Steps in Our Sewage Damage Restoration Process

Sewage Removal & Contamination Control

We clean up sewage spills and biohazards using specialized equipment and training, thoroughly and safely from start to finish.

Restoration

In the last phase, SERVPRO repairs any structural damage and returns your property to its previous condition. Before the space is cleared for re-entry, we’ll conduct a final inspection to make sure the area is safe, clean, and ready for you to return.

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.

Commercial Sewage Cleanup

Sewage damage in commercial buildings can be disruptive. But with commercial sewage cleanup and biohazard restoration from SERVPRO, it doesn’t always require an extended shutdown. We act quickly to remove contaminated water, sanitize the space, and get your business back to safe operations.

We respond 24/7 with industrial-grade equipment and certified protocols. If possible, we will isolate problem areas so your operations can continue with minimal interruption.

From overflowing toilets to large-scale black water flooding, we’ve seen it all. We’re the team to make things right again.

Timely and prompt emergency service after we came home to find our kitchen had suffered water damage thanks to a burst pipe. Service certainly exceeded my every expectation.

We would like to express our sincere THANKS for a job well done by your employee William Wheeler… As we see it, Will is one of your greatest representative and a true asset to SERVPRO. He was professional at every turn and represented your company with great integrity. His hard work, incredible patience, concern, and ability to work well with your employees and us… were most impressive. In our mind, it went from, “Oh My God”, to ”It’s Going to Be Alright.”

It has been six months since SERVPRO dried our home that was flooded by the December and January rain storms. Your company performed an amazing service in removing the debris and preparing our basement recreation room for repairs. We had extensive drainage systems installed to prevent a reoccurrence of the problem. I hope we don't need your services again, but you will be our first choice if we experience flooding.

About Us

We set up shop here just over a decade ago on the shores of the Peninsula. Back then, our first warehouse was just 2,000 square feet, which sounds like a lot until you fill it with equipment. Our reputation as a premier restoration company for water, fire, mold or storm damage, as well as biohazard and HVAC cleaning, has grown a lot since then.

Today, we are one of the largest SERVPRO franchises in the US. However, we still find time to help with the grocery shopping for some of our elder community members. We contribute to the San Carlos Chamber of Commerce and do our bit for The American Red Cross too. These help our communities in Belmont, San Carlos Foster City to thrive, and we are here to help celebrate it.

From our owner Roy Drake all the way to a technician starting their first day, we are all local to this community. In times of hardship, we stand together. When the devastating San Bruno Gas Pipe explosion of 2010 happened, we were here to help residents and commercial property owners put there lives back together. During that month we cleaned more than 1,000 homes and still found time to collect food and clothing for the victims.

We have not just expanded for the sake of expansion, but to better serve Belmont, San Carlos, Redwood Shores, and Foster City. Our large cleaning facility at the east end of the San Mateo Bridge allows us to get to residents in the East Bay and on the San Francisco Peninsula quicker than we could before. We are one of the few certified biohazard cleanup companies to operate in California. We offer ultrasonic cleaning equipment and other state of the art equipment.

In short, SERVPRO of Belmont/San Carlos is the company you need to carry out restoration work for private and commercial properties here in the Belmont, San Carlos, Foster City and Redwood Shores areas and the surrounding area.
