Me and my husband recently used Servpro-Decatur for some mold removal in our home. Our insurance company had highly recommended them.

Phone calls were rarely returned. When they were supposed to meet us at our home they were late, or didn't show up at all.

They did extreme damage to our home that was unnecessary for mold removal and charged for work that was never completed.

They had removed our laminate floor regardless that there was no damage to it what-so-ever, and "threw it out" but left moldy cabinets and counter top in our home....we are convinced that someone has a new laminate floor (it was taken up very carefully and unsnapped in a way it could be re-used, from the looks of the pieces that remain)

We were told we weren't allowed in the home until their work was completed, and then told when filing the complaint that we should have complained before the work was completed.

When the owner of the company came to review what his "crew" had done, he had absolutely no answers for any of our questions, claiming "He would need to talk to his guy"...Nothing was resolved by complaining to the owner of the company...we will be pursuing a corporate complaint.

Absolutely no indication that our belongings were sealed off as promised so the mold didn't spread to other areas of our home. Our house stinks horribly of the "chemicals" that they used and now all our personal belongings must be cleaned professionally
(ironically after we had the "professional" cleaning crew clean up the mold).

All together approximate damages are around $10,000 or more, after they charged our insurance $9,000 for their "services".

All I have to say is...their motto is the most ironic thing I've ever heard......"Like it never happened"

Our family had to deal with very similar matters, damage to our home after it was completely remodeled, property broken, and when they finally returned our personal property there were many items that missing and or stolen.

They never returned our calls, we even contacted ServPro Corporate and were informed there was nothing they could do. Just like the logo says they act "like it never even happened." Each day we came home we found cigarette butts all over the drive and on our deck. Thankfully, our neighbors keep an eye out, because we were informed that everytime they looked out a ServPro employee was outside smoking and talking on their cell phones. No wonder it took so long for them to do there job. This franchise is a joke! We are filing a complaint to the Better Business Bureau and to the Illinois Attorney General. I noticed on the BBB website there are complaints about this same place.

We are also dealing with being over charged on many things we and our insurance company never asked for. Did you ever get a written estimate if not you may wish to know your rights by going to the Illinois Attorney Generals website like we had to do.

We were informed by our insurance provider to take them to court, perhaps all of us that have had to deal with  similar issues with this company should pull together and put a stop to the way this company practices business. The sad thing is they take advantage of customers when they are the most vulnerable.  

We have dealt with a great burden, a lot of sleepless nights and many, many lies from the ServPro of Decatur. I cannot beleive they would actually steal your flooring, wait a second, yes I can. If you would like to contact me drop me an email at JD042049@yahoo.com. Good luck and God bless!
