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.”

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.


1.svg

Call Emergency Personnel

Emergency services should be called in a life-threatening situation.

2.svg

Do Not Attempt Any Cleaning Yourself

Cleaning of any kind could interfere with a possible investigation and expose you to harmful contaminated materials.

3.svg

Stay Out Of The Area

Stay out of any affected areas. There may be potentially dangerous hazardous materials left behind.

4.svg

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.

What our
customers are saying

Drew came out to assess the mold issue in my barn. He came up with a treatment plan and Lenin and Ernesto were out quickly to do the work. Everyone I spoke with, from the front office through Lenin and Ernesto, were friendly, professional and quick to respond. Thank you for a job well done, Lenin and Ernesto!

Paige Jobe

You guys did an excellent job.

Donalson Sanon

Had some major water damage in my kitchen and Servpro was excellent! I highly recommend Lenin! Drew his manger was also great! Flexible, reliable and easy to communicate with.

Rachael Canupp

Lenin and his team did a phenomenal job assisting us when we had an upstairs toilet overflow. The team arrived at my home within an hour of my initial phone call on a Monday morning. The team was efficient, polite, communicative and did an overall great job. I highly recommend this Servpro team for anyone needing water remediation.

Ashley Hodgson

Lenin and Blake were very professional and provided excellent customer service. They arrived promptly and thoroughly explained the process to me. They provided several blowers and dehumidifiers to dry the water in my attic as well as bedroom. The job was done in a timely manner and clean up was great. I felt at ease with the process. I would highly recommend them!

Cheryl Smith

Ernesto was so responsive and helpful at helping us make sense of the situation and get it under control!

Margaret Hart

Servpro of Athens went above and beyond in everything they did for our church home. Our youth building had some ongoing issues that these amazing people took it upon themselves to help us make sure our community and our children are protected and have a place to worship safely! Thank you all for everything you have done for Canaan Baptist Church!

Pastor Michael McCroan

Talena and this entire branch have been absolutely incredible. She has gone completely out of her way on three separate occasions to help me, and I haven’t even officially hired her for a service yet. She’s been assisting me with a real estate listing that had a lingering cigarette odor preventing the home from showing and selling the way it should. Not only did she take the time to offer her expert advice, but she personally stopped by THREE separate times just to check on things and help me troubleshoot the issue — all without expecting a dime in return. That level of care and dedication is almost unheard of these days. She also recommended a reasonably priced duct cleaning company that did an amazing job! I’m genuinely blown away by the customer service, professionalism, and kindness she’s shown me from day one. It’s hard enough to find good customer service anymore, let alone exceptional service from someone who gains nothing from helping. To me, that says everything about a person’s integrity and the kind of business they run. When someone is willing to help simply because they care about doing the right thing, that speaks volumes. I can confidently say this branch is honest, knowledgeable, and truly customer-focused. I would recommend Talena and her team to anyone without hesitation!

Devon and Randy was outstanding!!! Real polite and professional. Took their time and didn't break anything. If needed be I would hire them and their crew again. Servepro....please continue the great work
