Our Team Deploys to Help with Wildfires.

7/21/2021 (Permalink)

One of our customers took to Yelp to express their gratitude for our teams assistance during a hard time.

When wildfires hit, our team deploys. We venture out miles away from our territory to lend our helping hands for the people who are in the midst of the flames and smoke. One example of a time we did this was for the Thomas Fire in 2017.

No one knew the Thomas Fire in Santa Barbara would turn into the largest wildfire in California. It burned through 273,246 acres of land. It destroyed 10,000 homes. SERVPRO of North Vista/ San Marcos headed up north to help as soon as the fire calmed down and it was safe to travel. A lot of homes were left in ashes but the neighboring ones left standing had serious smoke damage to everything in the home. There was a layer of soot on everything. When items or walls have smoke damage, it's the only thing you can smell. The smell of smoke is very powerful. Our team was happy to be welcomed into our customers homes and give them clean air to breathe again. It is very important to keep our customers updated and share our knowledge with them along the whole way. As you can see in this yelp review, we want to make you as comfortable and happy as possible.
