Steps in Our Sewage Damage Restoration Process

Sewage Removal & Contamination Control

Sewage backup emergencies carry viruses and bacteria that cause serious illnesses. Our SERVPRO professionals will address immediate hazards and stabilize the affected area. We clean up sewage spills and biohazards using specialized equipment and training, thoroughly and safely from start to finish.

Sanitization and Deodorization

Using our meticulous state-of-the-art protocols, our team of experts ensures that your home or building is safe and thoroughly clean. After sanitization, advanced equipment helps us find and eliminate any hidden moisture, so you know your structure is dry.

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.

Had some water damage in our townhouse.  SERVPRO of Burbank was prompt, knowledgeable and easy to work with.  They showed up when they said they would and they did a good job.  They even had to remove some baseboard molding to see if the water had seeped behind and took great care in removing it so it could be replaced.  Hopefully, we won't have need for their services anytime soon, but if we do, we won't hesitate to call.

We had a leak coming down from upper unit and SERVPRO of Burbank come out to repair the damages.  Esdras came multiple times to check the equipment and moisture level and he was always on time and very professional. I would highly recommend SERVPRO of Burbank to all my friends and family!! Amazing work! Amazing service! Thank you so much!

Since the first day SERVPRO of Burbank came out for our water damage, we have had nothing but amazing service. 

With Oscar who came the first day day assessing the damage. Esdras and Cesar came the last couple of days to remove all the damage, clean up etc. Answering all of our questions, telling us what was found and what we have to do next, I would highly recommend using this company. 

With all the concerns I had on my end to deal with to make my home safe for my family, SERVPRO took most of the concerns off my plate. Our house is clean again and all within a week!

Thank you SERVPRO and big thank you to Esdras and Cesar!!!

Had an amazing experience with SERVPRO. Patrick, Gage, John M, and John Wayne made us feel comfortable with everything given the circumstances. The team was incredibly professional, and always cleaned up after themselves. Very thankful they came to help dry out our leak!

Our master bathroom flooded and water poured down through the floor into the kitchen below. Gage from SERVPRO came out the same day and inspected the damage. He was able to start work on the demolition and drying out that same day. Gage was on time and answered all our questions and was very polite and professional.
Thanks Gage.

Table are turned on me!  SERVPRO of Burbank is one of my customer and now I am one of theirs, no fun!  We installed Pex in our home 6 years ago and a connection in the attic from the Pex to Cooper failed and leaked, mind you at midnight on a weekend of course.  My insurance company was great and offered me options and my adjuster has worked with SERVPRO of Burbank many times, so I said sure.  They were great from the get go and scheduled me in right away.  The father and son team of Dennis and Dominic came out and hooked up my two dryers and Dehu and I moved to the sofa for a few days.  Everyday they were very accommodating in meeting me in the afternoon to check my reading on the Dehu.  SERVPRO of Burbank i also cut out the drywall to dry out the attic space and when finished they sealed it temporarily till Spangler and Sons could come out and repair the ceiling.  SERVPRO also contacted the Envirocheck for me to set up air testing for Asbestos.  Everything was handle very well and I would recommend SERVPRO of Burbank to anyone dealing with water damage.

Had the unfortunate experience of TWO plumbing leaks in the span of two weeks.  Both times, Jesse and Gage came out and handled not only the water detection and mitigation but also did a wonderful job reassuring my wife (and me) that they would work with our insurance company in a thorough and ethical manner.  Could not recommend SERVPRO of Burbank and Jesse and Gage any stronger.  Thanks so much for making an awful situation a bit more tolerable.
