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.

Patricia Arvanites

Fantastic service all around! We called Servpro at our realtor’s suggestion to address some mold in the home we were purchasing. Daniel was very responsive, knowledgeable and prompt, communicating clearly and scheduling our assessment and mitigation appointments in a timely manner. He was also very reassuring. On the day of service, Frida and her team of two young women arrived on time after letting us know they were on their way. She explained her process thoroughly and set to work right away, communicating consistently throughout the day. To say they did a superior job would be an understatement. Frida walked me through all that they had done and provided helpful tips to maintain the mitigated condition. The area in question was free from musty odor and was sparkling clean (which was a surprise to me as I didn’t know that cleaning the area was part of the service). They left the HEPA filters in the home to run for two days and the tech who came to pick them up was courteous and efficient. Now I don’t want to put it out to the universe that I want more mold, however should this become an issue again (since we live in a rainforest), I would eagerly book Servpro of the Mountains’ services again with no hesitation. Thank you Faniel and Frida and your excellent work!

I am posting this thisbon behalf of my Mother and Father: "SERVPRO came in when our home of 32 years caught fire. Nicki and her team not only showed up promptly, they also were there with us throughout the entire process. We can't thank you enough, for helping us during our time of inherent need. Much appreciation to the entire team who helped clean away the old memory to create anew. They were even s detailed as to organized my pantry and dressers immaculately! Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything."

I had a moldy problem in my house and ServPro worked with me coming out three separate times before we confirmed the contract so I would be satisfied. They did a wonderful job, my house sparkles with cleanliness, my porch, everywhere! I was certainly pleased.

About Us

Don & Terri Collins have owned & operated SERVPRO of Tri-County for over 30 years.

Don is a graduate of Emmanuel College in Franklin Springs. His time spent in Franklin county gave him a love for beautiful Northeast Georgia and its people. After finishing his degree at the University of Georgia, Don went to work for SERVPRO in Athens.

When an opportunity came to purchase the SERVPRO office serving Stephens, Hart, Franklin and Elbert counties, Don jumped at the chance to return to the area. The first “office” was in fact a desk located on the back porch of a friend’s home. Our rural nature, large territory and smaller populations present challenges to any stand alone service franchise. But our incredible neighbors and local businesses have supported their hometown SERVPRO and we have flourished here.

In 1989, a small office/shop was opened in Royston, Georgia. Those days were very different as SERVPRO was primarily focused only on carpet & upholstery cleaning. Family, friends and many Emmanuel students helped to provide the best in professional cleaning. In those early years, Terri worked another full-time job to keep steady cash coming in to support the family. Eventually, she was able to join the company full time and took over managing the office and administrative functions.

Family business makes its demands on all members including son Justin who labored as a teen and college student doing at one time or another every type of field job. In 2009, he returned to the business and developed our marketing department.   Justin then worked his way thru the office and administrative functions growing and improving those departments as well.  Currently, he serves as our General Manager. 

Over the past 3 decades, SERVPRO has been blessed with a few hundred amazing employees.  A service business succeeds only on the caliber of its people and we have always been given the best. Many of our staff have also matured into managers, leaders and even business owners themselves. Not only is our staff trained and certified to industry standards, they are chosen for their character and compassion as well. Our people are caring and professional at times when our customers are at their most stressed dealing with unexpected fire or water damage.   

In 1995, a second location was launched in Mt Airy, Ga and we added Habersham, White, Rabun and Banks counties to our customer family. In 1996, the company purchased land and built its southern facility in Canon, Ga on the Hartwell highway. By this time, SERVPRO had expanded to include water, fire and mold cleanup so a larger facility was needed to clean, deodorize and store customer contents. The company continues to grow in size and its technical acumen to meet the ever-changing needs of the restoration industry. Due to many customer requests, we now also provide full reconstruction services.

We thank God for the blessings of our exceptional staff, loyal customers and the local business community that has enabled our livelihood in this amazing corner of Georgia.  

Today, Don & Terri continue to make their home in beautiful Hart county. They are blessed to be able to enjoy their children and grandchildren who live nearby in Carnesville.
