Cleaning and Restoration in Piscataquis County, Maine

Dover-Foxcroft has the county’s page. We also work in Guilford, Sangerville, Milo, Monson, Sebec and the other surrounding towns across the county.

The Piscataquis River is the main water risk in Dover-Foxcroft. The National Weather Service says basement flooding becomes possible at several properties when the river reaches 12 feet. At higher stages the water spreads to Pine Street, South Street, backyards along Grange, Greene and Riverside Avenue and, at the top of the range, River Street. A 2020 storm brought the river onto a ball field near several homes. When water gets into a basement we pump it out, remove what cannot be saved and dry the structure with moisture checks.

The housing is old. More than a third of the homes in Dover-Foxcroft were built before 1940, and over four in ten before 1960. Old basements, stone foundations and wood framing take on water and hold it, so mold can follow a flood if drying is rushed. We assess mold first and then remove it, and the mold page describes the testing and the removal steps.

Mayo Regional Hospital is in town, and we clean medical and commercial buildings. Calls outside business hours are logged by a local answering service, and the on-call staff phones back within 15 minutes.

Floods ruin papers and photographs as well as floors, and we dry documents as part of water work. Carpet and upholstery are cleaned with van-mounted hot steam extraction, and carpets typically dry in twelve to twenty-four hours. Furnace and duct cleaning is available after a fire. The national duct cleaners’ association recommends a cleaning every three to five years, and sooner in homes with pets or smokers.

All of our services are available in the county, including smoke and soot cleaning and clothing restoration. The toll-free line is 1-800-479-6676. The Penobscot County page covers the towns to the south and east.
