Fire and Water Damage Restoration in Worcester, MA: Business Recovery

When disaster strikes, fast action makes all the difference. Recently, our team at ServiceMaster Dynamic Cleaning responded to a major fire and water damage loss in Worcester, MA, at a four-story commercial retail building. What began as a fire caused by vandalism on the fourth floor quickly became a widespread water emergency when the sprinkler system activated to extinguish the flames. While the fire was put out before it could cause devastating destruction, the sprinkler system released a large volume of water that affected all four floors of the building.

The property, which housed a restaurant on the ground level and office spaces and a karate studio on the upper floors, required immediate attention to minimize further damage. The property manager reached out to us in the early morning hours, and within just three hours, our crews were on-site to begin water damage mitigation. Our president and project manager, Bill Sweeney, personally responded to the loss to ensure a smooth and effective recovery process.

Coordinated Disaster Response

Because of the size and complexity of the Worcester, MA, fire and water damage restoration project, coordination was key. Our technicians worked closely with state safety representatives, city inspectors, and the building department, as well as a variety of subcontractors, including:

• Plumbers
• Electricians
• Granite subcontractors
• HVAC professionals
• Fire suppression system professionals
• Disposal vendors

These partnerships allowed us to quickly secure the building, disconnect critical facilities, and create a safe work environment so our team could move forward with restoration and demolition. Going above and beyond for our clients often means managing not only the clean-up but also the collaboration required to return the property to a safe and functional state.
