Trusted Water Remediation Specialists
Water from the upstairs bathroom is turning up in a light fixture downstairs. A busted pipe has already left an inch of water in the basement, with no sign of stopping. A storm damaged your roof, and now there’s water everywhere. Whether it’s a minor plumbing problem or a major storm, it doesn’t take a lot of water to damage your home.
Let SERVPRO take care of it. With 59+ years of experience, we know what to do when you’re facing a water emergency. And from water removal and structural drying to mold remediation and contents restoration, we’ll make it “Like it never even happened.”
Everything you need to make it "Like it never even happened."
No two water damage experiences are alike. But they all must be addressed immediately to keep the damage from getting worse. At SERVPRO, we’re ready 24/7 with a range of services to address your home’s specific needs.
Water Extraction, Drying & Cleanup
Water spreads fast, soaking into floors, drywall, and places you can't see. Immediate extraction and drying can keep moisture from becoming a bigger problem.
Sewage Damage Cleanup
Sewage backups can cause property damage and exposure to harmful viruses and bacteria. We'll contain, clean, dry, disinfect, and restore contaminated areas.
Whether it’s a pipe burst, a tub left running, or contaminated groundwater, if water’s sitting, it’s doing damage. Address it immediately to prevent further harm.
Inside your home, water can damage furniture, photos, important documents, and more. We offer cleaning, restoration, and secure storage for your belongings.
Unnoticed moisture can lead to toxic mold growth in as little as 24 hours. Immediately locating the water source and removing any mold will prevent further risks.
Many companies stop at water remediation. But SERVPRO offers reconstruction and remodeling services to return your home to its pre-loss condition (or even better).
After any water damage situation, your primary focus should be safety first. Once you’ve verified the house it safe, you’ll want to contact SERVPRO of Buffalo Tonawanda right away. Water damage can spread quickly, into areas of the home you wouldn’t even think would become affected. Water will go underneath floor boards into multiple rooms, wick up walls and affect even the ceiling sometimes. If the water damage occurred on a top floor, water can travel through the ceiling to rooms below and affect multiple floors. Below is a list of safety items to keep in mind while waiting for SERVPRO of Buffalo Tonawanda to arrive.
- Is it safe to stay in the house? - Electrical and "slip and fall" hazards are some of the most prevalent concerns. - Only do activities that are safe for you to perform. - Wet materials can be VERY heavy. Be careful!

What Our Customers Are Saying
Don't just take it from us. Let our customers tell you about their SERVPRO experiences.
In the latter part of July, we had a water problem caused by the upstairs tenant. We called Servpro for service. We immediately received an appointment and the service person was on time. I explained what happened and he told me step by step how he was going to resolve our issue. The mess was minimum and he cleaned up immediately after setting up his equipment. Three days later, another person came out to check on the progress and said we needed one more day to dry out the floor. The next day we received a call, Servpro wanted to check the progress, I gave a time, and they were sitting outside waiting for the appointed time. The gentlemen were polite and professional. If you want a company that is true to their word, Servpro is the way to go. Thank you Servpro, a job well done.

Shannon Jeffs
I called ServPro for an emergency roof repair recently and talked to a woman named Alison on the phone who was incredibly kind and helpful! Since it was closing time around the end of the day she advised that the soonest someone could arrive was the following day (which was expected). She told me she would work her hardest to squeeze me in an already-packed day with one of her estimators. She called me back the following morning to advise what time the estimator could be there based on his route and followed up again later in the day via phone call. We ended up using another local roofer to help us but Alison was so professional, sweet, helpful, and very communicative! If we ever need contractor services in WNY, I will happily call ServPro back just because the customer service was phenomenal. Thank you Alison!

John and Matt came out to do some work for us after we experienced some flooding. They were very friendly and professional. They made sure to clearly explain every step to us without ever making us feel like they were talking down to us. They were very patient and took the time to answer any questions we had. They were very flexible around our schedule. They cleaned up every bit of mess and debris from their job. We were very impressed with the services provided and would absolutely use them in the future or recommend them to a friend or family member.

I came home from work to find my basement full of water. I called Servpro and they referred me to a plumber who replaced my sump pump. After it was fixed, Servpro arrived and explained that the carpet/pad had to come out. They explained they were follow the guidelines because there is bacteria and containments in the water that could make you get sick. My antique furniture left several stains on the carpet. Servpro used the utmost care and moved the furniture into a dry location. The team was very caring, professional and provided amazing service. Very satisfied and felt safe.

