Steps in Our Sewage Damage Restoration Process

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.

What our
customers are saying

This past weekend, an AC repairman discovered a leaking pipe under my house. My home warranty company sent out a plumber who turned out to be one of the rudest and laziest people I've ever encountered. He claimed there was "a lake of water filled with flies" under my house, refused to go under my house to find the leaking pipe, let alone fix it, and told me I needed to go buy a bag of lyme and crawl under the house and throw it everywhere myself. Because he claimed the underside of my house was filled with water and unsanitary, the home warranty company told me I had to remediate the standing water under the house before they would have a plumber back out. I then called SERVPRO. I am very familiar with their company through my line of work. They sent Oscar and another gentleman whose name I am forgetting (it may of been Gerald, I feel terrible for not remembering.) Almost instantly they found that there was no standing water under my house, no flies, and the structure of the underside of the house was also dry (I have a raised foundation.) Not only this, they identified where the leak was and confirmed the lazy plumber from only three hours prior could have gone under the house and fixed the pipe. Oscar also took photos of the pipe and emailed them to me so I could show my next plumber and the home warranty company. Having them come out to my house and tell me the truth of the matter was such a huge relief for me, and it was such a pleasure to have such professional gentlemen on a service call. Should I ever need help with remediation again, SERVPRO will be the first call I make.

We had a roof leak in our home which caused water damage in a few rooms when it rained. The technicians were friendly and explained the process of what they were going to do well.

The wind knocked a tree down which landed our roof. SERVPRO helped coordinate a tree removal company to take care of the tree. Immediately after SERVPRO put on a roof tarp to make sure the rain wouldn't damage inside the home.

The first time it rained this winter our house had water damage. Apparently our roof had a leak in it and we didn't know until it started raining hard. SERVPRO helped put on a roof tarp to prevent further water damage from happening, which was our biggest concern.

We recently had a water damage in our home from our roof being damaged. A tree had fallen down, causing damage to our roof, and then the rain caused water damage in our living room and kitchen. SERVPRO was great and we will recommend them to everyone.

We had ac leaking issues and these guys were recommended to get rid of the mold/decay for our walls. So far they are super nice and doing a great job! We had to reschedule due to issues with our schedule and they were very understanding.

Today was the first day and they did a great job of taking the cabinets off and opening up the wall. They taped/plastic-ed/boxed up everything and have been very thorough and professional. Ill update the review once they are done, but so far so good!
