Eastman Cleanup and Restoration

When Water-Fire-Storm Damage Happens in Kingsport, Tennessee, SERVPRO is here to help make any size disaster, like it "Like it never even happened."

After World War I ended, George Eastman founder of Eastman Kodak began working to have an independent supply of chemicals for his photographic processes. His search for suitable quantities of methanol and acetone led him to the Southern US.  In 1920, Tennessee Eastman was founded with two major platforms – organic chemicals and acetyls. Products such as calcium acetate, sodium acetate, acetic acid, and acetic anhydride became the basis for the company’s platforms. Kingsport is the home of Eastman Chemical Company’s Corporate Headquarters. Eastman covers around 900 acres and has approximately 7,000 employees, more than half of its total number of employees worldwide in Northeast Tennessee, making it the region’s largest employer. During World War II, RDX, a powerful explosive, was manufactured for the U.S. government at Holston Ordnance Works at Tennessee Eastman sites. At the peak of production near the end of the war, the ordnance plant was producing a million and a half pounds of explosives each day. Tennessee Eastman was responsible for managing the Y-12 National Security Complex at Oak Ridge, Tennessee which produced enriched uranium for the Manhattan Project, from 1943 to May 1947. Eastman, no matter the size, is still susceptible to water damage, whether it's the result of flash floods, intense storms, or internal issues such as burst pipes or appliances.
