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.

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.

This is the mold remediation company you want. We had previously discovered mold in one of the rooms of our house, got a whole-home inspection done, and ended up with a remediation protocol from the inspector. We first contacted a different remediation company who (long story short) struggled to follow the protocol and could not pass a follow-up inspection so we broke off that engagement and got in touch with Robert at ServPro of Tallahassee. The experience was night and day. ServPro followed the protocol perfectly, took our personal concerns into consideration, worked with us on a plan to minimize disruption to our lives as much as possible, always showed up when they said they would, wrapped up each day at a reasonable time, and (most importantly) communicated with us extremely well the whole time. They did the job, absolutely crushed it, charged us less than the other guys were going to, and we passed the follow-up inspection on the first try. This is the company you want.

ServPro of Tallahassee , and the service it provides, is nothing short of exceptional. We had the unfortunate fallout from a giant tree landing on our roof. Damage to numerous rooms in the house was significant. Once the tree was removed, ServPro of Tallahassee moved in and immediately started demolition and cleanup, while carefully protecting unaffected areas of the house. Robert Philbrick and his wonderful team were there every day until the job was done. During that time, communication was ongoing. If we could give them more than a 5 star rating, we certainly would. Thank you ServPro Team!

We used SERVPRO of Tallahassee for cleanup of water damage under our kitchen sink. They were very professional and reasonably priced. We were happy with the entire body of work, but there are two things beyond just completing the job I want to highlight. First, they treated our home and property with respect. Even when cutting drywall and pulling out cabinets, they made sure the work area was kept clean and the dust didn't stray to other areas. Second, they were honest. Their final invoice to me was less than the original estimate. They could have charged me the quoted estimate even if the work ended up being a little less, but they showed integrity. That goes a long way in my book.

Quick and effective response definitely answered all of my questions when they arose. Maintained a good level of communication between my insurance adjuster and themselves. I never felt out of the loop

Matt DeSimone

Servpro is an amazing company! I called with an emergency and Servpro sent a team immediately. Charles and John were professional, friendly and started working immediately to help resolve our issues. They, along with their Production Manager, have shown great care for our house and have explained every step of the way. I appreciate the professionalism and hard work provided by Charles and John!

Kristy Ward

Kevin Winship

When our house flooded, they did a great job of drying the water up while closely monitoring it. I would highly recommend this company for any of your water damage needs.
