ServPro over charged for thousands of dollars worth of work they knew would never need to be performed. They double billed for the same work in many of the rooms. When the over charges were caught they reissued a second estimate with the same over charges and double billing. For example who is going to pay thousands of dollars for someone to clean newly textured ceilings, freshly primed and painted walls and trim? They knew of this well in advance and refused to submit to me an estimate prior to billing my insurance company.
The over charges explains why an estimate was never presented to me. ServPro moved my property out of my home and into their storage facility. They are supposed to do an inventory log of every item they take out of your home. They are supposed to unpack and clean everything they take to their facility and re pack everything once it has been cleaned. This location never did any such thing. They have broken, destroyed and or lost several thousands of dollars worth of my property. When my home was completely remodeled they moved everything back to my residence. Unloaded it into my house and garage and then left me to unpack everything.
The ServPro Logo is 'Like it never even happened'. When they moved things back into my home they damaged my newly remodeled home as well. To date they have destroyed, damaged or lost thousands of dollars worth of my property. ServPro Corporate has been contacted on many occasions and they refuse to return any of my calls. Exactly like the local ServPro Franchise that has caused all of this. When ServPro employees moved some of my belongings into my home they stole items they found they liked. The local police department has been called and hopefully an arrest will be performed.
To date I am out over $30, 000.00 in damages and my insurance company is battling with them for the roughly $9, 000.00 that ServPro intentionally over charged them for. It is very sad when a company that is suppose to be their for customers when they are dealing with a fire, flood or any other crisis and the customer finds out they were taken advantage of when they were very vulnerable. This is very pathetic; I guess the ServPro logo is correct. ServPro refuses to return calls and acts like 'It Never Even Happend'.
Another battle I am fighting is the fact they refuse to turn this over to their insurer, rumor has it that this location does not have insurance. If that is the case then who regulates these companies to make certain customers are protected. One last thing, in addition to all of the above they still have thousands of dollars worth of my property and refuse to return it. Please be very cautious and exhaust all options before you ever consider letting this company step foot on your property.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

Servpro is an independently owned franchise. I would not discard Servpro altogether. You should file a complaint with the corporate office for that particular franchise.
I agree with the comment made by "eksb" Servpro is an independently owned franchise. I would not discard Servpro altogether. You should file a complaint with the corporate office for that particular franchise."
They are all independently owned, you should not discriminate. Report that franchise to their corporate office and they will correct it. Sorry for your loss.
Insurance companies are to blame if poor service. Servpro and other Emergency service companies can only do what they are payed for!
I have been on four jobs where i have personally heard phone conversations where Work was already done! Insurance companies cut the totals down to below minimum wage. Forcing Servpro to hire unskilled farm hands and field pickers to do work. The servpro workers I have met were very professional and used only unskilled labor for moving debrea and watching equipment if required on the job. If the insurance companies payed properly air filters could be changed after demolition also for drying areas for 3 days to 2 weeks.
Home owners should not be exposed to breathing fine particles of mold, carcinogens and pesticides in walls and wet floors!
The Home Owner should be after the Insurance Company not the people trying to do a good job!
E.H.R.
i have not mentioned any insurance companies in fairness to the companies that do good work.
When you signed the Servpro contract it said you were in reciept of an estimate. Seems to me like a you problem if you signed and didn't recieve an estimate. Servpro of Ocala did over $127, 000 worth of work at my house and it truly is "like it never even happened". Read before you sign.
I totally agree. I just got a quote for mold in an attic on a home i am going to purchase. They charged me $ 160.00 to tell me it is condinsation. (how ever you spell it). The man couldn't even speak proper english. He kept saying "ah, ah, its ah on the wood in ah, ah, few spots." Then I asked, " Does the bathroom vent go into the attic or does it go outside?" He said, "ah I don't know do you ah, want me to look again?" WHAT? Then I got a quote for ... get this... $2, 200.65! For a few spots of mold in the attic? The guy who came to check the mold had a latter the size for a kid on a playground! Servpro is aweful. Plus when I called back to get my quote twice they were very rude on the phone. I am going to try and get my $160.00 back. I am writing to their corp. office.
Please be careful using servpro.
