SERVPRO South Pasadena/San Marino takes our response time very seriously! We like to get to the site of the emergency in a timely manner. All SERVPROs have standardized response times. When we are approached by a customer online or over the phone, if we don’t immediately respond we will in an hour or less. After that, we will inspect your property within the same day. Following this, SERVPRO South Pasadena/San Marino will give an estimate 24 hours after the inspection. This service commitment helps us to take care of our customers needs and get the job done efficiently. 

Reasons 

Why does SERVPRO South Pasadena/San Marino respond with such urgency? Well apart from it being a good standard for business, we take on numerous emergencies and it’s important to act quickly to stop continued damage. For example, in the case of a commercial office being flooded, it only takes minutes for the damage to be irreversible. Water saturates everything in its path; floors, walls, ceilings, upholstery, and other items absorb that water. Flooding can stain carpets. Important documents, booklets, and binders start to swell and warp. Unless acted upon in a timely fashion, this damage could be forever and it only took minutes! 

Have no fear! SERVPRO South Pasadena/San Marino is here! SERVPRO of South Pasadena/San Marino is clearly the best choice you can make when it comes to commercial water damage and we service all throughout the Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino Counties. Call us now! (626)852-9922

There are so many restoration companies around.  The reason is there is so much need for restoration services.  In very densely populated areas like the Los Angeles Basin, there are approximately 10 million people living and working in extremely close quarters.  The amount of infrastructure required to provide electricity, water, sewer, and natural gas to every home, office, mall, etc. is a marvel of technology and sheer determination.  

To keep it all running smoothly 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for years would be a miracle.  And as we know this does not happen because all this infrastructure fails from old age, gets damaged extending it to new properties, and gets wrecked by storms and earthquakes, to name a few causes.

That’s why SERVPRO and all those other restoration companies are in business and will probably have jobs forever.  

However, there is a difference in the quality of services you can expect from most if not all the other restoration companies.  SERVPRO of South Pasadena/San Marino is a company owned and operated by a recognized expert in the restoration industry.  “SERVPRO Joe” McCann has lived and worked in the Los Angeles Basin for over 16 years and earned the admiration of industry leaders by being honest, working hard, and earning trust serving his Los Angeles customers and traveling all over the United States helping people recover from natural and man-made disasters.  Disaster areas like Hurricane Ike in Texas, Hurricane Irene on the East Coast, The Waldo Fires in Colorado, and the natural Gas Explosion in San Bruno California.

If you are searching for a stand out restoration contractor, you only have to look in your backyard to find SERVPRO Joe, owner of SERVPRO of South Pasadena/San Marino.  We serve all locations in the Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties.  

Restoration experts are available 24/7 by calling 626-852-9922.  Stay safe out there.  Sincerely, SERVPRO Joe McCann.

Boxes of face shields being loaded into a SERVPRO truck

Coordinating with LACI

For the past few months, SEVRPRO of South Pasadena/San Marino has been coordinating with LACI, Los Angeles CleanTech Incubator, to transport manufactured face shields to hospitals throughout Los Angeles County. In April of 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic was in full swing, the LACI organization quickly jumped into action. They utilized the Advanced Prototyping Center (APC) to manufacture face shield donations for healthcare workers. This collaboration brought together organizations such as the Los Angeles Public Library’s Octavia Lab, Los Angeles County’s Youth@Work program, Goodwill of Southern California, City of Baldwin Park, the Greater Los Angeles Hospital Registry, and others. LACI plans to donate 100,000 shields by June 1st, 2021. As of February 19th, 2021, LACI was able to deliver over 42,000 face shields to doctors and nurses working in 25 different LA County Hospitals, including:

• Community Hospital of Huntington Park
• Long Beach Medical Center
• Adventist Health Glendale
• MLK Community Hospital
• Lakewood Regional Medical Center
• Sherman Oaks Hospital
• Valley Presbyterian Hospital
• Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center
• White Memorial Hospital
• Centinela Hospital Medical Center
• Monterey Park Hospital
• Mission Community
• Whittier Hospital
• Beverly Hospital

Recycled Material and Incorporating the Youth

The face shield design was originally tested by ER doctors at Cedar Sinai and helps prevent infectious droplets from entering the facial area. Additionally, these shields are designed so that they may be reused from one to five years. LACI works to recycle almost all plastic remnants leftover from manufacturing into 3D print filament that is then used in 3D printers, as opposed to being thrown away. 

The LA Country Youth@Work program helps place youth in a paid job that leads to a long-term career pathway. The youth involved in this program have helped assemble and box face shields, creating jobs for over 140 people. LACI has also introduced these youth to their APC Fellowship Program, a paid fellowship that provides technical training, interpersonal skills, and industry-recognized certifications to succeed in the green economy. Due to the shortage of many entry-level employment opportunities, LACI organizers say that are grateful for the opportunity to provide paid employment and learning opportunities.

SERVPRO Delivery Trucks = More Faceshield Deliveries

At the beginning of 2021, SERVPRO of South Pasadena/San Marino’s Sales Manager, Doug Beach, connected with a member of the LACI organization at a community meeting and asked how we could help with the efforts. Previously, the Los Angeles Library had been coordinating deliveries whenever possible. Now, with the help of SERVPRO’s huge box trucks, we are helping make deliveries of over 50 boxes of face shields every other Thursday, sometimes twice in one week. All shipments consist of 50 boxes containing 100 face shields. Each delivery contains 5,000 shields per delivery. Peyton Russell, Sales and Marketing Representative for SERVPRO of South Pasadena/San Marino, accompanies Doug on these deliveries and takes photos/videos of the deliveries, something that seldom happened before. Additionally, Ms. Russell and Mr. Beach help to load and unload the face shields at the facilities, track the delivery forms, and persist in social media efforts for the cause.

Dedication To The Community

When disaster strikes, SERVPRO of South Pasadena/San Marino is there to help. Our owner, SERVPRO Joe, believes in giving back to the community and making a difference whenever we can.

Time to celebrate!

Long-time franchise owner Joe McCann has recently acquired SERVPRO South Pasadena and San Marino this March. Joe and his team are very excited about joining the communities of both South Pasadena and San Marino!

Here is a little bit about Joe:

Joe and his wife Danielle McCann have owned SERVPRO of Glendora and San Dimas for over 16 years now. They are an amazing representation of the SERVPRO brand in the San Gabriel Valley. Their partnership is phenomenal, and they've both got your back for any type of water and fire emergency. They care immensely about both Glendora and San Dimas communities because it is their community too! They also own the SERVPRO Irwindale and Baldwin Park franchise, which they acquired in late 2017. Joe is always just a phone call away to answer any questions about SERVPRO’s services, or to share his journey as a franchise owner! He is a plethora of restoration knowledge! Seriously, ask him anything fire, water, or mold-related!

Together, Joe and Dani have three small children, sons Colton, Finn, and Parker. The future franchise owners of SERVPRO South Pasadena and San Marino. They are the “official” first line of defense for the franchise. They have big shoes to fill, but if they are anything like their hard-working parents, the cities of South Pasadena and San Marino will be in good hands for decades to come!

Firm Believers in Giving Back

Joe and Dani are firm believers in giving back to the South Pasadena and San Marino communities as much as possible. They often donate their trucks to be of service for local, charitable events! Such events include food drives, distribution of Covid-19 PPE, local rotary, and the chamber of commerce events. If using the SERVPRO trucks to help take goods from point A to point B for the party organizing helps their cause, the McCann’s are always honored to do it. They are firm believers in always giving back!
