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.

We thoroughly document the damage and communicate clearly with you and your insurance throughout the process.

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.

“We were very happy with the response to our sewage problem in our crawl space. The staff was great and it was a messy job. They did a great job with cleaning up and replace our new vapor barrier again. Happy costumers

We also used SERVPRO of Matteson -Homewood last Febuary when our crawl space flooded from a broken pipe due to extreme cold weather. The Job appraiser, Ryan. He was very sincere we were desperate to get a vapor barrier which another restoration company refused to do. The staff came and put in the vapor barrier and cleaned out the total crawl space of years of people leaving there junk after working on the house. We were pleased with their work, the staff in the office. and on the job were great. Thie is why when we had our recent problem of sewage in our crawl space we recommended to the insurance to call SERVPRO again. Thanks so much for doing the work for us that others refused to do.”
