March 2024 CHAMBER BUSINESS OF THE MONTH: Servpro of Central Auglaize, Hardin & Logan Counties

SERVPRO of Central Auglaize, Hardin & Logan Counties is a well-known leader in water, fire and mold mitigation/restoration and has been a much-needed asset in our community since 2021. The franchise has been active in the Logan County area since the early 1990s, with national headquarters that began in 1969 in Gallatin, Tennessee.
​
Scott Huffman, SERVPRO Owner & GM, took over the franchise from Rich and Leah Cottrill, whom Scott was the Operations Manager for. Scott owes thanks and inspiration to the Cottrills for helping him realize his dream of franchise ownership and continuing the SERVPRO legacy of exceptional restoration services. Scott is joined by his wife, Andrea, who is the Marketing/Social Media Director and their team of Connor Macy, Mitigation Supervisor and Terrance Downey II, Mitigation Technician.
​

Scott’s deep connection to Bellefontaine and Logan County guided his choice – he was born and raised in Bellefontaine and attended The Ohio State University. When the idea of owning a franchise was being discussed, and realizing that the Logan County territory for SERVPRO was for sale, he couldn’t pass up an opportunity to work in the same area he grew up in. In December of 2021, they purchased an old auction warehouse at 315 South Elm Street, Bellefontaine and have been located there since. Being located close to Downtown, the location has been perfect for them.​

SERVPRO specializes in water, fire, and mold mitigation/restoration – these three items are the core of the business. Additional services include trauma and crime scene cleanup/Biohazards, emergency board ups, sump pump replacement, blown-in insulation removal, power washing/steam cleaning, deodorization of homes and vehicles, and equipment rentals. All of SERVPRO cleaning products are created by an in-house chemist and specific to the SERVPRO brand. The company is equipped to replace failed sump pumps and snake clogged lines within 25 feet and can rent equipment to people that may not necessarily need emergency services but may not have the correct equipment

Did you know?! All estimates for Logan County residents are free of charge! SERVPRO maintains a community-centric approach in a few different ways. The company supports many local entities, such as the Parks Department, and has donated fans to the Logan County Fair to use in the horse barns. They are honored to positively give back to the community when asked! The SERVPRO team also strives to make sure homeowners and property owners are well informed by reminding them to check their insurance documents and ensure that their most valuable assets are covered properly if or when situations may happen.

Recently, Scott and the SERVPRO team earned local recognition when they had the opportunity to assist the Knowlton Library after their pipes burst on Christmas Day 2022. Many damaged books were salvaged using sublimation by way of a freezer chamber at SERVPRO’s national headquarters. Important documents have the ability to be salvaged this way, also.
