Port Tobacco Cleanup and Restoration

Fire Damage and Water Damage in Port Tobacco

If you’re ever in southern Maryland, you’ve got to swing by Port Tobacco, MD. It began as a Native settlement called Potopaco, and then grew into one of colonial Maryland’s busiest seaports. In the 1700s and 1800s, it was the county seat of Charles County, though silt in the river eventually choked off its maritime trade. 

Nowadays, Port Tobacco is a quiet historic village, but with a ton of character. You can tour Stagg Hall, an 18th-century merchant’s home tucked just off the old town square.   The Port Tobacco Courthouse has been reconstructed as a small museum celebrating local heritage. Please don’t skip the Washington Burch House; it tells powerful stories about African American history in the region. 

Just a little ways out is St. Ignatius Church (dating back to the late 1700s). It is one of the oldest Catholic parishes in the U.S. Also nearby is Mount Carmel Monastery, built around 1790 for Carmelite nuns. It is simple but deeply atmospheric. For architecture lovers, there’s Ellerslie, a Georgian-style house tied to a signer of the U.S. Constitution.

If you’re in Port?Tobacco this fall, don’t miss the Autumn Dinner happening October 16 at Christ Episcopal Church, in nearby Waldorf, MD. Enjoy a warm evening of good food, local fellowship, and fall vibes. Mark your calendar now; this one’s worth the trip!

Air Movers in Water Damage Restoration

Air movers are high-velocity fans designed to accelerate evaporation during the drying process. SERVPRO® techs position them strategically to move large volumes of air across wet surfaces. By creating constant airflow, air movers lift moisture from carpets, walls, and floors, drastically cutting drying times and preventing additional damage, such as mold.

Ozone Deodorizers in Fire Damage Restoration

Ozone deodorizers release ozone molecules that break apart smoke and odor particles at the molecular level. SERVPRO uses them in sealed environments after fire cleanup to neutralize stubborn smells embedded in walls, furniture, and fabrics. The result? Clean, fresh indoor air that smells like home again, without the smell of smoke.
