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

SERVPRO was a Lifesaving Company for me, no doubt. They quickly responded to a call in the wee hours on a Saturday morning when I stepped out of bed into several inches of water covering my whole first floor.
They were a true team, and quickly put my mind at ease that all was going to be fine, and they would help me every step of the way. They had dehumidifiers and drying blowers in no time.
Shelley Weatherington has especially been there for me, the estimator for the company. She is very knowledgeable and proactive. So glad she's in my court.
Timmy, Jonathan, Bobbie, Tommy, Greg, and ALL the crew were and are amazing. Thank you!

I would highly recommend SERVPRO. They responded quickly to my call and were able to help me right away with water damage. Jonathan, the lead technician, called me every morning when he was on his way, responded to every text or question I asked and worked long hard hours every day. Brent (owner),Jonathan and Greg (tech) made this difficult situation so much easier.

Everything SERVPRO did for me as the prime contractor was done very well. I could not be more pleased with their communication. They handled mortgage bank adjusters and the insurance company adjusters with a firm hand. If the job is to be done well, you have to be patient. I would recommend SERVPRO every time.

Soooo thankful for the team effort from SERVPRO in Swansboro!!!! After an active leak was found at our beach house over Spring Break- I was distraught thinking about the process that I was going to have to go through with insurance and repairs. Thankfully my realtor put me in touch with Dakota- and the rest was magic!!! Shelley, the mitigation team, and Tommy with the repair team- all went above and beyond to make this as painless as possible. I cannot praise them enough for their hard work and their kindness!! Everything was repaired properly and in a timely manner. I would highly suggest them in these types of situations- you will appreciate knowing someone is going to take care of you- and they are going to do the job right!!!
