Restoration

In the last phase, SERVPRO repairs any structural damage and returns your property to its previous condition. Before the space is cleared for re-entry, we’ll conduct a final inspection to make sure the area is safe, clean, and ready for you to return.

Residential Sewage Cleanup

Sewage contamination in homes is often caused by toilet overflows, pipe backups, waste line leaks, or outside floodwater. Keep in mind that raw sewage contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and pathogens that can contaminate flooring, walls, air systems, and personal belongings.

With quick, professional, and discrete intervention from SERVPRO, you can avoid further damage, mold growth, lingering odors, and long-term health risks. And quickly return to a home that’s safe and livable again.

Commercial Sewage Cleanup

Sewage damage in commercial buildings can be disruptive. But with commercial sewage cleanup and biohazard restoration from SERVPRO, it doesn’t always require an extended shutdown. We act quickly to remove contaminated water, sanitize the space, and get your business back to safe operations.

We respond 24/7 with industrial-grade equipment and certified protocols. If possible, we will isolate problem areas so your operations can continue with minimal interruption.

From overflowing toilets to large-scale black water flooding, we’ve seen it all. We’re the team to make things right again.

What our
customers are saying

I had no idea that there was a leak in my bathroom until the water damage was so bad that the floor almost fell in. I appreciate you being so accommodating when I called after hours. Most of all, I appreciate how quickly and efficiently your team made the necessary repairs.

Our Home, after a hot water line in an upstairs bathroom left hot water flowing throughout the house for 72+ hours, was an unimaginable disaster. Our house was close to a 90% loss. But the road ahead was made smoother by the professional handling of William Wheeler and his team. We cannot be more impressed. Thank you to William Wheeler and the SERVPRO team for the incredible patience, concern, and hard work to allow us to know that ”It’s Going to Be Alright.”

SERVPRO should be one of the first calls you make after a major storm rolls through. That last one tore some roof shingles off the house, and being an older home, water was leaking in several areas, including the garage. SERVPRO arrived quickly and began gathering and removing the debris from the trees and what hand come off the roof. The team also began removing the water from the rain leaking in. They did their job quickly and prevented major water damage to the walls and likely mold growth. I highly recommend them when these storms come through the area.

One of the old trees in the yard was knocked down during a recent windy rain storm. It fell on the roof and caused some major damage. SERVPRO got a crew to us within a couple hours after I called and got moving! They cleaned up the parts of the roof that were in the yard and in the room they landed in. they picked up the fallen tree and got it prepped for removal, which they also handled! They were quick and very efficient. If the next storm causes damage, I am ready to call SERVPRO.

To whom it may concern: I seldom give top scores, the SERVPRO team earned all tens. I don't ever want to have a flooded home again, but I would certainly call SERVPRO again.

Thank you so much. Your technicians were wonderful and walked me through the entire water damage restoration process. I’d recommend them to anyone who finds themselves in this situation.

"We have a five-year-old child, and the technicians informed us about the best options for our living accommodations during water damage cleanup. We were able to be off site, and that allowed us to be able to return more quickly. The crew was always on time, and they cleaned up after their work."

About Us

Here at SERVPRO of San Leandro going the extra mile is just what we do. As California natives, we have experienced more than one wildfire throughout our time here and are one of the few Large Loss Franchises in Northern California. However, we are also happy to help our community in any way we can. Our fire and water team has negotiated with State or Federal agencies to help senior citizens get the extra attention and care they deserve; on more than one occasion.

From the earliest Spanish settlers through to the Goldrush and developments of a new American town, San Leandro has a rich cultural history. You can see all of it and more at the San Leandro History Museum and Art Gallery. However, we have also come together as a community in times of adversity, the devastating wildfires sweeping across the state this year being just one example over many years of restoration service.

We enjoy great success as a leading provider of Fire, Water, Mold, BIOHAZARD, and Large Loss restoration. So when the opportunity to give back to this fine community is there we grab it with both hands. We actively contribute to the American Red Cross "Ready Rating Program" to help our commercial business owners prepare for a natural disaster. Our marketing manager, Pierre Cisneros, created a Holiday Toy Drive for a Christmas event at the Women's Daytime Drop-in Center in Berkeley, CA and staff happily gave up their weekend to volunteer and make it a success.

We are a local service, and our ethos comes from owner Roy Drake, one of few IICRC master certificate holders in California. However, as a national franchise, our access to equipment is unparalleled. Ultimately, a service you can trust comes from a combination of expertise, honesty, and equipment — we are resolute in our determination to provide all three. So, when you next experience a disaster of any size, contact us on our emergency call line operated 24 hours a day to arrange a service.
