Essex Cleanup and Restoration

When Water and Fire Damage Happens in Essex, We Are Here for You

The town of Essex was once home to a prosperous shipbuilding trade. This industry accounted for most of the revenue of the town from the days of its settlement as Chebacco Parish until the early part of the 20th century. Once a leading supplier of schooners for Gloucester and other Atlantic fishing communities, Essex did not adapt to the transition from sail-powered wooden ships to engine-powered metal vessels, and this activity disappeared around World War II. There have been recent attempts to return to shipbuilding on a small scale as a tourist attraction and they have met with some success. The Essex Shipbuilding Museum stands as a living testament to the wooden shipbuilding industry and the neighboring boat yard owned by generations of the Story Family still constructs and launches classic wooden ships built in the Essex tradition. Due to its locality, the weather can be a huge factor in the winter and SERVPRO understands that homes in this area might need help in the off season where the coastal winds can fan flames and cold can lead to old cast iron pipes bursting. Luckily, SERVPRO is the best choice for Fire Damage Restoration as well as Water Damage Restoration.

The main sources of income for the town of Essex are the shellfish industry and tourism. The fried clam recipe was reportedly invented in Essex by Chubby Woodman early in the 20th century. Due to the quality of the clam that lives in the tidal river in Essex, local restaurants thrive by preparing it along with other types of seafood. SERVPRO is here for this community and has helped many of these businesses with Fire Damage Restoration as well as Water Damage Restoration when the unthinkable happens.
