Blackwater contamination is nothing to be playing with. SERVPRO techs use the latest equipment and technology for all storm damage restoration jobs.

There are many types of cleaning and restoration needed in damaged Knoxville properties. 

Flooding is one of the most devastating conditions that homes and businesses can endure, making it vital for restoration professionals to respond immediately to help. We have a fast mobilization for storm damage situations, allowing for mitigation to start as soon as possible.

Muck-Out Cleaning Services

One of the first steps in cleaning up flood damage in Knoxville homes is removing debris, and solid matter carried in with the intruding water. Muck-out cleaning services target mud and debris throughout the property, which can be instrumental in reducing pathogenic threats and contaminants for faster restoration and cleaning to come.

Content Cleaning and Restoration

One of the areas where cleanup is needed most is with the exposed and damaged contents in the house. Protecting the items that matter most to your family often involves inspections and assessments to determine the viability of restoration. Often, off-site cleaning and recovery are needed at our nearby SERVPRO facility. Here, your personal belongings can benefit from:

• Surface cleaning
• Drying
• Deodorization
• Safe storage

Surface Cleaning to Disinfect and Restore Property 

Cleaning surfaces exposed to natural floodwater is critical to overcoming the damage that flooding can do in the house. Contamination is a perceived threat with all blackwater incidents, making it vital for disinfection processes to begin as soon as they can. We have multiple cleaning agents and sporicidal products to limit bacterial and mold development.
