We understand that when a water pipe breaks and floods your basement or when a fire breaks out and all of your valued possessions are covered in soot, is a very stressful and emotional time for a family or business. We value and treat our customers homes and belongings as if they were our own. We know that a fast response to disaster situations can save homes and treasured contents that may otherwise be lost.
Why Mitigation Over Reconstruction?
Our Team knows that mitigating a disaster is more cost-effective than reconstructing after a disaster strikes. Mitigation, whether it be in response to water, fire, smoke or mold damage, saves weeks or even months of repair work and countless amounts of money that would have been wasted on replacing items and structures that could have easily been saved. Our crew of professional technicians have the training, the skills, the state-of-the art equipment and the products to restore the damage in your home that at the time may seem destroyed and beyond repair.
Our goal is to be the FASTEST and be the BEST at saving your home or business from water, fire, smoke or mold damage. We strive to be the Team that you can count on when disaster strikes from Mashpee to Provincetown, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Call us today. We will be there to help!

Call SERVPRO When Spring Cleaning Your Barnstable Home Becomes a Restoration Project

From general cleaning & mold remediation to water & fire damage mitigation. Our Team is ready to help with all your restoration needs.
With warmer weather finally upon us, many Cape Cod residents are taking this opportunity to start their spring cleaning. However, homeowners may often find larger household issues when clearing clutter. Rodent infestations, mold, puffback soot and other household headaches may just be looming around the corner. Trying to tackle these situations alone may just make it worse. Here’s some examples of why some common household issues should be left to the professionals:
- Puffbacks: puffback-related soot damage will deteriorate objects and structures in your home, sometimes past the point of restoration. Plates and fine China will discolor, paint can be left permanently stained and electronic appliances can be irreversibly damaged. If not treated correctly by a professional, parts of your home or business that you wouldn’t expect to be damaged could deteriorate before your eyes. Furthermore, through use of patented cleaners and chemical sponges, SERVPRO removes puff back damage thoroughly and permanently.
- Rodent Infestations: SERVPRO of Mid-Outer Cape Cod is trained to safely remove animal related biohazards and dispose of them properly in accordance with OSHA and health regulations. Equipped with the necessary safety apparatus and cleaning products, we can help transform these unhealthy environments back into clean, safe homes and offices. Also, anytime animals stow away in your home, it’s more than likely that your insulation needs to be replaced. Trust SERVPRO to clean or replace your insulation fast, easily, affordably and efficiently.
- Mold: Remediation makes sure that MOLD STAYS GONE: Removing mold stains will only get rid of its appearance for a brief amount of time. The mold spots will come back larger and more toxic than before. By calling a restoration company, you’ll be saving time and money that could’ve been wasted on a more severe mold problem down the line.
If spring cleaning becomes more of a home restoration project, call in the PROs at SERVPRO of Mid-Outer Cape Cod. We are available 24/7 for all your restoration needs. CALL US at 508-778-7378.
