SERVPRO of Glendora/San Dimas specializes in water damage restoration, and it is our expertise that sets us apart from competitors. Our team not only cleans and dries the mess water leaves behind, but restores the substructures the moisture has affected. Wet disasters cause a plethora of headaches, so our team strives to walk alongside you every step of the way and answer any questions you may have.

IICRC (Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification) places SERVPRO technicians above others in the restoration industry because of the unique and specific training received. As stated in the IICRC, there are three levels and classifications concerned with liquid demolition.

Category One Liquid: Water from a sanitary source (drinking fountains, faucets, etc.)

Category Two Liquid: Contaminated grey water that could cause illness if ingested (dishwasher leakage, overflow from washing machine, toilet spillage containing urine but no feces, etc.)

Category Three Liquid: Most unsanitary classification that results in serious illness or death if consumed (black water, sewer, toilet spillage containing feces, etc.)

Familiarizing yourself with these classifications allows you to accurately categorize the damage you are experiencing. Allow our certified cleaning crews to walk alongside you during this stressful process, and build a lifelong partnership with professionals you can trust in your local area.
