Rodent Infestation
No one likes sharing their space with unsanitary intruders. They eat your wires and ductwork, urinate and defecate in your attics and walls, and cause real anxiety. We will thoroughly disinfect and clean your home or business to “make it like it never even happened.”

SERVPRO follows all OSHA and EPA guidelines to make sure all chemical contaminants are safely removed, leaving your space clean, compliant, and habitable.
Squad Cars and Jail Cells
Keeping our first responders safe and healthy is a top priority. Contaminants and biohazards like:

Viruses & Pathogens
Through our Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned program, we offer a specialized viral pathogen deep cleaning service that ensures that you and your space are both healthy and clean. SERVPRO can assist with C diff, HIV-1, Norovirus, MRSA, and many other viruses and bacteria.
What To Do When You Have a Biohazard Emergency
The need for biohazard or hazmat cleaning usually comes with little or no warning. And it can be truly overwhelming.
Dealing with hazardous materials is best left to experienced, certified professionals. But if you find yourself in such a traumatic incident, here are a few important things to remember.
Call Emergency Personnel
Emergency services should be called in a life-threatening situation.
Do Not Attempt Any Cleaning Yourself
Cleaning of any kind could interfere with a possible investigation and expose you to harmful contaminated materials.
Stay Out Of The Area
Stay out of any affected areas. There may be potentially dangerous hazardous materials left behind.
Treat All Bodily Fluids As Contaminated
Do not touch or handle items that might be contaminated with extremely harmful bodily fluids. And always treat bodily fluids as if they’re contaminated.
Simplifying Insurance
We make insurance claims easier, with fewer headaches for you. We handle the details and coordinate any paperwork, so you can focus on moving forward.
We will thoroughly document the damage and communicate clearly with you and your insurance company throughout the process.
Your insurance provider trusts SERVPRO to respond quickly—we address biohazard issues swiftly to ensure the safety of all concerned, prevent further damage, control costs, and keep the insurance process moving smoothly.
What our
customers are saying
Today we had two gentlemen come to our home to inspect a mysterious leak. The two men that came were David and Richard, and they were awesome. My mother and I both commented that we have never been treated so lovely by any repair person. I will recommend both SERVPRO and these gentlemen to anyone in need, and thank you all. The leak ended up being something besides a pipe or things they are used to seeing. Yet these men stayed until they found the source of the problem. They truly cared, and again I am thankful beyond words to know people like this still exist in the world. God bless and thank you for the thorough customer service and honest help.
Great! Your people were wonderful to work with from the first phone call to the last visit!!!
When my washer was leaking in my laundry room and the warm dryer air mixed with it the mold took over a small area of my wall. Well I thought it would be just a quick and simple fix but a week after trying to clean it myself. Turns out it was more than I could handle. Thanks SERVPRO for getting it done for me.
SERVPRO was great to work with. Had an issue with a unit and they were able to take care of it completely. Will be doing business with them in the future.
Fast response, professional, informative, courteous, and polite - I would use SERVPRO over anyone else!
My sister definitely made the right call. We can’t even tell where the water damage was in her bathroom.
SERVPRO did an excellent job removing the mold in my house. They were very efficient and thorough. Mike answered All my questions. He showed me pictures he took during the process. They left the place cleaner than it was when they came! Thank you!!
Victor with SERVPRO of Catawba West was great to work with. It's unusual in today's world of impersonal service to be able to call a cell number and have someone pick up immediately and ready to help. Victor was the man to help us through water damage issues at our townhome in Hickory. Stephanie in the office was also very responsive to paperwork or insurance questions. Highly Recommended!
SERVPRO was helpful in relieving the stress from our accident. I couldn't even think clearly and Tammy and her crew came in and took over everything. And as our family needed items while we were displaced from our home, the team at SERVPRO was prompt to get them to us. Unbelievable at how prompt, professional, courteous, and empathetic they were—anticpitating our needs before we even knew what needed to be done. Thank you for help making this difficult time a little easier.
About Us
Our Story
Hi, we’re Kim and Randy Williams, the proud owners of SERVPRO of Catawba County West.
Having been in the cleanup and restoration industry since 1992, we decided to open a SERVPRO franchise that served Alexander and Caldwell Counties in 2009, just after the recession hit. While it was a slow start, we took every job and treated our customers with empathy and respect. Our success led to our acquisition of Burke County in 2011 and the two franchises in Catawba County in 2015. Today, we have over 50 employees and operate four franchises that serve Alexander, Burke, Caldwell, and Catawba counties.
We pride ourselves in our customer service and will not consider a job complete until the customer is fully satisfied. We are here to help and make any size disaster “Like it never even happened.”
Our Employees
SERVPRO of Catawba County West’s mission is to develop a team of quality people who focus on excellent service, fairness and mutual respect. This simple concept has driven our growth and we believe will continue to do so for years. All of our employees are uniformed, energetic, and ready to respond to emergencies. We are also a Clean Trust (IICRC) Certified Firm, and all of our Crew Chiefs are Certified Technicians!
Our employees take to the streets 24/7/365 to meet the disaster restoration needs of our customers. Because we are part of a nationwide system of qualified franchises, no damage is too large or too small for our team of heroes!
Our Services
Restoring property is our first priority. We offer a wide range of services to our communities with a 98% satisfaction rate from surveys conducted with our customers. Our local services include, but are not limited to: commercial and residential fire, smoke and soot damage, water restoration, mold mitigation and remediation, biohazard cleanup, deodorizing and much more.
In the last few years, we have performed fire damage cleanup and restoration and/or water damage mitigation for Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Valley Hills Mall, South Park Mall-Charlotte, Hildebran town hall and Bernhardt Furniture in Lenoir.

Our State-of-the-Art Equipment
We operate an on-site textile cleaning facility and warehouse for recovering damaged items from fire and smoke damage. The cleaning room has commercial washers, dryers, and an Esporta cleaning system (capable or restoring over 85% of items previously considered non-restorable).
We also have ultrasonic equipment, an ozone room and a heated drying chamber to properly dry materials. The ultrasonic allows us to clean items that previously would have been claimed unsalvageable!
Community Involvement
We serve our community beyond our cleanup and restoration services; we encourage our employees to become involved in community activities and groups. We are active participants in community events such as the NC Fire and Safety Bowl competition, local festivals and parades. We support and participate in local causes that benefit schools, first responders and charitable community organizations such as the Wig Bank, Robins Next, Helping Hands Clinic, Communities in Schools, Hospice, Shelter Homes and more.
