When Water, Fire, and Storm Damage Happens in Ellsworth, We're Ready.
Whether you're looking for restoration, cleaning or construction services in Ellsworth, we're here to help 24/7.
When water saturates your property, the clock starts ticking immediately. Within 24 to 48 hours, the conditions become ideal for mold colonization, turning a manageable water intrusion into a much more complex and costly mold remediation project. Many Ellsworth property owners do not realize how quickly secondary damage, like mold, can develop, significantly increasing repair expenses and potentially impacting indoor air quality. Understanding this critical timeframe is essential for protecting your investment and your health. SERVPRO of Bangor/Ellsworth and SERVPRO of Bar Harbor respond to these emergencies with urgency, bringing specialized equipment and certified technicians to mitigate damage and prevent further complications for homes and businesses throughout the Ellsworth area.
Water Damage Restoration in Ellsworth, ME
Water damage in Ellsworth, ME, often stems from a combination of older plumbing systems common in many of the city's historic homes and the challenging winter weather. Frozen pipes bursting during a cold snap are a frequent call, as are issues with sump pumps in basements during spring thaws when the Union River and Branch Lake levels rise. Our teams address these scenarios by first extracting standing water using powerful pumps and vacuums. We then deploy industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to thoroughly dry structural materials, including subfloors, wall cavities, and framing, which are particularly susceptible to moisture retention in Ellsworth's humid summers. This precise drying process is crucial to prevent long-term issues like wood rot and structural compromise, common in properties built before modern construction standards.
Fire Damage Restoration in Ellsworth, ME
Fire damage restoration in Ellsworth, ME, requires a comprehensive approach that goes beyond just cleaning up visible soot. Many homes in Ellsworth, especially those built in the early to mid-20th century, rely on wood-burning stoves or older oil furnaces for heat, which can present unique fire risks if not properly maintained. Our certified technicians assess the extent of smoke and soot damage, which often permeates porous materials like drywall and insulation, leaving a persistent odor. We use specialized cleaning agents to remove smoke residues from various surfaces, including the intricate woodwork found in many Ellsworth residences near Main Street. Additionally, we focus on deodorization, employing advanced techniques to eliminate embedded smoke odors, ensuring your property is restored to a pre-fire condition, free from lingering reminders of the incident.
Mold Remediation in Ellsworth
Mold growth is a significant concern for property owners in Ellsworth, particularly given the region's high humidity levels during the summer months and the prevalence of older homes with less-than-perfect ventilation. Basements and crawl spaces, common in many residences from the State Street area to the outskirts of town, are especially vulnerable to moisture intrusion and subsequent mold colonization. Our mold remediation process begins with containment to prevent spores from spreading to unaffected areas. We then use HEPA filtration and specialized antimicrobial treatments to remove existing mold colonies from surfaces like wood framing, drywall, and insulation. After removal, we address the underlying moisture source, whether it's a leaky foundation or poor ventilation, to prevent future growth and protect the structural integrity and indoor air quality of your Ellsworth property.
Storm Damage Repair in Ellsworth, ME
Ellsworth, ME, faces a range of severe weather threats that can lead to significant property damage, from heavy winter snow and ice storms that cause roof collapses and ice damming to powerful coastal storms that bring high winds and torrential rain.

Following a severe Nor'easter, for example, we often respond to calls for fallen trees damaging roofs or wind-driven rain penetrating siding and windows. We provide emergency board-up and tarping services to secure your property immediately, preventing further water intrusion. Our team then works to repair structural damage, restore damaged interiors, and remove debris, helping Ellsworth residents and businesses recover quickly from the unpredictable Maine weather.

What our Ellsworth customers are saying
Thanks for all your help getting the ball rolling on so many fronts, with all of the contractors and your crew. It's nice to know that there are people out there who take pride in their job and show up when people call, especially when they have emergencies. I'm going to tell everyone about you, so if anybody has problems they can call on weekends and not have to worry about people flaking out on emergency calls and not show up. Kudos to you and your top-notch crew!
Had to use the services of this company this past weekend. They had a timely response and the workers who came to resolve the issue were extremely pleasant. Hope not to have to use the service again but if we do, then this will be the company we call and will refer others to their services.
Mike at SERVPRO was so helpful to us when we had a water leak that filled our basement and first-floor bathroom with water. He walked us through the process they use to dry out the house and checked in with us every step of the way over the few days they were doing work in our home. Highly recommend them for any kind of work like this.
I sustained water damage to my bathroom, & bedroom floors and garage ceiling and called Serve Pro upon making the discovery. They agreed to come to my house immediately to assess the situation and then came back promptly with all of their drying equipment which they set up to mitigate the damage. They came to my house every day for 5 days to assess the progress, locked up my home afterwards and called to report. The bill was submitted directly to my insurance carrier. I felt they were trustworthy to be in my home and was I very happy with their service.
I got a call one morning while I was at work from a contractor who had stopped by to do a job. When he opened the basement door he found a completely flooded basement. The pipe to a hose had frozen and burst sometime during the winter. I had just recently started using the hose to water plants and my habit was to turn the faucet on and turn it off when I was finished. The evening before I had not turned off the hose so for around 20 hours water spewed across my finished family room. there are four other rooms in my basement and they were all flooded. I didn't have any idea how I was going to handle this so I called SERVPRO. Mike showed up within the hour, took one look at the situation, and declared, we do this all the time, I've got this. His team arrived and they began the clean up. This was on a Thursday evening about 3pm and by 1:00 the next day the demolition was done and every item was removed, loaded onto a truck to be disposed of, and the dehumidifiers and fans in place. I was incredibility grateful for the service this team provided. I hope I never have another leak in my basement but if I did I would without hesitation call them again.
If there is a pleasant part to having a flooded basement, it was the absolutely fantastic job SERVPRO of Bangor/Ellsworth did cleaning it up! Professional work all the way by professional, knowledgeable and caring people who arrived within an hour of bring called! And, they came back when they said they would to check out and finish the job...sometimes rare these days. Thank you SERVPRO, you are the best!
When your sewer backs up you leave the house. You call a capable plumber to clear the drain so the sewage drains out and then you better call SERVPRO to clean up the mess and make your home safe again. Why SERVPRO, especially SERVPRO of Bangor and Ellsworth Maine? Because the owner, Mike, over delivers and will do everything right to get you back to “happy”. This was my second time with these guys as a water pipe broke while I was in Florida a few years ago and they did a great job getting our cellar cleaned up. This time I had no hesitation in calling them again. Also, my insurance company totally agreed with my decision. SERVPRO was fast, thorough, and made my wife and me “happy” again. Thank you Mike and your team of professionals.
Recently, a broken pipe in our new home led to quite a bit of damage. Literally, after our insurance agent left our home and made a referral to SERVPRO, we received a call from SERVPRO who offered to inspect our home that same night. -Work started the next morning at 9:30. We are very satisfied with their speed, thoroughness, communication, and attention to detail. -It wasn’t an easy job, nor a fun one but no one on the crew expressed that to us. We would definitely recommend SERVPRO to anyone who finds themselves in the same situation.
Superior help, thorough, explained everything, friendly and great follow-up.
