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.

What our
customers are saying

Originally we had hired PaulDavis but they wanted to charge us too much money so we ended up finding SERVPRO of Lakeland and could not be happier. Not only did they charge half the price but they were much more professional and helpful throughout the experience. Mike, Shawn, Jessie, and Jake were all very nice and explained everything throughout, while they did great work. Would definitely recommend SERVPRO of Lakeland to anyone.

Robert, Richie & Matt just to name a few.... This is a force to be reckoned with!!!! They should be called "the Dream Team"!! Our facility will never be able to thank you enough for coming to our rescue. Within just a matter of a few hours of my initial call to SERVPRO of Lakeland last Sunday morning, there were "angels" all over the place. I'm forever grateful for the services of SERVPRO of Lakeland!!!

The SERVPRO of Lakeland team was so courteous in drying my flooded house and everything was cleaned up so neatly.

SERVPRO of Lakeland was on the site within an hour of my call that I had water damage to my home due to a water line break. They kept me informed of each step they were taking and a time frame for completion. The job had more extensive damage than originally thought and SERVPRO of Lakeland took care of it. They referred me to others that could help also. I would have no qualms about recommending them to anyone who needed help.

We had a bad water leak with water pouring thru the downstairs ceiling. SERVPRO showed up, immediately took control, and mitigated a lot of damage.The manager came by at least 4 times to reassess the project and damage. He was very friendly, professional and knew his business. He gave great advice about the need and nature of repairs. Bottom line, DON'T CALL ANYONE ELSE!

Unfortunately, I have had to use Lakelands SERVPRO on a few occasions. Fortunately since I am the Risk Manager for a firm, we have developed a long standing relationship with the SERVPRO team. I highly recommend using their service. They are extremely prompt in response and very detailed in making sure the customer is taken care of. Their knowledge and even their equipment is top notch. I would use them in any personal issue I may ever face.

Jessie, Jake and Zach did an outstanding job. Jessie was there an hour after our call. Jessie set up the fans and dehumidifiers, explained everything he was doing. Came everyday for five days checking on the results of the water damage and added fans when necessary. We were extremely impressed and satisfied by the professionalism of the guys that were involved. We would highly recommend SERVPRO of Lakeland. Thanks for a job well done
