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.

What our
customers are saying

SERVPRO Cambridge/Belmont team acted swiftly and promptly bring their heavy duty vacuums and drying machines. Standing water was removed immediately, fans and dehumidifiers were placed throughout the space drying the carpet and surrounding areas completely. Their swift attention and effective drying technics minimized damage and reduced potential replacement and clean up costs dramatically.

Highest Honors to SERVPRO Cambridge/Belmont! A December 2014 Nor ‘Easter brought up to 6” rain and caused extensive flooding in the area. The first time in 11 years that my basement took in water. Even though SERVPRO was fully booked given the extensive damage in Belmont and surrounding communities, Michael Pridham, SERVPRO owner, took extra measures to summon team members and equipment to attend to my situation.

Arthur
Cambridge

As a Cambridge property owner, I am very grateful to SERVPRO of Cambridge-Belmont for their services that twice rescued my properties. . This past winter 2014 when a freeze-up caused water seepage into every level of a different property, their team came and remedied the soaked areas resulting in a renewed and fresh interior.

Sarah

We had a sewage flood in our basement that needed cleanup. SERVPRO was responded quickly and worked tirelessly to ensure no evidence of the flood remained. The team was professional and efficient. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.

Our basement had not been seriously cleaned in 30 years, and recently had some minor sewage and rain backup. We contacted SERVPRO/Cambridge to do cleanup and power washing of walls. They came over the next morning, discussed what could be done, and provided a quote within 2 hours. The next day, 3 men came, did the job, and we are very pleased with the results, the customer service, and our dealings with the manager, Mike. I would recommend them highly.

These folks are great - Sergio in particular - we had an issue with a water leak from an above apartment and they were able to come over the next day and help assess the damage, pointed out things I had no idea about. The following day they had all the necessary drying equipment set-up and we were well on our way to getting our house back in order. They also worked with the insurance company while explaining everything they were doing and why. This made us feel really comfortable that everything was under control. If you want fast, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable folks when you have an emergency this is the company to call.

SERVPRO of Cambridge/Belmont are my heroes! They were prompt and cleaned up my flooded basement in 1 day. It was amazing. They were polite and efficient. Sergio checked in on it for a few days and his team took care of everything. They went above and beyond in helping me clean up. The water and the musty smell are all gone. I would definitely use them again

Truly impressive response time, the team arrived earlier than promised. The staff was extremely professional, courteous and helpful with remediation suggestions. They had the clean-up done within hours and then immediately set equipment to bring our facility back on-line. Their recommendations were invaluable in limiting both the damage and downtime.

Among the most responsive, effective and customer-oriented companies I have experienced. The SERVPRO crews saved us multiple times in 2014 when we dealt with an unexpected issue in our basement. Even when they were dealing with a host of emergencies following historic rainfall, they responded in minutes to our call and worked into the night to resolve our problem. We are grateful for their help and would not hesitate to call them again.
