History
Ted and Doris Isaacson launched Servpro Industries in 1967 as a painting business in Sacramento, California. With a background of cleaning and recovery, they turned the company into a franchise cleaning and recovery specialist. After selling its first franchise in 1969, Servpro continued to grow, acquired the Bristol-Domestic Myers Division and 175 franchises in 1979, and developed a highly respected national franchise.
Servpro relocated its corporate headquarters from Sacramento to Gallatin, Tennessee in 1988. At the time of relocation, Servpro consisted of 647 franchises. The company sold the 1,000th franchise in 2000.
To accommodate their growth, the Servpro headquarters moved to a 140,000 square foot facility (13,000 m 2 ) in 2005, which expanded to 200,000 square feet (19,000 m 2 ) in the year 2014. In 2015, The Tennessean enrolled Servpro as one of the top workplaces in Tennessee.
Servpro consists of more than 1,700 franchises in the United States and Canada.
