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.

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

I really can't say enough good things about this company. My parents house had a pipe break in the kitchen which ruined the kitchen floor, cabinets, part of the ceiling collapsed in the basement, ruined carpet in basement & the list goes on. Unfortunately all this happened back in June when everyone else was having water damage also. It was a long process but I can't Thank Ryan, Lathe & the employees of SERVPRO & Boji Builders for getting the house back to square one!!

We want to thank SERVPRO Spencer for taking such good care of us when our basement flooded last Spring. They were here right away to help us extract the water and then worked tirelessly to get us back up and running again. Their team of Mike and Matt were very professional and their attention to detail was much appreciated. We also hired them to replace our living room ceiling. Thankfully Mike and Matt did that job too and truly cared about each and every detail and it turned out beautifully. They were a joy to have around and we were extremely pleased with all aspects of the jobs they did for us. We would highly recommend SERVPRO of Spencer!

SERVPRO fixed some water damage at my work back in Dec 2019. They did a wonderful job and were excellent at answering questions we had about things.

I have used SERVPRO for many years to clean carpets in my rentals as well as my own home and they have always done an excellent job, it is appreciated! January of 2019 I had a water line burst in a rental home. They came as soon as I called to clean up and also proceeded to handle the demolition and reconstruct all the damaged areas. Hired the subs for me as well. Also worked well with my insurance adjuster. It was as close to hands off as it could be. Did an excellent job and in a timely manner.
