At SERVPRO of South Fleming Island/North Bradford County, we stand ready to serve and help our local community whenever needed!

In times of crisis, churches serve as pillars of strength, faith, and community support. However, what happens when a church itself is struck by disaster? Recently, the Bradford County community faced such a challenge when a burst pipe flooded the entirety of one of their Stark church, just a week before Easter. As the congregation processed the shock of the situation, SERVPRO of South Fleming Island/North Bradford County swiftly stepped in to help. 

The emergency water damage restoration journey began with a frantic call to SERVPRO of South Fleming Island/ North Bradford County, as the church leadership sought immediate assistance to salvage their sacred space. Our team then sprang into action, mobilizing our experienced technicians and state-of-the-art equipment to the site within the hour. 

Upon arrival, our priority was to assess the extent of the damages to the facility and put together a comprehensive restoration plan tailored to fit the specific needs of the church, taking into account the significance of the upcoming Easter services and celebrations. 

With time being of the essence, our team wasted no time in initiating the restoration process. We deployed powerful water extraction tools to swiftly remove standing water from the premises, preventing further structural damage and mitigating the risk of microbial growth. Our technicians worked quickly and efficiently to ensure every nook and cranny was addressed, standing water was removed, drying equipment was placed, and the area was sanitized.

Throughout the restoration process, we communicate closely with the church leadership as well as the insurance company. Providing regular updates on our progress, and addressing any concerns or questions they had along the way. Collaborating closely with the church staff, we were able to develop a timeline that aligned with their Easter service schedule, ensuring minimal disruption to their worship activities.

With Easter Sunday quickly approaching, our focus is on ensuring that the church can hold services at full capacity while protecting the structure from secondary damages. Our team will work around the church's busy schedule to ensure that everything is drying correctly and is ready for patrons Friday night for Good Friday and again Sunday morning for the Easter Sunday festivities.
