Highly Trained Restoration Specialists

SERVPRO of Whatcom County is proud to have highly trained restoration technicians working on every job we do. Our crews are IICRC, Institute of Cleaning and Restoration Certification, certified and take continuing education courses throughout the year to keep up to date and learn the latest techniques when it comes to a variety of subjects such as Structural Drying, Cleaning, and Restoring Smoke and Fire Damaged Contents, and Mold Remediation.

Our crews are focused on safety and efficiency on all jobs. This is why we always perform Asbestos Testing before disturbing potentially hazardous building materials and wear Personal Protection Equipment when working in dangerous environments such as mold-infested attics or basement crawl spaces. From safety harnesses to full-face respirators, our highly educated and certified crews practice safe working habits in all aspects of our professional restoration duties.
