Plenty of benefits come with hiring SERVPRO for all of your restoration needs. We provide a wide range of restoration services, including cleaning up and repairing damage from fire, water and storms.
When you discover mold growing in your house or place of business, we provide licensed mold remediation services to assist you to resolve the situation and protect your property. We also provide specialized services that can address issues like biohazardous materials or graffiti.
But the most important perk separates us from the competition: We are local!
Why is this so vital, and how does it separate us from other restoration companies? Let’s explore the benefits of a local team.
3 Reasons Being Locally Owned Is a Difference-Maker
You should assess a range of characteristics when hiring a restoration company, including reliability and a strong track record. However, you also need a neighboring provider. Here’s why it’s significant:
- We Can Respond Fast
There is no time to waste when a disaster strikes! Postponing repairs may lead to further damage, resulting in a pricey and lengthy repair process.
At SERVPRO of North Fort Worth, timeliness is a top priority! To handle your restoration demands, we’ll be available around the clock. Additionally, since we are nearby, we will be right on time!
- We’re Prepared for Local Weather Conditions
Since we operate right here in Fort Worth, we tune into the same weather reports you do. Our team prepares to respond when bad weather like flooding, hail storms and thunderstorms is predicted, so we can react quickly once the storm has passed.
Additionally, we are aware of the kinds of storms and weather patterns that often occur in our region, we know exactly how to recover local storm-damaged structures.
- We Know Fort Worth Front and Back
Some restoration providers will come from nearby states or cities and be clueless about the unique aspects of our town. With our team, you won’t have to worry about that! We live in this community just like you, and we realize what makes our city, region and state so special.
Our city has a rich history and various notable locations that would entice a tourist to want to stay forever! There is always something entertaining to do in our area, from our engaging museums to our endless dining options.
We understand not only how our town operates, but also local government rules, which enables us to execute your restoration job faster and return your house or company to its preloss state.
An Extra Benefit
You can be sure that we’ll be prepared to deal with any catastrophe that occurs in our region. SERVPRO of North Fort Worth works with all major insurance carriers, whether you're the policy holder, an agent or an adjuster - we keep all informed throughout the claims process. We make every effort to keep claims low, have transparent billing, and provide all supporting documentation so you know you're only being charged for work that has been approved. We try to manage all restoration demands with available materials and local professionals, but there are occasions when a large-scale disaster impacts a large number of homes in a single area or even the entire city.
Here’s where the SERVPRO difference can greatly benefit you: We are both locally owned and operated and supported by a reputable national brand with extensive expertise. When severe weather strikes our area and results in destruction, we can ask for a helping hand from other SERVPRO facilities.

Fire Damage
Residential fires are far more common than you might think, with a fire department responding to a fire every 23 seconds.
Home fires have the potential to penetrate inside the core elements of your structure including the underlying support beams. This is why if your home has fallen victim to fire damage, it’s critical that you call SERVPRO of North Fort Worth immediately for a consultation that will begin the restoration process and get your home back to normal in no time.
Storm Damage
In Fort Worth, you never know when a light drizzle could turn into heavy rain or a full on flood. In the past, the area has experienced unexpected flash floods, which lead to damaged homes and business. If flash floods hit your home in the future, remember this important rule: Never let water damage set!
Storms and flooding can damage not only your house, but also your belongings. The mindset of SERVPRO is to restore content rather than to replace it so that we can save you money and keep your precious keepsakes alive.
Restoration may include anything from cleaning services to construction work. Regardless of the extent of the damage, we can bring your home back to preloss condition in no time.

