History
Ted and Doris Isaacson launched Servpro Industries in 1967 as a painting business in Sacramento, California. With a background in cleaning and restoration, they transformed the company into a franchisor of cleanup and restoration specialists. After selling its first franchise in 1969, Servpro continued to grow, acquiring the Bristol-Myers Domesticare Division and its 175 franchises in 1979, and developing a highly-regarded national franchise.
Servpro relocated the corporate headquarters from Sacramento to Gallatin, Tennessee in 1988. At the time of the relocation, Servpro consisted of 647 franchises. The company sold its 1,000th franchise in 2000.
To accommodate their growth, the Servpro headquarters moved to a facility of 140,000 square feet (13,000 m2) in 2005, which was expanded to 200,000 square feet (19,000 m2) in 2014. In 2015, The Tennessean listed Servpro as one of Tennessee's top workplaces.
Servpro consists of more than 1,700 franchises in the United States and Canada.

Similarly, Servpro was involved in restoration and reconstruction after Superstorm Sandy.
