Fire

SERVPRO San Gabriel responding to a post arson fire in the city of Paramount CA.  

Ever since CA legalized cannabis operations there has been a significant increase in clandestine operations both in the growing and selling of Marijuana.  Several factors have contributed the spread of illicit growing and sales. 

Non existent penalties: Cities and municipalities are no longer treating marijuana as high risk criminal activity. Illicit growers are now incentive by the none existent enforcement and penalties by police and courts. 

Additionally with the high taxes associated with legal grow operations, dispensaries are incentive to buy from cheaper growers who circumvent taxes and oversized by clandestinely growing marijuana.

Bloody mess in El Monte, CA

A family with a newborn baby had a major scare the end of 2020. One afternoon the wife and daughter of the man that called SERVPRO San Gabriel had been home alone when an intruder broke into their home carrying a machete saw that he had on and running. This intruder came in through the back door of the house, and ran throughout the entire property. He got his blood everywhere. From the ground, the walls, the bathroom, the baby's room, crib and bedding. I would be disgusted and terrified being a new parent and having this blood all over my child's belongings. With that being said, these homeowners and new parents contacted SERVPRO of San Gabriel. We arrived as police were finishing their report and removing the intruder from the premises. When SERVPRO of San Gabriel arrived they began to remove and dump all affected contents in proper biohazard waste containers. After removing affected contents technicians began tearing out and removing affected areas and followed up with a decontamination job. The homeowner was extremely pleased with our work and has actually referred us. "Thank you SERVPRO San Gabriel, I'm very pleased with the work .. THANK YOU!"