I completely agree. Icontacted ServPro Corporate regarding the cleanup of a biohazard blood. I was referred to the Dubuque, IA and was told I would receive a call from them within an hour. No call... I called back and asked to be referred to another franchise. Again, no call... I called again to corporate to see who else and was put on hold and then disconnected. I agree with the statement the franchises are independently owned but if ServPro is allowing these people to become franchisees, it doesn't speak well for the company as a whole. Nor does their handling of my subsequent call to report a problem. Stay away.
i have used serpro in the past...and they done ok...then this past weekend when i callled for their services, they were out of drying equipment, which i understood due to the flooding in the area, but they told me that some would be arriving the next day, so ni patiently waited, then i called them again and they said they had the drying equipment and would see me in 1 to 2 hours...well its 2 days later and i still have not seen or heard from them...dont ever trust the servpro in beckley, wv. the owner will tell you what you want to hear just to get you off his back...and i know that from personal experience especially since i use to work for the moody man...
Watch out for So-called "screened" Employees who rip you off from little things to big! You're in a bad way; so you don't even notice!
I was an employee (SADLY) for them, but was actually one of the Honest ones, but heard other things and later confessions from ex-employees that I worked with.
Remember this! ALWAYS be on gaurd when ANY of your items are where YOU are not!
I'm a Christian and always thought of the "what if this was me/mine", but worked with a hell-bent bunch AND Employer!
That's funny my boyfriend had really expensive brand new sneakers missing I thought he was being upsurd until reading all of this.
FL... Servpro user big regret
Serv Pro is a joke! They want to charge outrageous prices for what little work is actually done.
They do not have "Professional Cleaners", they hire Temp People. I'm glad a temp person gets to work, but come on...!
They change plans as they go...
They all of a sudden, "don't handle that anymore, you'll have to get the fire dept. to give you new smoke detectors..." (I have an email to prove this one...)
They damaged things that they don't care. The owner stated to just charge our ins. because they will pay.
They don't want to hear what happened or didn't happened while their people were on the job site
They never checked on the job performed or their people.
Complained because they had to come to our home last week. (took them since August of 2010) and I told the owner that if she didn't want to be here and do her job, there is the F'n door!
it's gonna get even nastier...I hate it for them...
Servpro of Johnson City TN doesn't know what mold is if it slapped them in the face. They charged me a fortune to when i asked them to take care of a mold issue in my basement. Only to find out they didn't even take care the problem and I had to get another company to come out and do the job right. Then they refused to offer a partial refund.
For those that said to contact their corporate office, for what? Try to get it resolved through them, just try it! Number 1, they don't get involved, that's why they state that each franchise is "INDEPENDENTLY OWNED AND OPERATED"! Meaning, they won't get involved in a price dispute, they won't get involved in a quality dispute and they won't get involved in a legal dispute. Sure they might make a call to the franchise and say, "what's going on with Ms Jones and her table", but they won't get involved if the franchise says that it's not their fault. Here's an idea that WILL work! BY LAW, you can have the insurance check made out to you even if you signed a work agreement. Remember the insurance company has a contract with you NOT the company. NOW with the check you'll get a response.
We're still having issues over items that were damaged in our home due to the "professional" ServPro people that was in our home. They keep telling us to just turn it into our insurance adjuster. Thing is, ServPro is responsible for their damages and is suppose to turn damages by their staff onto their insurance.
All I can state is, what a joke this company has been since day 1. Never again will I allow ServPro in or near my home.
ServPro is a joke...I would never ever reccommend them to anyone. They did work to my house without my approval, took items and threw them out with out my permission. I only wanted a quote...they sent an outragous bill, told me not to worry about it as my insurance will pay it. Then try to complain to the owner/manager and he never returns phone calls, totally unprofessional. How does a company like this stay in business?
We know exactly how you feel. Rather strange they never get our calls or messages, but only call us upon wanting money...
WOW, are any of these issues in Florida? Because this sounds SO much like a local ServPro here..
Mine is in Clemmons, N.C. Have been dealing with this mess since May of 2010. Still not completed and they're wanting to threaten lawsuit...I'm like, bring it on!
I am concerned that serv pro in upstate new york came in and pulled the carpet and cut the wall out up two feet but in carthage missouri franchise wouldn't even talk about that all they wanted to do was extract water and run some fans and dehumidifers for 4 days saying this will get the water and moisture from under the carpet pad yet i still have a smell of mildew and mold in the house... i would not recomend them to clean pee off a gravel road
After numerous requests for call - back ; regarding invoice # 2594291 & # 2876627, requests are totally ingnored... If this company is a viable & active service, I would like to be contacted as soon as possible, one way or the other.. Perhaps the better business of Greator Hartford should be advised. HELP !
This must be how ServPro operates. We had the same issues, smells of insurance fraud! Still battling after 3 years. How can a company like this still be in business? We did complain to Corporate and got no satisfaction.
