Hammond Cleanup and Restoration

Originally located on Native American land called Neahkstow, Hammond serves as the entrance to Oregon’s Fort Stevens State Park. Originally incorporated under the name “New Astoria”, in 1915 the town’s citizens voted to change the name to Hammond so it shared the same name as the local railway station and post office. Hammond was named after Andrew B. Hammond, a Montana native who moved to Oregon and worked on the Astoria and Columbia River Railroad that travels from Astoria to Portland. The town houses a small population of around 1,300 residents. Most notably, the popular 1993 film Free Willy had a scene filmed in Hammond Bay. The iconic scene showed Willy (Keiko the whale in real life) jumped over the rock wall in the Hammond Bay to freedom in the Pacific Ocean. Keiko lived in the Newport Aquarium for a short while after the film before being transported to Iceland and eventually let back into the wild.

Property Restoration in Hammond

SERVPRO operates our coastal outpost and shop out of Hammond, so we are no strangers to the area and the risks that property owners face. Hammond, like it’s neighboring city Astoria, deals with a significant amount of flooding during Oregon’s rainy seasons. Flooding, by nature, is more damaging than your average water loss due to the unknown pollutants that can be in the water. The greater the number of pollutants in the water, the higher the risk of microbial or mold growth on materials in the home or business. Hammond may be a small community, but they have their fair share of run-ins with fire-related damages as human or mechanical error can happen at any time. SERVPRO can quickly respond to a fire or water loss in Hammond and take care of not only the customer but restore their home or business and the belongings that make a house a home or are essential to making a business function. 24/7 emergency services are available so call us anytime - day or night.
