Two SERVPRO employees unloading cleaning equipment out of a green van No matter the damage sustained, SERVPRO of Beaver County has the tools and team to help your home return to a normal state quickly.

Our scope of services is comprehensive. Here’s a good look at what we offer:

Water Damage

No one is immune to flooding—it happens everywhere and can happen fast, especially in Beaver County with numerous rivers and creeks. Serious damage can be done by as little as an inch of water, and in fact, floods cause more than $10 billion in damages nationwide every year.

Whether you’re a homeowner or business owner, encountering flooding issues is almost certain. But when it happens, SERVPRO has the knowledge and the tools to deal with the damage. We will assist you in making the right restoration decision by helping you understand the severity of the damage.

Our tools have the ability to detect hidden moisture and extract standing water from the home or business. We’ll also assist you in developing a water damage restoration plan to ensure your home is clean, dry and restored to its previous condition.

Fire Damage

Home and business fires are common, dangerous and usually accidental. In the United States, a fire department responds to a fire every 23 seconds, and there was roughly $8.1 billion in direct property damage and losses nationwide in 2020.

If you experience fire damage in your home or business, we’ll get to work with our seven-step restoration process.

We begin this with an inspection and damage assessment. The process progresses through all the necessary, in-between steps before starting repairs and construction so that we get the job done right.

Storm Damage

Storms bring more than simply wind and rain. You also have to consider wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and blizzards. You don’t have to worry though, because our goal is always to get you back in your newly restored home as soon as possible.

In Beaver County and in Pennsylvania more broadly, we see storms bring flash flooding and experience at least a handful of tornadoes each year. The storm and water damage that results affects more than simply the structure of your home—it affects your personal belongings and prized possessions. At SERVPRO, we specialize in content restoration, but with the mindset of restoring rather than replacing.

A few of the services we offer include dry cleaning, wet cleaning, foam cleansing, and abrasive cleaning. If more extensive cleaning is needed in your home, we also offer move-out services so we can bring your home back to preloss condition quickly.

What Sets SERVPRO Apart?

We’re there when you need us. You can reach out to a SERVPRO expert via our 247 Emergency Line day or night and receive immediate assistance.

Our SERVPRO experts in green are the No. 1 cleanup and restoration team in the country. We have more than 50 years of experience dealing with all kinds of disasters and damage.

About Coronavirus The CDC is responding to an outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel (new) coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that was first detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China that has spread to 60 locations internationally (as of this publication), including cases in the United States. The virus known as "coronavirus disease 2019" (abbreviated “COVID-19')' is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person or through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

Scope of Cleanup Protocol

SERVPRO professionals can perform a proactive cleanup that involves facility or structure cleaning and disinfection where the customer states that there is no active known threat of COVID-19 contamination or exposure. The customer will be required to acknowledge that cleaning and disinfecting will only apply to the current state of the structure and contents. The structure would not be protected from future COVID-19 contamination if an infected person was to enter and occupy the building. 

Cleanup Scope of Work and Planning

The CDC encourages cleaning of high-touch surfaces such as counters, tabletops, doorknobs, light switches, bathroom fixtures, toilets, phones, keyboards, tablets, and tables at a minimum." These same surfaces are mentioned in the CDC's guidance for commercial spaces 

as well, including: 

  • Kitchen/Food Areas
  • Bathrooms
  • Schools/Classrooms
  • Offices
  • Retail Spaces
  • Water Fountains
  • Shelving and Racks 
  • Sales Counters
  • Carpets and rugs
  • Stair Handrails
  • Elevator
  • Cars
  • Playground Equipment
  • Fitness Equipment 

Cleanup and Disinfecting Procedures

Cleanup procedures generally include cleaning of porous and non-porous surfaces, disinfecting of non-porous surfaces, cleaning and disinfecting of equipment, tools, and/or supplies used for cleanup process, and disposal of waste. 

The CDC recommends usage of a labeled hospital-grade disinfectant with claims against similar type organisms to COVID-19. 

SERVPROXIDE, SERVPRO's proprietary disinfectant, is a hospital-grade disinfectant that has demonstrated effectiveness against viruses similar to SARS-CoV-2 on hard, non-porous surfaces. In addition, SERVPROXIDE currently has dozens of EPA-approved claims including Feline coronavirus, Canine coronavirus, Staphylococcus (MRSA), E. coli, Salmonella, Rotavirus, Swine flu (H1N1) and more. 

Porous surfaces that are not water-sensitive, such as carpet and other fabric material, cannot be disinfected but can be sanitized using SERVPROXIDE.

We take a stressful situation and manage all of the details so that you don’t have to.  Jean S. from Beaver Falls, PA had fire damage on the first floor of her home due to a fire in their garage. We were able to restore the garage and clean the interior of the home to get rid of the smoke damage.  

“SERVPRO of West Beaver County in Monaca, PA is owned by Jeff Krivan. Jeff's crew did an incredible job of restoring our garage and cleaning the interior of our first floor from smoke damage from a fire in the garage. Jeff and his head foreman, Greg, kept us informed daily on the various contractors and repair timelines. This very stressful situation was handled with expertise from Jeff working with our insurance company to Greg overseeing the work crews. All the contractors that worked on our home were knowledgeable, courteous and timely. I highly recommend SERVPRO and give them a 5-star rating.”

Flames on black background We're onsite fast to start the remediation process ASAP.

Katie from Steubenville, Ohio had a disastrous house fire.  We were able to respond quickly to get her remediation started.   


“We recently had a house fire and Jeff and his team were quick to the rescue. They immediately started cleaning this disaster of a house. They made sure that every bit of soot was gone. Every day that team from SERVPRO came they thoroughly went over what they were going to do and always asked if we had any questions. Every time I spoke to Jeff and his team they made sure that there wasn't anything else they could do before hanging up the phone or even leaving for the day, and they were driving pretty far to do cleaning and services for our house (Ohio). They seem dedicated to their work and helping others. Let me tell you, it looks even better than it did before the fire. We appreciate it Jeff and team! Thank you!”

“I had raw sewage back up into my basement and Jeff was there the same night and his crew came the next day to start clean-up. Jeff and his crew were wonderful to work with. They sanitized my basement and ran dehumidifiers until the levels were low enough to prevent mold. I would definitely work with them again if the need ever arose. They came everyday to check the equipment and I never felt like I was dealing with this problem by myself. Thank you again Jeff, Jake, and Brian. You were wonderful.” 

Hugh also experienced a sewage issue: 

100% professional and knowledgeable! These guys took on an extremely difficult job at cleaning and restoring what seemed like an endless amount raw sewage out of my wrecked crawl space which required skill and experience because of the complications.
