard or commercial that can prove how efficient we are.

We are the only ones who make customer service a priority. When we get a call about damage, we make sure that the customer is out of harms way.

How Much Will It Be?

5/22/2019 (Permalink)

Our pricing system is incredibly detailed and fair!

One of the most common questions asked to us when we arrive to a disaster site is, "Ok I understand there is a problem here, but how much will it be?". Unfortunately, due to the nature of water and mold, doing the work is inevitable. As a franchise with a very great reputation, we want to make sure that both sides are treated fairly.

Xactimate is the estimating software that SERVPRO and our insurance partners use. It is the most trusted software in the industry. We calculate the cost of the project by sketching the area on site, and then inputting very detailed line items and descriptions of the charges. We do not select the price. It is an industry standard which ensures fairness to our clients. 

Why SERVPRO?
