General Info

SERVPRO of Chico/ Lake Almanor first opened its doors back in 2010, beginning as a partnership between William Jones and a construction company. After four years, William decided that he was ready to take on sole ownership. With his wife, Babette, at his side they decided to purchase the construction company out of their portion and take SERVPRO of Chico/ Lake Almanor under their wing. Now having more than 20 years of experience in the restoration field, William continues to lead the company through changes and expansion. In 2019 we experienced additional growth in purchasing two additional franchises: SERVPRO of Grass Valley/ Loma Rica SERVPRO of Yuba City/ Marysville At SERVPRO we understand the stress and worry that comes with a fire or water damage, and the disruption it can cause to your life and home or business. Our goal is to help minimize that interruption and help your life get back in order. In 2018 we experienced firsthand the devastation, destruction, and worry that Wildfires cause to homes. In November, the Camp Fire consumed and leveled the town of Paradise, California. In just one day William and Babette lost their home and the town where almost 1/3 of SERVPRO of Chico/Lake Almanor’s business came from. In addition to losing his own home, many of his employee’s were also affected. Some were evacuated and several lost their homes and possessions. Since then, SERVPRO of Chico/ Lake Almanor does its best to maintain a positive culture and supportive work environment! William is known in the community, and to his employees, for his kind heart and generous nature. William and his wife Babette, a Transitional Kindergarten Teacher, want to make their employees feel invested in and encouraged to become strong leaders. William sends employees and managers to earn several different industry certifications (including IICRC water, fire, and biohazard certifications) and to leadership seminars and training regularly. When William first took over ownership of the Chico/Lake Almanor franchise he took the management team on a retreat where they decided on a list of core values that all successful employees must possess. Here at SERVPRO of Chico/ Lake Almanor our core values are: Positive Attitude Mutual Respect Humility Passion for the Purpose Commitment to Excellence Integrity People Smart We always look for candidates that embody our core values when hiring for our team!