What to Expect When You’re Expecting Water Damage Restoration | SERVPRO® of North Fort Worth
1/10/2022 (Permalink)
When water damage strikes, make the call to SERVPRO of North Fort Worth for A-to-Z cleanup and restoration.
It’s happening right now in some unfortunate home, and it happens to 14,000 more people every day. Water damage, it seems, gets to us all at one point in some form.
You already know that you should call the experts at SERVPRO when you have a water damage issue. What you may not know is how you can expect that process to go.
A little enlightenment for you, if we may:
Emergency Contact. First, you have to contact us. When you do, we’ll walk you through a few questions and start scripting a plan for your issue. Then we’ll set an appointment time to meet up in person shortly thereafter.
Inspection and Water Damage Assessment. Once SERVPRO experts arrive at your home, they’ll take a thorough look around and make a final appraisal of the damage, making sure to note any areas that may be hazardous for you. They’ll also determine the state of a few things—noting whether they can be restored and cleaned, or if they’ll need to be reconstructed or replaced.
Water Removal. These pump trucks aren’t here merely to look pretty. We’ll cut them loose and let the pumps drink their fill until your home is rid of all that unwanted output.
Damaged Material Removal. As determined earlier, some items will need replacement, and thus will need be removed. We’ll haul them away to get them off site and speed up the drying process for the remaining items.
Cleaning, Sanitizing and Deodorization. Smells, stains and even toxins can fill your home after water invades. We’ll use our proprietary cleaning solutions and techniques to ensure that your home is both safe and clean.
Drying. Even after the pumps are done, there’s still going to be excess moisture in your home, which could allow mold to grow on various affected surfaces, including furniture and clothing. We’ll use specialized gear to get rid of that offensive moisture and prevent the growth of the toxic black stuff.
Monitoring. We’ll always have an eye toward progress and efficiency, and we’ll regularly be checking in to make sure things are going as they should.
Repairs and Construction. Finally, your pros will get to work restoring damaged items and rebuilding, repairing and reconstructing whatever is necessary to fully get your home back into shape. By the time we’re done, you’ll wonder if we were ever there in the first place.
When water damage strikes, make the call to SERVPRO for A-to-Z cleanup and restoration. We’ll make your damaged property look “Like it never even happened."
Common Sources of Home Water Damage | SERVPRO® of North Fort Worth
9/6/2021 (Permalink)
A water leak can turn into a big problem. Contact the SERVPRO of North Fort Worth team if you are dealing with any water damage.
Dealing with water damage probably isn’t on your dream to-do list for today, but unfortunately, we don’t often get advanced notice that we’re going to need to take care of it. With water constantly running in and out of your house, though, there’s a fair chance you’re going to come up against leaks and potential damage eventually.
Let’s look at a few potential problem areas, because if you know where to look, you may be able to prevent some leaks or catch them in their infancy.
Toilets. This oft-used apparatus is structurally solid, but the rubber parts used to seal the holes may wear over time. Check your flapper if water is running into the tank, and check the valve seal under the tank if it’s dripping into the floor.
Appliances. Anything that uses hoses, joints or pipes is a prime candidate for eventual leakage. Washing machines in particular are known for wearing out their supply hoses, so replace that every few years as a matter of course. And when did you install your water heater? Old units are prone not only to leaks, but dangerous and destructive explosions.
Clogged gutters. Gutter backups are highly preventable. Even though it might feel like a hassle to get up on the ladder and clear them out, we promise it’s less of a pain than having to deal with water damage down your walls or dry rot in your attic.
Roof damage. While you’re on that ladder, you can also take a look at your shingles, and you may be able to catch signs of wear before they become an issue. Visually inspect a couple of times each year and after any major storm.
Pipes. Many Texans learned about the danger of frozen pipes in February 2021, and of course, age and oxidation can cause pipes to fail as well. You may even have to deal with tree roots encroaching on your main water line, choking out your water supply or sending it wastefully into the yard. If one section of your yard has particularly green grass, that could be a clue.
Blocked garbage disposals or other pipes. Some foods break apart in the disposal and stick or clump together, creatine an impassable blockage in your drainpipe. Others can soak up great amounts of water or harden and cause problems further down the line. Both may require heavy plunging, which can add unnecessary pressure to the joints of your p-trap.
All running water presents a risk for leaks and damage, but a little care and maintenance may lessen the odds that you’ll have to deal with a major spill at home.
If a water leak erupts into a big problem at home, you’ve got the best team in the business on your side. Contact SERVPRO today so we can get started.
Take Precautions Against Summer Storms | SERVPRO® of North Fort Worth
8/27/2021 (Permalink)
If storms cause damage to your home or business, SERVPRO of North Fort Worth is on the line, ready to make things right.
It’s summer in DFW, and that probably means you’ve got a lot happening. The long days call for all kinds of fun in the sun—maybe you’re heading to out to the ball field to watch some baseball, or maybe you’re off to splash around in a pool somewhere and cool off. Wherever you’re headed, however, you’d be wise to pack an umbrella.
It seems a little odd, but the sunniest, warmest time of the year is actually a very active time for thunderstorms. Although our rainiest season peaks just before summer, summer still presents plenty of opportunities for storms to form because of the warm air and atmospheric moisture.
Be Storm-Alert
Storms can form quickly. If you receive an alert or see dark clouds forming, pay attention and take time to prepare. An NOAA Weather radio can help you stay in touch with up-to-the-minute updates and battery power.
Most of the rainfall in Texas comes in the form of thunderstorms, and dry soil can be as prone to flooding as oversaturated soil.
If flooding is possible, you may need to reschedule your plans or cancel outdoor festivities as a precaution. And check your property for anything that may need to be moved or tied down if heavy rains or winds come.
Getting ready for a storm isn’t as fun as watching Joey Gallo take his best cuts, but it can be the difference between keeping yourself safe or putting yourself in danger. Storms are the root cause of dozens of fatalities every year, and most of those occur because people chose to press their luck instead of playing it safe.
Be Storm-Safe
Don’t risk being outdoors during a thunderstorm. The risk of lightning is present until there have been no thunderclaps for at least 30 minutes, so stay inside until the storm has passed on.
Lightning strikes can also present dangers indoors. Avoid showering or taking baths during a storm, and stay clear of windows as well.
Make sure your emergency kit is current and stocked, and consider whether you may need a mobile kit for your vehicle in case you get caught on the road or have to evacuate.
If flooding occurs, stay safe by staying on high ground or the upper level of your house. Don’t drive in it, even with a big truck—a foot of water can carry away a truck or SUV. And don’t touch floodwater if you can help it, because it is often full of contaminants and chemical dangers.
There are any number of dangers that can come into play in a thunderstorm, and it’s always best to be cautious and put things on hold until storms safely pass. If storms cause damage to your home or business, SERVPRO is on the line, ready to make things right again.

If you’re buying or renting a home, you probably have a lot on your mind. It’s understandable. After all, there’s a lot to consider.

Damage Is More Common Than You Think
The Insurance Information Institute collects statistics about homeowners insurance claims. Overall, one in 20 homeowners will file a damage claim this year.

Water damage claims will be filed by about one in 50 homeowners.
That translates to millions of American homeowners, and some of these homeowners will need to seek help from restoration professionals to restore their home. That’s where choosing a quality restoration company will make all the difference for you.
