Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

The first question on a sewage backup is what stays and what goes, and the answer is less negotiable than people expect.

What comes out. Carpet and pad that took contaminated water. Drywall from the waterline down, typically with a margin above it. Insulation. Particleboard and laminate. Ductwork insulation if contamination reached the system. These are porous, they absorbed Category 3 water carrying bacteria and pathogens, and no drying or disinfecting process makes them safe again.

What can usually be saved. Structural framing, concrete, tile and properly sealed hard surfaces, and solid wood, provided they are cleaned, treated, and dried under proper containment.

What depends. Hardwood flooring, cabinetry, and subfloor come down to how long the water sat and how deep it penetrated.

SERVPRO of Tuscaloosa contains the affected area first so contamination does not spread through the structure or into the HVAC system, then removes and disposes of affected materials under applicable handling requirements. Remaining surfaces are cleaned, treated with antimicrobial products, dried, and verified before rebuilding begins.

Time drives all of it. Bacterial growth starts within hours and the removal list grows every day the material stays wet.

We document the full scope for your insurance carrier, including what was removed and why.

What To Do When Sewage Damage Happens

A sewage emergency is both unexpected and overwhelming.

Planning for a sewage emergency is probably the last thing on any homeowner’s mind. However, sewage damage can happen to anyone, in any home, at any time.

Knowing what to do in those first few moments can help protect your home and health. Here are some recommended steps from SERVPRO.

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.

What did not change with the acquisition is the team. The technicians and project managers Tuscaloosa customers have worked with for years are the same people on the job today, now backed by the equipment, staffing, and large loss capacity of a multi location franchise group.
