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.

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.

They were very professional, I appreciate all they did !

I had an excellent experience with the SERVPRO team that handled the water mitigation service at my home. From the moment they arrived, they were professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain the entire process, answered all of my questions, and worked efficiently to minimize the damage. The crew treated my home with care, kept the work area as clean as possible, and communicated with me every step of the way. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality gave me peace of mind during a very stressful situation. I truly appreciate their hard work, professionalism, and outstanding customer service. I highly recommend SERVPRO to anyone in need of water mitigation or restoration services. Thank you for making a difficult experience so much easier!

Professional, done a great job!

Randy Finch

Had SERVPRO of Columbus/Starkville come to my home to clean the air ducts. They were on time, worked quickly, communicated effectively, were polite/respectful, and cleaned up after themselves! All around good experience. Worth the investment into my home! Would highly recommend their services.

Danielle Judd

EXCELLENT experience with a 2-day move. Superior staff, thorough and knowledgeable, courteous and shows true value throughout the whole process! Jeffrey, Aaron, Gunner, Egypt and Braylon are 5 star from start to finish!

In spite of somewhat of a personal tragedy with a ruptured water pipe in my house, the ServPro employees were very professional and expedient in meeting our needs for the initial cleanup and dehumidification required. They were very responsive in scheduling when they would be present and were always there on time. My family was in awe that they were putting our needs before their very own as most of the people I dealt with were still experiencing power loss at there own personal homes. Thanks for their professionalism and top notch service; I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Terry Bruce and his team did great work at my mom and dad's house when the upstairs main 4" drain line broke and flooded the down stairs and living room furniture. Terry was very courteous and knowledgeable.

Robby Callahan

We recently utilized Starkville Servpro after suffering a major water leak at our outpatient surgery center (Columbus Orthopaedic Surgery Center). This team of professionals were quick to respond and impressively knowledgeable. They greatly reduced our downtime and ultimate damage. Our large, national insurance company was very pleased to learn we engaged them and always trusted their recommendations. We can’t thank Starkville Servpro enough, as this experience truly felt like family helping family!