How to clean up water damage in a home?
When a water emergency occurs in your home or business, it’s only natural to want to take action immediately. Below are some preliminary steps you can take before we arrive, but only attempt what you can do safely.
Shut off the water source, if possible. If you’re not sure where the water is coming from, we’ll inspect and handle the situation as soon as we arrive. If you don’t know how to shut off the water, contact a plumber to help.
Remove excess water by mopping, blotting, or wiping. This could include flooring and hard-surface furniture with standing water on it. Do not use your household vacuum to remove water, since it could cause damage to the vacuum or be unsafe.
Protect carpet, rugs, drapes, and upholstered items from further damage. Place aluminum foil or parchment paper between furniture and wet carpet or rugs. Remove books, magazines, or other colored items from carpets and rugs. Hang draperies up with coated hangers to avoid contact with wet floors. Remove pillows or cushions from wet upholstered items.
Avoid using electric or electronic items that have come into contact with water. This may include items such as light fixtures, ceiling fans, televisions, or appliances. If there is a possibility that someone else on the property may turn on an electric item that has come in contact with water, consider turning off the power to individual circuits within the power distribution panel of the property.
What is the typical cost for water damage restoration?
The cost of a water loss will vary greatly depending on the severity of the situation.
What is water damage restoration?
When water intrudes into a home or business, water damage restoration may be required. Water damage restoration is the professional process of removing unwanted water, drying and cleaning the structure and/or contents, and returning the property to its pre-loss condition. This is completed by professional technicians who are certified to follow industry standards using the proper methods and tools.
Is it safe to stay in a flooded home?
It may not be safe to stay in a flooded home or business. If you come into contact with or ingest flood water, it can make you sick if the water is contaminated. Standing water inside a structure that was inhabited also poses an electrocution risk, as appliances and electrical outlets can continue to be live and energized.
How do you restore water damage?
We’ll inspect your home or business and discuss with you the severity of the damage and our plan for helping return your property to pre-loss condition. We’ll then work to remove the water that shouldn’t be there using pumps and water-extracting tools. Materials that cannot be restored may be removed. Once the excess water is gone, we use dehumidifiers and other specialized drying equipment to help return the area to pre-loss condition. The drying process is then continually monitored. We clean and deodorize restorable contents and areas of the structure that need attention. This handy guide explains our water damage restoration process in detail.
How long does it take to dry out water damage?
Drying out a structure depends on the severity of the water damage that occurred and the type of structure, with an average situation taking 3–5 days. This can vary greatly though, depending on the magnitude of damage, amount of contents affected, any demolition that may be required, and the presence of any hazardous materials.
Returning a home or business to its pre-loss moisture levels is a closely monitored process, with our professionals making adjustments to equipment to help ensure the area is recovering as quickly and safely as possible.
Who to call for water damage?
A local SERVPRO is nearby and available now to respond to your water damage emergency right away. Our technicians are on call 24/7 with emergency services available immediately. Call 1-800-SERVPRO to reach a local SERVPRO, or find a SERVPRO location directly with our locator tool.
Who to call for water damage in ceiling?
It can be alarming to see a bubble growing in your ceiling and on the verge of bursting. SERVPRO can assist with this startling emergency right away, by calling 1-800-SERVPRO. You can also reach a local SERVPRO directly with our locator tool.
If possible, locate the source of the leak. If it’s being caused by an internal plumbing water source, turn off the water to that area, if you’re comfortable doing so and it can be done safely.
Is water damage dangerous?
Water damage can be a serious situation. Water flowing through your home or business can carry with it any contaminants that it has come into contact with. Electrical hazards are common when water damage has occurred, so do not enter the area until it’s deemed safe.
Flood waters or contaminated water can also be a danger to anyone who comes into contact with it. It can be difficult to pinpoint what the water contains. It could have chemicals, dirt, or bacteria within it. Additionally, depending on the severity of the water event, structural damage to the property could occur. Water damage may also make the area ripe for mold and mildew, which presents a danger to any occupants, as well.
Is my insurance going to cover this water damage to my home?
Many homeowner insurance policies do provide some level of coverage in a water damage situation, but you will need to contact your agent for details about your policy. The source of the water damage is important when dealing with insurance. Some flooding related to weather events requires special insurance available through the National Flood Insurance Program. We make insurance claims easier, with fewer headaches for you. We handle the details and coordinate any paperwork, so you can focus on moving forward.
Many personal items were damaged by water. Can SERVPRO help?
When water damage occurs, it’s not just the structure of your home that’s affected, but your personal belongings, too. Your family furniture, clothing, keepsakes, and other items are sometimes damaged during a flood or water damage emergency.
SERVPRO specializes in restoring these special items with our Packout & Contents Restoration services, as many cannot be replaced. We’ll assess your content to determine what items can be successfully restored. We can use several different methods to accomplish this:
Dry cleaning – Used for light residue or to pre-clean prior to wet cleaning.
Wet cleaning – Effective at removing moderate to heavy soiling.
Spray and wipe – For items that can’t withstand wet cleaning.
Foam cleaning – Used for upholstery fabrics that might shrink or bleed if wet cleaned.
Abrasive cleaning – Involves agitation of the surface being cleaned.
Immersion cleaning – The item is dipped into a cleaning product bath.
Additionally, we have document restoration services that may be able to save your valuable documents, including photographs.
Whatever it Takes to Make it “Like It Never Even Happened.”
We offer a number of complementary services to ensure the success of your water damage restoration project.
