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.

customers are saying

I'm totally satisfied with the job SERVPRO did after my water pipe burst. They were very professional and I am totally satisfied.

I had a water problem at my house and I called SERVPRO because my BFF recommended them; she is friends with one of the Champaign employees. I had a crew out to the house within hours. They had several employees helping me to get my belongings packed up and sorted. I was very upset about the loss. One of their crew; Josh Duprey, was very kind and courteous while helping me make tough decisions. Josh is very knowledgeable about construction and repair. He and I had many conversations about damage control for my house. If anyone needed SERVPRO for damage control I would recommend that they ask for Josh to be on their crew

I want SERVPRO to continue with the repairs of my drywall, carpet, and hardwood floors. They are great.

I called at 3:11 pm and they were at my house by 3:50 pm to survey the damage from a busted water line to our third story toilet. The water ran through two floors into our basement. They had guys on the job 35 minutes after we called and they had everything complete by 5:45 pm. They were polite. Explained everything thoroughly and did an amazing job. They still have to come back tomorrow and set that appointment up on the spot. I will definitely recommend them in the future! Great job SERVPRO of Vermilion County.

During the big freeze on the weekend of Saturday, February 2, a water pipe in my laundry room burst and water was literally pumping out into the laundry room and the adjoining family room. When the water was finally turned off I had no water in the house and was very frustrated. I called a plumber first thing on that Monday morning. I was told that it would be a while before they could get to me because the freeze caused pipes to burst all over town. I had seen SERVPRO ads on TV and decided to call them for help in cleaning up the water damage. They agreed to come out immediately. In the meantime, Brittany Chavira, the person I had talked to at SERVPRO, had called the plumber I had talked to and convinced him to come to my house. He did come out to check out my situation. Even though he told me he could not fix the pipes right then, he did shut down the laundry room pipes and turned my water back on for the rest of the house. I have Brittany to thank for that. She went above & beyond to help me. I knew at that moment that SERVPRO was the help I needed. SERVPRO came right out and went to work. They were very professional while also being caring. They did a great job of treating my house and furniture with the utmost care. I would recommend them to anyone having water damage. I especially thank Brittany Chavira for her help and kindness to me and my property.
