How We Restore Schools & Churches
To ensure minimal downtime and disruption, we take a comprehensive yet efficient approach to restoring public facilities.Our process is one that maximizes efficiency while still delivering the highest level of service.
Assess
Our first priority is to assess the damage your educational facility or place of worship has sustained. Whether caused by fire, mold, or another disaster, we’ll thoroughly inspect every corner of the building to identify all affected areas. This will allow us to create a comprehensive restoration plan that’s tailored to the specific layout and needs of your building.
Secure Your Building
To prevent further property damage, we’ll secure the building. That could mean putting tarps on compromised roofs, sealing off affected areas, or boarding up windows—we’ll do whatever needs to be done to protect your space.
Mitigate Damage
If water caused the issue, we’ll begin extracting and drying. If mold is to blame, we’ll isolate impacted areas and use advanced tools to eliminate all traces. If your property has been damaged by fire, we’ll tackle soot and smoke removal to ensure there are no lingering particles or odors. Every cutting-edge technique we leverage is to reduce the threat your property is facing.
Sanitize
With the immediate issue addressed, we can begin the cleaning and sanitization process. The exact measures we take will depend on the damage your school or church has suffered, but rest assured, we have the tools to get the job done.
Repair
With your facility secured and cleaned, we can begin the restoration phase. Our experts can handle everything from minor repairs to major structural damage, including drywall and flooring. No job is too big or small for our dedicated professionals to handle; we’ll tackle it all to ensure your school or church gets back to its pre-damage condition.
Final Inspection
To ensure all work has been completed to the highest standards, we’ll conduct a final walkthrough. Only once your space has fully restored, with all equipment functioning properly, will we give our final seal of approval.

Joyce M. Excellent service and very responsive! Sam and his team took the time to review our needs and explain everything. They made us feel like they truly cared about us and our home. They exceeded our expectations, their pricing was very fair and transparent, and they made a difficult time much easier! I've had friends who have just called the main 800 number for ServiceMaster - when you do that, you don't know who you'll get. I will always tell my friends and family to call this business direct. You will not be sorry - they are great!
