OMEGASONICS ON THE JOB

ALONG THE MAIN LINE

Bala Cynwyd (last word pronounced "kinwood") is part of Philadelphia's Main Line, an area extending west from the city along the historic main line of Pennsylvania Railroad. Main Line is the location of some of the most exclusive suburbs in the United States. But even prestigious homes are not immune to fire and water damage. The difference is that when a high-end Main Line residence has a mishap, the cleaning and restoration inventory of art objects, fine dishware and other delicate pieces can be considerable.

•

John and Laura Chaves bought ServPro of Eastern Main Line/ Bala Cynwyd in 2000. John had been in the cleaning and restoration industry for a decade prior to becoming owner of his own franchise. He had a good idea of the equipment and techniques required to run an effective and profitable 1 business. Along with ServPro's excellent name recognition, training and support, he knew there would be one more key to his success: his choice of fire restoration equipment.

GOING WITH OMEGASONICS

Before he went into business for himself, John discovered a better method for cleaning and restoration, one that eliminated time-consuming hand labor. "About 10 years ago, I first encountered Omegasonics' ultrasonic fire restoration systems," said John. "I always knew that when I opened my own business, an Omegasonics system would be at the top of my wish list."

The Omegasonics Fire Pro does wonders with delicate keepsakes.
