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.

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

Your insurance provider trusts SERVPRO to respond quickly — we address sewage issues swiftly to control costs, prevent further damage, and keep the insurance process moving smoothly.

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.

Chet, Ricky and Parker were awesome. Early morning pump problem in basement. Standing water. Chet and crew arrived in a timely manner and very professional! Had the problem under control and manageable in a short time! Thank you!!

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to SERVPRO® of Vigo County for their prompt and professional response to a recent water line break in my basement. Water had spread throughout the area, but within two hours of my call, Chet Jenkins and Eric Parker arrived at my home in rural Clay County to begin the cleanup process. They quickly set up fans to dry the space. Today, Chet returned to assess the progress and conduct moisture testing, while Mike Latta also visited to map the basement for my insurance claim. Mike is a consummate professional (and dog lover), and his thoughtful gesture of bringing treats for our boys was much appreciated. Overall, my experience with SERVPRO has been outstanding. Thank you.

Woodrow Wilson Middle School is grateful for the donation of services provided by SERVPRO®.

Following a major leak in our clothes closet, clothes that we provide to students who may need them were wet and soiled. SERVPRO did not hesitate to help.

Not only did they agree to cleaning A LOT of laundry, but they returned it in a neat and organized fashion. The clothes came back to us better than they were when we received them in the first place.

Thank you to SERVPRO and your team for the amazing work completed on behalf of our students at Woodrow Wilson Middle School! We wholeheartedly recommend SERVPRO!
