One technician can operate the unit and extract 1,200 square feet of carpet and pad in under 2 hours. We know how important it is to successfully restore your property and invest in the best equipment to make it "Like it never even happened."

Soot Covered Bathroom

A fire can easily leave your home filled with a thick layer of soot. If this soot is not cleaned correctly, it can do more harm than good to your home. If you experience fire damage, we are here to help! Our highly trained technicians have extensive experience with fire damage and restoring as much of your property as possible.

Soot Web

Many individuals wonder why after a fire, most of the soot webs reside in the corner's of the ceiling. In reality, most soot webs can be found on the ceiling since that is where it was cooler during the fire. Smoke/soot circulate towards cooler areas of a room which is typically the perimeter of the ceiling. The soot then clings together creating chains that resemble a spider web.

Paint Bubble

There are a variety of damages that can result from a fire. This homeowner experienced the paint on their walls begin to bubble from the extreme heat.

Rapid Mold Growth

Mold has the ability to grow and spread rapidly. This homeowner in West Michigan discovered mold in two bedrooms and a bathroom after a water loss. Mold has the ability to cause serious health concerns and should be handled by professionals.

Delaminated Carpet

This homeowner in Holland, MI experienced water damage after their sump pump malfunctioned. The malfunction was caused by the homeowner's cat dropping a ping pong ball into the pit.

High Water Table Flooding

Have Questions? Call Us Today – (616) 396-8180

Removing Wet Drywall

It is always our goal to restore rather than replace. When a sewer backup effected this homeowner's drywall, we carefully considered what could be dried and what had to be removed. As you can see, the amount of drywall that needed to be removed was reduced as it got further from the source. Our technicians only do what is necessary to effectively restore your property.

Pipe Break Causes Major Water Loss

Nobody wants to receive a phone call while on vacation to learn that a pipe broke in their home. A pipe break that isn't immediately discovered can be devastating. The ceiling began to fall in and the wood floor buckled as the water made its way through the different levels of the home. Water will find the lowest point that it can reach, and this home was an unfortunate example of that.

Ice Dam Results In Roof Leak

A West Michigan homeowner experienced an ice dam that resulted in a roof leak. The leak heavily effected the ceiling, walls, and carpet of the home. In order to properly dry the water damage, the drywall had to be removed. Once the structure is fully dried, the drywall is replaced.

PPE For Sewer Backup

It is of utmost importance to ensure the safety of our crew when working on biohazard jobs such as sewer backups. Our employees have the proper training and equipment to handle any mess!

Ceiling Falling In

If a water loss can be contained to one level, that often results in far less damage than a multiple level loss. When water begins seeping through to another floor, the ceiling will begin to fall in creating an additional mess.

Wilted Fan With Mold

Just when you think you have seen it all. This West Michigan homeowner experienced a pipe break that left their house filled with water and high humidity. This water loss resulted in a large amount of damage including this fan that had wilted from the moisture. The humidity in the home was so high that mold began to quickly appear on a variety of surfaces, including the top of the fan blades.

Protective Containment

We take a lot of pride in being a company willing to go above and beyond. When this commercial facility experienced extensive water damage, plaster had to be removed. In order to protect the customer's belongings from dust, our technicians installed plastic containments. This reduced the amount of cleanup required and ensured that there was no further damage done to unaffected contents. 

Faster To Any-Sized Disaster

When your commercial facility experiences water damage, time is of the essence. Often times the number one priority is getting back up and running as quickly as possible. With our 24 hour emergency service, we will come to the rescue in your time of need. Within 24 hours of a water loss, extensive damage begins to take place such as:

  • Drywall begins to swell and break down.
  • Metal surfaces begin to tarnish.
  • Furniture begins to swell and crack.
  • Dyes and inks from cloth and paper goods spread and stain.
  • A musty odor appears.

When disaster strikes, you can count on us.

Warped Wood Ceiling

Moisture and a wood ceiling are not a good combination. When a boiler pipe burst, a mixture of standing water and condensation caused this homeowner's wood ceiling to warp. The ceiling was not salvageable and had to be removed to further dry any remaining moisture.

Condensation On Ceiling

A variety of different things can follow a pipe break. It is not uncommon for condensation to be produced by a pipe carrying hot water. A residential boiler line burst produced condensation all throughout the home, further effecting the drywall and ceiling.

Pipe Burst

As a homeowner, this is never a site that you want to see. The boiler line had burst while the homeowners were out of town, resulting in a large amount of damage. By the time the break was discovered, enough damage had occurred to require extensive demolition of effected drywall and ceiling.

Tree Branch Through Roof

Violent wind storms can bring about severe damages to your home or business. This homeowner experienced a tree branch puncture a hole in their roof. Water began to flow through the hole in the attic resulting in damage to the interior of the home.

