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

Our kids were bathing and the tub overflowed on the second floor bathroom.  We didn't know how bad the damage was.  SERVPRO of Van Nuys South came out quickly and helped to get our lives back to normal.

SERVPRO of Van Nuys South recently assisted with emergency clean-up work when a pipe in the ceiling of our home burst. They cleaned up debris and brought in the necessary humidifiers and drying fans. They kept in contact on a daily basis and visited daily to check on the progress. Their activities were carried out with the highest degree of professionalism and with the minimum interference in the daily lives of the occupants. I can recommend SERVPRO of Van Nuys South without hesitation if your home suffers a similar unfortunate incident.
