Our team members.
  1. The Science - When you call a restoration company, many of them don't have a correct playbook on how to determine how much equipment will be needed and what the optimal placement of the equipment will be. What SERVPRO does different is in measuring the atmosphere in the affected areas and surrounding environment to answer these questions and to make sure the structure is drying the fastest.
  2. The Size - No job is too big or small. SERVPRO has amazing quality control when it comes to franchise uniformity. All SERVPROs are independently operated, but there's a proper system of training and collaboration. Many of our day to day calls are homeowners that are just concerned about some bubbling in their walls. On a larger scale, when there's a major flooding, franchises can respond together and make sure they have the necessary personnel at a job site. When there's a storm, our corporate office will alert all of the franchisees and send them to the site to assist those misplaced from their homes. No matter what the problem is, we're trained to help.
  3. The System - A good restoration company should make it a standard to respond fast to any water loss. SERVPRO's standard is the 1-4-8 method: Within 1 hour, we will respond to any call, within 4 hours we will be on site, and within 8 hours we will brief all parties in charge. It is our franchise's mission to provide high quality service, so the truth is that we can be anywhere in San Diego within the hour. We're ready to take on emergencies, and we prepare for it diligently on a daily basis.