I agree with most comments, however, even though most Serv Pro's are from a franchise, it has done no good what so ever to report anything to any cooperate office as in deaf ears hear no tales. It's been well over a year now, and we're still awaiting a closure in our dealings with Serv Pro. To date, we've been threatened because no settlement has been made, but we're not the ones that contacted them to begin with, our Insurance did, to which, they later dropped Serv Pro...hmmmm...
They threatened us, after coming into our home demanding a settlement and we gave them a rebuttle to which they didn't like. We're still trying to locate and replace items that were damaged during Serv Pros time in our house.
One of the things that gets me is, why did we have to hire, out of pocket, so many other people to perform a lot of the work that Serv Pro was suppose to do? (by their own contract)
When you purchase a household item from a major building contractor (home depot) and they agree to install the item (microwave) for a fee, when a Serpro truck shows up with the item, make sure you up your home owners insurance! Serpro Logistics of who know where show up to install it, couldn't speak English, drilled into the wall hitting a freon line. said it was my fault cause I didn't tell them, I have to call the air conditioner company to repair, I have to call the drywaller to fix hole in wall caused by air conditioner company, wife has to cleanup mess and buy paint and paint wall where ... just who is responsible in this country? There is no consumer agency to monitor. I now have to dip into 401K account. My $49 to install turned into a nightmare and about $2000 in fees. Home Depots that use Serpro Logistics for their installation service should be investigated before you buy. Buy from Sears or Lowes as they stand behind their installers.
Since May of 2010, we are still trying to get things worked out with Serv-Pro. Thing is, with the damage done while they were here and things that we had to hire outside people to come in and do that Serv-Pro didn't do, is ridiculous! So, now they're taking us to court over what is "owed" to them. Well, I want to know who is responsible for damages to house and belongings? Serv-Pro stated and contract states that they have insurance coverage for such mishaps, but refused to use telling us that our home owners insurance will cover our loss. BS! It's a back and forth thing between the two! And not one time did any Serv-Pro "in charge" person come into our home to inspect a thing that any of their "professionals" did. Bottom line is, we did the packing and moving all but for a few larger pieces, we cleaned in behind them, we hired others to come in and work on what they were suppose to do and are still having to deal with things. If this is "Like it never Happened", then I'd hate to see what looked like if it DID'NT happen!
I had the same thing happen to me from these people only worse, they never took inventory of stuff removed from house, they stole stuff, broke stuff, overcharged big time, didnt do work they got paid to do, did horrible work and they made us put our belongings in storage garages we had to rent and are still renting because we still cant move into our house because we got to finish and fix the work that they did! i can go on for hours about these cons

WHAT A HORRIBLE COMPANY! TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AND STEAL FROM FAMILIES THAT ARE ALREADY DEALING WITH TERRIBLE STRESS, POSSIBLY EVEN INJURIES OR DEATH RELATED TO THE FIRE! To bigdaddyricc and servprohater321 and all the rest of you victims of this fraud: we learned the very hard way-even after 'hiring' an independent 'public adjuster', servpro still got paid for all the work they never did, damages they caused, grief, arguments, battles, there must be something we can do about these criminals/liars/thieves! It would take two books to tell our BS story. Regrets, regrets...A bunch of CROOKS! TO SAY THE LEAST! Should have checked out this site and others but everything was knocked out due to fire, so no internet or computer. Our Anger grows each day we are left trying to clean up their mess. And State Farm recommended them, on their Preferred Provider Vendor List! And no help from State Farm either...It is no comfort to know that many of you have been cheated, scammed, lied to and stolen from too. There has to be some government agency we should report these thieves to. Let me know if you think of anything. I will do my research.
This is the worst company and I cannot understand why on earth they are still in business. They have ripped off so many, including my parents. There isn't enough space here to tell you the awful experience they endured. My father, going blind - 90 years old allowed the ### company into his home. Your worst nightmare would be to have them in your home. DO NOT TRUST YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY TO SEND THEM TO YOUR HOME! They weasel out of it all - including Servpro. My dad's insurance company had a contract with this scummy outfit. He didn't know the company existed. I blame them both - insurance and servpro.
We have not been renewing this service and continue to receive bills. The invoice number that we just received is #[protected] for the amount of $1, 145.00. Please contact me and let me know how to resolve this issue.
Thank you.

On 2/20/2023 at about 6:15 p.m., in the parking lot of a Vons in Lakewood Calif, someone sitting in the passenger seat in one of your ServPro trucks #9 was making inappropriate sexual harassment remarks to women in the parking lot. The individual appeared to be drunk and was smoking a cigarette.
I observed one of your driver's parked in the Walmart parking lot in Lenoir nc 28645. He parked his truck to take up 4 parking spots at one time. The truck number is 720. This is very unprofessional.
