These bikes were donated by a local Walmart for children in the community. In order to obtain these bikes, each child had to go through a series of fun, competition courses that allowed them to be judged and scored based on their performance.

There many happy kids riding around on their bikes, learning about bike safety and the importance of using signals when on roadways!

Every February Americans join together to educate their communities on the importance of heart health. Heart disease can be prevented with things most people can find time for in their day, such as choosing a healthy diet and working out a few times a week.

Unfortunately a sewer pipe broke in Summit Hall at Drexel University early this morning. It caused so much water damage that our crew said it was almost as if it was raining inside! We sent almost all of our crew members over to the hall today to start the remediation immediately.

This church was affected 100% with a medium level of soot from a puff back. We had to hepa vac and sponge all of the structure while maintaining air quality with air scrubbers. We also had to control minor smoke odor that was present with vapor sharks and a hydroxyl generator. We had to bring in 1 man lifts to access the 30 feet high ceilings in the main chapel. All of the soft goods will be cleaned with our Esporta machine located at our main warehouse. The total job will take 7 days to complete.

This is a picture from last years Hydrating Heroes ll. We will be hosting Hydrating Heroes lll again this December at the Well Fargo Center to show our appreciation of the first responder community!

We boarded up the local McDonald's that was completely destroyed in a fire a few weeks ago. The damage to the roof can be seen as wires, lights and bars are hanging down.

Over the summer we were called down to a restaurant in Philadelphia to perform a commercial clean. We sent a crew at night after the restaurant closed and got it completed within a few nights.

This is another picture from the house that had an attic filled with mold. You can clearly see the mold going up the wood beams. The entire attic ended up being treated.

A homeowner called us to have her attic remediated for mold. When we got there we discovered mold scattered throughout the entire attic. This job required the entire attic to be HEPA vacuumed, sprayed, wiped and sealed.

The discoloration of these hardwood floors is a clear sign of water damage. A heavy storm made this family aware of a leak in their roof which in turn affected their hardwood floors.

This picture shows all the rubble that was left in one of the apartments after the fire. There are beams from the ceiling that have fallen along with many household items.

This roof took on some damage after one of the heavy summer storms. Luckily we were able to get out to this customers house and patch the roof up quickly.

This is a picture from inside the local McDonald's that recently caught fire and was completely destroyed. Although it is dark you can see just how serious the damage was.

This is the outside of a home that had water pouring in to their basement and home after very heavy rains. This picture shows how this storm impacted the outside of their house and their land.

When a fire breaks out the smoke can creep in to places that the fire never even touched and leave behind soot. You can see it clearly affected this apartments cabinets leaving behind empty spaces where glasses once stood.

Many of our storm damage calls have to do with water damage but at times there is some real damage done to the structure. We can also come in and help fix situations like this.

One of the harder parts of fire remediation jobs is seeing the devastating aftermath. It is heartbreaking to see someone else's belongings completely destroyed but knowing we are helping them get back on their feet makes it all worth it!

The Bush House was a very large project for us and we were on the scene right away. Here is an example of one of the apartments kitchens. The oven is completely destroyed and covered in debris and soot. 

This is a picture of the outside of part of the Bush House in Quakertown, Pa. The fire damage going up the side of the building running up from the windows is clearly visible. 

With all the mold jobs we have been getting recently, we have a multitude of mold pictures to show! This is just one area of the basement that was affected. This home was converted in to a commercial business. There were many other spots on the walls, foundation and dry wall that had to be remediated as well.

One morning this summer a family discovered that their water heater had broken and caused water damage that affected many rooms in the home. The ceilings in most of the rooms too the most damage.

Yet again another summer storm hit and caused this house a great deal of damage. When our team arrived there was actual streams of water flowing in to the basement from outside. We were able to help them remove all the water.

Recently we helped out a shoe store in the Oxford Valley Mall that had incurred some water damage. The water marks are clearly visible in the photos. They were very impressed with our service.

A customer called us out to his home to take a look at some mold he found growing. White mold was actually the reason we were called even though you wouldn't automatically think that from the picture.

Our team was called to this household on a water damage job but when our guys arrived they also found some mold growing. Mold growth is quite common when it comes to water damage and we always come prepared for both!

Our team got called out to a local business who had discovered some pretty severe mold growth in their basement. This was only a small portion of the mold we removed at this job.

Here is another picture at a local school of a water damage job our team took care of. The amount of water on the floor can be seen clearly but it was not a problem for our guys!

One of the signs that your roof may be leaking are spots such as the one in the picture. This patch is a water damaged ceiling that our team came out to repair in an apartment complex. 

A picture of one of the water damage jobs we got called out to handle. As you can see there is quite a bit of water spread throughout the basement. Our team was able to get it restored in no time!

Towards the end of the summer SERVPRO of Germantown received many calls from schools in a variety of locations in Pennsylvania. These schools discovered that mold had started to grow in their classrooms after they had been closed up for summer. Luckily we were able to help them get their classrooms clean in time for the school year!

Our phones have been ringing left and right for mold remediation jobs! This summer consisted of many hot and humid days making a perfect environment for mold to grow. Check your homes for mold today to ensure a healthy living environment!

SERVPRO of Germantown recently got called over to a commercial apartment complex to take care of an apartment where a small kitchen fire broke out. Luckily for the tenant, the fire didn't cause very much damage.

You can only prepare so much for a storm. There is almost nothing you can do to keep trees and branches from crashing through your home.When the unexpected hits, we can come in and make it look like its brand new!

Last week SERVPRO of Germantown helped Saint Mary's Church in Schwenksville, Pa as a sponsor for their Bier Garten event celebrating The Feast of Saint Mary. Our banner was hung during the event.

The recipient of the FOP Conference raffle received his prize this past week! The FOP conference was held in Harrisburg Pennsylvania this years over two days and featured several sessions for the members. Congratulations & enjoy!

A SERVPRO water jug was spotted at the one of the local carnivals last week. We are happy to be able to supply a cooler to keep the employees and attendees cool and hydrated during the event.

SERVPRO of Germantown donated their time to WaWa's Welcome America Event on the Fourth of July. Over the day we handed out many cases of bottled water, prizes and supplied some moving air for those out in the sun all day.

Our team had a great time celebrating the 4th of July on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.  We had a great view of the Pitbull concert followed by fireworks at the Art Museum.  Can't wait for next year

Water Damage in Assisted Living Facility

Accidents happen. However, some accidents are more severe than others and may cause massive disruption to not only a business but many times to its residents and employees as well.

SERVPRO of Germantown recently got called in on a job at a retirement community after the plumber yanked down a pipe causing water to flow through numerous resident's rooms, offices and main rooms. Nearly 100 residents, some with dimentia, needed to be re-located in order for us to complete the job in a timely manner and make it, "Like it never even happened."
