Following the events of September 11, 2001, SERVPRO® Franchise Professionals were called upon to assist with the cleanup and restoration of the Pentagon. In spite of the emotions and difficulties involved in the restoration effort, SERVPRO® Franchise Professionals dried nearly 300,000 square feet in addition to providing fire, soot and smoke cleanup and restoration services. Upon completion of the drying assignment, SERVPRO® Franchise Professionals provided mold remediation services in other sections of the facility. SERVPRO® Franchise Professionals met the challenge and completed the process in just 90 days.
