Free Union Cleanup and Restoration

Free Union, Virginia, is located ten miles north of Charlottesville. Eighty-six people live in this small Albemarle County community. Residents trust SERVPRO® to respond to fire damage and water damage emergencies 24-hours a day, 365 days a year.  

Free Union was first called Nicksville after Nick, a freed slave blacksmith, opened his shop there in the early 1800s. When the post office was established in 1847, the village was renamed Free Union to avoid confusing the area with neighboring Nixville, the name of another post office in the county. The Glass House Winery, Brown Mountain Overlook, and Ivy Creek Overlook are popular sights. 

There are 217 sunny days, 117 rain days every year, and 43 inches of rain annually. The months with the most rainfall are April and May, and winters receive an average of 16 inches of snow. Storms can be intense and cause flooding and property damage from high winds and downed trees. When major weather events occur, it is good to know that SERVPRO is part of a national network of over 2000 franchises that can arrive anywhere in the United States and Canada to mitigate and restore the damage. 

Mold damage is a common challenge in this moist climate. Our technicians are trained and certified to mitigate and restore mold damage by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), the nonprofit certifying body for the cleaning and restoration industries. You never know when you’ll need our services, but if you need help with a mold problem, storm, fire, or water damage, you can trust SERVPRO®’s professionals to restore your property to pre-damage conditions “Like it never even happened.”
