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.

We are so appreciative of all you did to help us with our water damage! And to top it off, we called on a Sunday morning and they were there!??

We had a shower value bust behind the tiled wall of our shower while we were away, which, needless to say, caused a big mess!  SERVPRO of Roanoke Rapids was absolutely top notch in their response for us. My husband and I both very extremely pleased with their responsiveness and professionalism. We highly recommend!!!!

SERVPRO of Roanoke Rapids did an amazing job. Not only was Stephen extremely friendly, professional, and prompt, the same can be said for the rest of the team that responded to my house. :) I had an emergency situation where my basement was flooded by an intense rainstorm. After searching for moisture levels in every nook and corner of my basement, they brought industrial fans and a dehumidifier to dry the damaged areas.  Again, I cannot reiterate how friendly and helpful the team was!! Furthermore, I was always able to contact Stephen, never did I deal with voicemails, etc, I felt like SERVPRO of Roanoke Rapids really dedicated their services to me, and I know for fact that they were simultaneously working on a few other emergencies at other locations. They get a 5 Star review from this guy. Thanks again.
