Cressona Cleanup and Restoration

Water Damage & Fire Damage in Cressona Homes

First settled in the mid-1800s, Cressona was mostly wilderness until the completion of the connecting Mine Hill Road. Today, the community is more than 1500 people supporting a small local economy that has shifted and changed several times since the town's formation in 1857. The position of the village in Schuylkill County allows a quaint feel with a short commute to larger city offerings.  

Large structures are a common addition to the streets and lanes, with many warehouses and production facilities accessible from Pottsville Street or the massive Sapa Extrusions manufacturing plant in the town limits. Historical structures are also part of the community's charm, including the Cressona Station, Borough Hall, where municipal affairs are managed, and Hubert Inn. 

The Behavior of Water 

To fully overcome the water damage your home experiences, our IICRC-Certified technicians are trained in psychometry sciences to anticipate how water reacts in specific situations and environments. This will better manage the drying and cleanup. 

Effective Drying Practices

Water damage must get removed using a combination of special tools and machines from our inventory. Because moisture can become trapped in building materials and hidden in wall cavities, we use moisture sensors and thermal imagery to track these damp caches and set up the needed equipment to address the threat. 

Drying uses tools like:

• Desiccant dehumidifiers
• High-velocity air movers
• Drying mats
• Positive pressure systems
• Moisture sensors

Airborne Threats and HVAC Fire Damage

One of the earliest considerations SERVPRO professionals must make after a fire in local homes is the air quality. With HEPA filtration and UV cleaning, we can maximize the trapping and removal of harmful particulates, even those that might threaten areas like the HVAC system.

Cleaning Soot-Damaged Surfaces

It is expected to experience soot damage after combustion. However, this can be devastating in structures that rely on strict scheduling, like the Cressona Elementary School or the Chestnut Street Market. Our Large Loss cleaning equipment and products help with fire cleanup and other disasters like Beaver Creek or Schuylkill River overflowing and flooding nearby homes.

Fire damage and water disasters quickly threaten area homes and businesses. Give SERVPRO a call today.
