SERVPRO corporate employs its own chemist and has its own line of cleaning products for its franchises. This is to ensure that the products we use are safe and friendly to the customers we serve in the Augusta/Waterville area. SERVPRO of Augusta/Waterville regularly uses one of our newer products, SERVPROXIDE, on job sites that have contaminated water or mold. SERVPROXIDE is an EPA-registered, stabilized chlorine dioxide-based disinfectant and sanitizer. 

Because many of the jobs we work on involve contaminated water or sewage, we use this cleaner to eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, and molds. SERVPROXIDE effectively removes any remaining contaminants from hard surfaces and sanitizes soft surfaces. It leaves a faint odor that quickly dissipates with air circulation. This product contains a PH level of 8.5-9.5, which means it carries the EPA's lowest toxicity rating and is safe for everyday use. In addition, the product is a 100% biodegradable surfactant and deemed safe for the environment.  Among many of the cleaning agents we use, SERVPROXIDE is one of our “go to" products in a long line of specialty products that SERVPRO offers.  

For all of your cleaning needs, we have highly effective products and we are Here to Help.  Call SERVPRO of Augusta/Waterville today at 207-622-7166.