Crawl Space Pipe Break

When a pipe breaks in a crawlspace, it isn't as noticeable as a pipe break in a kitchen. That is the case for this West Michigan homeowner. Before the water was shut off, the break had created 3-4 inches of standing water in the crawlspace. Regularly inspect your home, especially during the winter months, to ensure nothing goes unnoticed. If you discover a broken pipe, we are here to help!

Pipe Break In Educational Facility

Commercial facilities experience accidents regularly. The question is whether or not they can handle it in-house. This educational facility experienced a pipe break that flooded a classroom beyond the point of an easy cleanup. If you experience water damage that is too much to handle, call SERVPRO of Holland/W. Ottawa County.

Call Us Today – (616) 396-8180

Water Heater Pipe Break Causes Mold

When you think of a pipe break causing mold damage, you typically assume it wasn't dried promptly or correctly. That is not the case for this West Michigan commercial facility. A water heater pipe busted resulting in hot water spewing everywhere. The amount of moisture produced through steam and standing water caused mold to grow very quickly.

Paint Bubbling

Water damage can cause some interesting things to happen. We are often thankful when effected areas are brick or cement since it usually means less damage. Although this room was concrete, the paint began to bubble due to the water and high humidity.

Water Damages Floor

During this season of roof leaks and broken pipes, one thing is certain. Water can and will destroy everything in its path. Hardwood floor will often begin to warp when it experiences water damage. We have the equipment to help prevent you from draining the bank account on new flooring.

Hydroxyl Generator

It is time to showcase a piece of equipment that does not receive as much recognition as it should. This machine is called a Hydroxyl Generator. It is used for deodorizing purposes. This piece of equipment is similar to an Ozone Generator, but different in the sense that it is safe to use in occupied areas. This prevents homeowners and business owners from being displaced while the deodorizing process occurs.

Warping Floorboards

It does not take long for water damage to begin taking a toll on your home or business. This West Michigan homeowner had a pipe break in their kitchen while gone on vacation. The water quickly spread throughout the home resulting in serious damages including warped floorboards. When disaster strikes, time is of the essence.

24 Hour Emergency Service

When inclement weather strikes and harsh temperatures threaten the pipes in your home or business, you may be wondering who will help if something happens. With our 24/7 Emergency Service, we will come to the rescue day or night, cold or warm, wet or dry. When you are in a bind, have no fear... SERVPRO is here.

No Heat? No Problem.

Our technicians often work in "Less Than Ideal" conditions. A homeowner called us in to clean up and pack out a house fire in West Michigan. The fire was caused by an electrical issue and there was no heat in the home. The house was so cold that steam could be seen swirling off the heads of our technicians. 

When disaster strikes, we go the extra mile to help homeowners and business owners during this stressful time. This often means working in extreme conditions. 

Water Damage Detection

Detecting water damage in your home or business can be tricky. If you experienced water damage before but never replaced the effected area, it can be difficult to decipher between old water stains and new water stains. Luckily, we have equipment that makes this possible. As you can see, the temperatures of the new water stains are far less than the temperature of the old water stain.

Melted Mess

When a fire occurs, the damage done to your home or business can seem endless. There are a variety of different damages including soot, smoke damage, water damage, and even melted contents. If your home or business is deemed salvageable, call SERVPRO of Holland/W. Ottawa County. We will come to the rescue and ensure you understand every step of the restoration process. 

Holiday Popcorn Delivery

During the holiday season, we like to deliver a little treat to local businesses, chamber's, insurance agencies, educational institutions, and more. We enjoy being the ones to help brighten up somebody's day.

Have Questions? Call Us Today – (616) 396-8180

Fire Melted Laptop

A fire does not only effect where you live, but also the things that you own. This house fire began in the basement and slowly worked its way up upward charring everything in its path. One of their total loss items is this laptop, which had been so severely effected that the keys began to melt and curl. 

High Humidity Causes Mold

When you experience a water loss in your home or business, it is not uncommon for you to have an increase in humidity. This family was experiencing a leak from their water heater that they were not aware of. They had begun discovering moldy shoes throughout their home and was not sure why. After multiple humidity tests and searching the home using thermal imaging devices, we discovered the water heater leak. This was producing large amounts of humidity that was enough to initiate mold growth. 

If you detect random mold throughout your home or business, it is very likely a water loss is causing it. 

Negative Air Machine

When it comes to water, fire, and mold restoration, it is not uncommon for us to use a negative air machine. These machines suck in contaminated air, scrub it, and then discharge the contaminates through a hose. Here are a list of cases in which we would use a negative air machine:

-Removing musty odors after water damage

-Removing unclean air after a fire

-Removing fire extinguisher particles in the air

-Preventing the spread of airborne mold spores

Roots Cause Sewer Backup

There are numerous different causes for sewer backups; however, a very common one is root intrusion in the pipe. Roots will often enter through joints or gaps between pipes. They feed off the moisture from the sewer pipe and will multiply and expand. This often results in a blockage, causing a sewer backup.

