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.

What our
customers are saying

I cannot even tell where the damage happened, and it used to be everywhere. The team did a great job.

The damage to the house allowed more damage to the inside. Thanks to your emergency services, you addressed both issues fast and effectively.

Erik Johnson and his crew Joe, Brandon, Cody, and Tyler were absolutely amazing!

Unfortunately, my ice maker leaked--destroyed my hardwood floor--within hours of calling SERVPRO of Wood River Valley's entire team was handling everything.

Walt R.

Snow melt water got in our basement and created quite a mess. Luke's guys at SERVPRO cleaned it all up in time for our soon arriving guest. Thanks!!

We hired SERVPRO of Wood River Valley to do a small crawlspace remediation project at our condo in Ketchum. Jason was the project manager and was super professional, on time, and communicated well throughout the process.

**FIVE STARS** I'm going to preface this review with the fact that I have used and been highly dissatisfied with two other local companies. If you are shopping for a water/mold mitigation company, don't mess around, hire these guys! An ice dam during the ridiculous Sun Valley winter of 18-19 led us to hire SERVPRO. I'm not going to lie, I must have PTSD from previous experiences. As water dripped down my ceiling and walls, I felt hopeless. Time passed and I knew I needed to figure it out. Dr. Google surprised me with SERVPRO's contact info and within hours, the owner, Luke arrived at my house to begin the process of saving my home and my sanity. Luke, Eric (manager), and the entire crew were professional, timely, and helpful. The extensive water/mold mitigation work they did on my home, with my contractor, and with my PITA insurance company was completely unmatched. Additionally, I'm an over-communicator of sorts, and each phone call was met with incredible customer service! At the end of the process, I'm happy to say that my home is water-damage free (you guys...it looks amazing!) and my sanity has been restored. Thank you team SERVPRO. You're the best!
