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.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank SERVPRO for the quick response to the Howard County Circuit Court House on the early morning of June 24th.

Jorge and his partner were diligent and well versed in documentation and what needed to be done. Saturday was a long day for all. Kudos to all who helped in the recovery of getting Howard County Circuit Court ready for its Monday morning opening by 9:00am.

I wanted to express how appreciative I am of Jorge and his team's work Wednesday and Friday. Jorge was very professional and he accommodate all of my needs and requests. They were clean, tidy, prompt and respectful.  I have some personal issues with cleanliness, and Jorge was respectful to those issues and treated me with the utmost respect and consideration. They did an exceptional job and should be commended. Thank you all.

We have been grateful for the team's work on our house. The communication between all people involved in assessing, setting up, and running equipment, taking care to have someone come out midway when we had a question, follow up and take down was excellent. We found your service to be extremely well organized.
