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.

From overflowing toilets to large-scale black water flooding, we’ve seen it all. We’re the team to make things right again.

Good group of people that manage the office, very knowledgeable

Sam Rivaldo

Matt S. and Jason M. are awesome to work with. Super communicative, responsive, and knowledgable. They provide excellent scopes and work well with all clients. Highly recommend these folks!

Nate Winans

Allan and Mike C were phenomenal! As a first time home owner, I was mortified when a refrigerator hose caused a disaster in my kitchen and basement. It was a first time experience that left me filled with anxiety. The first time we met they went over in details everything that was expected to transpire over the next few weeks. From Demolition to clean up to treating the kitchen with anti microbial. Each day they arrived accomplished tasks and showed me the progress. Naturally when fears came up for me Allan was great at putting my mind at ease. This team went above and beyond to reassure me that they were here to help and if anything happened to interfere with their progress that they would take care of it and that’s exactly what they did. When a pipe needed repair they fixed it. When a little leak arose they stopped it. All while maintaining positivity and reassurance. I would 10 out of 10 recommend them to anyone going through water damages. Kindness and patience go such a long way. What a relief to know that me and my family are in great hands!

Maritza Velez

I want to extend a heartfelt thanks to Jason, Kayla, Nate, Ashley, and team for their professionalism, attention, and assistance through what was otherwise a very overwhelming time. From the moment I called ServPro, I felt listened to and taken care of. Jason and Kayla were both fantastic at walking me through the process and answering all of my many questions. And Nate and Ashley did a fantastic job removing the water logged parts of my house and executed it with efficiency and professionalism. I couldn't have asked for a better team to help me through this crazy experience!

Grace Swinnerton

I want to say thank you to the following crew Nate, Davion, Leon, Juan. The manager Jason was very professional and excellent to work with. All of the guys did a great job and they were very informative on everything they did. Thank you again. For a hospital they were very professional and will to do anything we asked so there was no patients at risk. Thank you all Kathy

Jason was very professional when he came to do our inspection. Made sure everything was up to par. Need to have him come by again

Kevin Ferraro

Let me start off by saying Pro Serve called me the same day that I reported the incident to my Insurance Company. Serve Pro came out the very next day and started work immediately. Everyone that came by my house was really nice and very professional. But I must say that there was one person who really worked so hard to complete the cleanup and was so pleasant to deal with. I feel she went above and beyond her job duties.. When 2 other men said that they couldn’t remove the tile floor or needed a special tool in order to remove it. Yet Audrey busted her ass and had it removed that following day. Audrey constantly communicated with me as to what the next steps or times of arrival and when she as done for the day. Thank you Serve Pro And a special thanks to Audrey!!!

Servpro did such a great job! I am the property manager for The Salvation Army and worked with construction manager, Jaime Melfi who handled our property loss. I appreciated his professionalism and expertise throughout this process.

Cynthia Delperuto

Recently, a project manager came out to look at an issue I'm having at home. I received some of the best customer service I've had in a long time! He was extremely helpful and polite and was able to answer all of my questions. Great experience.

About Us

Invigorated by new ownership in 2020, SERVPRO of East Onondaga County anticipates many years of serving the Greater Syracuse area and the towns, villages, and hamlets to the east. Residential and business property owners in the region benefited from the expertise of SERVPRO’s highly qualified managers and technicians since 1993. They will enjoy continuity as familiar individuals remain in key positions under fresh leadership.

The eastern area of Onondaga county historically served as a significant trade and travel crossroads for more than the past two hundred years. Turnpikes based on the European model and often operated as toll roads joined by canals proved essential to move people and goods from the Atlantic coast into the interior. Many of the municipalities east of Syracuse were settled and incorporated long before the city, with towns like Manlius on the Cherry Valley Turnpike and Seneca Turnpikes considered important trade centers in the late 1700s. Once the Erie Canal and branch waterways began construction after 1817, places like Fayetteville gained prominence.

Railways supplanted the turnpikes and canals, and modern Syracuse, risen from former swampland, now is at the intersection of Interstates 81 and 90, with an airport that is a hub in the area. The growth and change of the past continue in Eastern Onondaga county. Our owner Timothy Skov is committed to supporting home and business owners in our dynamic region of New York State when disaster strikes.

What sets SERVPRO of Eastern Onondaga apart from other property damage recovery companies? Two distinct yet interrelated investments are critical to our provision of premier services to residential and commercial customers:

Manager and Technician Training and Certification

SERVPRO of Eastern Onondaga project leads and workers complete training from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) to ensure adherence to best practices and resulting in successful outcomes.

Purchase and Upgrade of Proven and Innovative Disaster Recovery Equipment

We continuously seek out cutting edge products, tools, and technologies to enable our crews to deliver fast and efficient mitigation, remediation, and restoration of water, fire, storm, mold, and biohazard damage.
