Making a Memorial New Again

We were able to completely remove the graffiti on the memorial and get it clean for the community to enjoy.

Graffiti and vandalism can happen anywhere and recently our SERVPRO team was called to remove spray paint from a local memorial. This concrete memorial is located on a portion of the city bike trail and we did not think anyone would even notice that we had been there as it is set back in the trees just off of the trail, allowing us to be discrete about the removal process. The day our team members showed up to do the job, we had two ladies meet us at the entrance to the trail and told us how glad that they were that we were there to clean it up as they had been trying it themselves for over a month. These two ladies had no connection to the college, but had been trying to clean it, so the trail system could look the best it could for the community that uses it. There is still true community pride which really means a lot in the world that we live in today.
