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 will always use SERVPRO from now on. They do so much more than clean up water damage! They had special equipment to get rid of foul odors such as cigarette smoke, pet odor, etc that we had in our rental and afterwards the place smelled amazing! They also cleaned a large expensive shag rug of ours. We almost threw it away because of the smell but they were able to make it like new. SERVPRO was a lifesaver and really helped us out! Great people to work with!

SERVPRO recently cleaned the carpets at the offices of CE Daddy and Koonce Insurance/Dimond Bros. in Marion, IL. There were several spots that were "set in". As well as, the smell from carpets getting wet due to the heavy rains. All the set in spots came out!! They were able to get the water out of the carpets and eliminate the odor. We are so please with the results!! The gentlemen SERVPRO sent to our office were very professional and cleared up all of our concerns regarding the wet carpet. I hope we never have the issue again but if we do, SERVPRO will be my first call! I would recommend SERVPRO to anyone needing restoration work of any kind.

A very quick response time and considerate employees as we dealt with this mess. A very professional service team. Appeared using good quality equipment to make everything cleaned up and dried up to their best of their ability in a timely manor. Representatives were patient while we continue to ask so many questions through the process. For something that was not a good experience, they applied themselves to make it the best they could us and our home and all the personal belongings.
