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.

Thank you to all at SERVPRO! You helped us so much and we couldn't be more grateful! We hope to never have to use you again, but if something does happen we will be calling SERVPRO!

We had a major pipe break below our sink which caused a lot of damage to our kitchen & basement.  Our insurance recommended SERVPRO and boy was I glad!  The SERVPRO team determined what needed to be done and went to work.  There is no way my husband and I could have taken care of this ourselves.  Special thanks to the technicians & project manager that walked me through this process making me feel at ease.

So totally unrelated but I wanted to give a huge shout out and I promise to write a review.  Sunday night about 10:15 I got a call from an insured with a major water leak from her kitchen into her finished basement.  I offered to call it in right away and she said to wait until Monday morning.  I called your guys Monday about 9am after I filed the claim with Indiana Farmers and John got a crew on it immediately.  By 1 that same afternoon she called to tell me how awesome your team was and that she was amazed to have a resolution already.  Hole in ceiling, blowers going and cabinets getting taken care of the following day plus they sent everything to Indiana Farmers immediately.  You guys are rockstars!!