Drying Hardwood Floor

Water can easily seep into hardwood floor causing the wood to warp. Just when you think this may be the demise of that beautiful flooring, we are here to help.

These black mats are laid over the wet flooring and are connected to air hoses that suck the moisture out of the floor. Do not run out to buy new hardwood floor as soon as it experiences water damage. We can help you save that hard earned cash!

Water vs. Ceiling Tiles

This West Michigan business had storm damage that flooded multiple floors of the building. The water seeped through the floor and soaked the ceiling tiles on two different floors. 

SERVPRO of Holland/West Ottawa County responded rapidly and not only dried up the building, but cleaned up the mushy, broken tiles that littered the carpet. 

Hidden Mold On Drywall

Mold will often grow in crooks and crannies that may be hard to locate. This residential mold growth was taking place on the drywall behind a water heater. If you are experiencing a mold problem, call SERVPRO of Holland/West Ottawa County immediately. We always put your health and safety first.

Roof Leak Containment

A roof leak can easily turn into a much larger problem. That is the case for this family in Spring Lake, MI. The needed repairs to the roof were costing large amounts of money in wasted heat. Our technicians finished the water restoration and then went the extra mile by setting up a containment to help keep the heat in the home until spring time. That is the SERVPRO difference. 

Soup For All

We take pride in the ability to serve our community in a variety of ways. This year, we were a "Pot Full Patron" of the Soup For All fundraiser. This fundraiser is designed to raise funds and increase awareness for homelessness throughout the Grand Haven area. 

Sewer Backups

Sewer Backups can make a huge mess in your home or business. They result in bio-hazard situations and water damage that can lead to mold issues. When disaster strikes, call a company that you can count on. We have dealt with numerous sewer backups ranging in severity. We have the experience, skills, and equipment necessary to make it "Like it never even happened." 

CE Courses

CE stands for "Continuing Education." Twice a year, we host a CE course educating insurance agents on different types of restoration (Mold, Water, Fire, etc.). This deepens their knowledge and aids them in filing claims. Licensed agents need to have 24 CE credits over the course of 2 years in order to retain their license. Credits are based on how long the CE course is (4 hour course=4 CE credits). These classes are offered to our insurance agents for free and serve as a great learning opportunity. 

Grease Fires

Cooking is the leading cause of house fires by a wide margin according to usfa.fema.gov. Using grease tends to make cooking even more dangerous. If you experience a grease fire, there are two main ways to resolve the situation. The first is to take away the oxygen. The only way fire can continue to burn is if it has access to oxygen. If you put a lid on the pot or pan that is on fire, the fire will begin to die. The second is to remove the heat source. This means to either move the pot or pan to an unlit burner or turn the burner off. DO NOT, under ANY circumstance, attempt to put the fire out using water. This picture demonstrates what a small grease fire can evolve to when water is used to extinguish. 

Fire Prevention Open Houses

Each year, we participate in a variety of Fire Prevention Open Houses throughout the West Michigan area. These events inform and educate members of the community on what they can do to prevent fires and protect their families. They are also great learning opportunities for both children and adults. We attend them to encourage fire prevention education as well as inform individuals of our services. We provide people with a sense of support if any disaster were to happen to their home or business. They are then ensured that a premiere restoration company has their back. 

Containment

When it comes to mold remediation, a containment of the exposed area is required to prevent the spread of the mold spores. Mold can effect everybody different depending on health conditions and reactions. Some individuals can have asthma attacks or worse with a small mold presence. Since mold can raise major health concerns, it is not something that we take lightly. That is what sets SERVPRO of Holland/W. Ottawa Co. apart. Our technicians are highly trained in mold remediation and containment, ensuring you nothing short of the highest quality of service. 

Storm Damage in Muskegon, MI

Storms can strike at any time without much warning. When they do, the aftermath can be nothing short of costly. This business had multiple offices fill with water and knew to call SERVPRO immediately. When disaster strikes, we'll be there!

Commercial Business Interruption from Water Damage

Anytime your Business is interrupted with a Loss, whether it be from an ice maker water line like the loss pictured OR inclement weather that brings Wind, Rain and Flooding, you feel like there is a personal storm raging. The hours spent dealing with a loss means less productivity and loss of revenue. SERVPRO of Holland/W. Ottawa County is #Heretohelp

Fire Damage Causing a Thick Layer of Soot on Every Flat Surface

When a fire damage happens, we recommended that you limit the foot traffic in the home to prevent soot particles from being transferred to areas of the home not effected with soot damage. This also helps prevent particles from embedded in the carpet. The use of clean towels or old linens on high traffic areas is very helpful as well.
