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

I recently had a flood in my master bathroom. I contacted SERVPRO, their response was quick. Their crew Chief "Roland" was great. He explained their process, went to work setting up their equipment. They returned four days later to gather up their equipment. This process was great the water damage was abated. This process went very smoothly, I highly recommend SERVPRO, they do a great JOB!

I want to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to the SERVPRO professionals that came to our rescue when we had a water issue in our basement. In particular, John Symonds was the best!! His prompt response was very welcoming and his knowledge and professionalism was evident. We initially thought the water had entered the basement though a window, but John quickly dismissed this theory when we discovered a floor drain that had backed up. This was a great relief to us. When we discovered the damage after being away for two weeks, we were very proactive and did some damage control by pulling up saturated rugs and flooring. John had great praise for us for doing this and mentioned this would help in the cleanup of the mess. He had equipment in our home very quickly and had us drying out in a record amount of time. We learned to trust him because of his honesty with us and professional demeanor. We were scheduled to go on vacation and could not cancel. We felt confident enough with John to give him a key to the house so he could have access to do his job. We don't do this normally, but felt comfortable enough with him to allow it.We can't say enough good about John and the company he works for. Great job!!!

SERVPRO provided excellent service for us on two occasions. They were prompt, informative and did an effective job of drying out an area with significant carpet saturation. Friends recommended SERVPRO to us and we would recommend them to others.

Michael
Bangor

I was more than pleased with the entire process by the folks at SERVPRO. Mike and his crew were very accomadating and made what felt like a mess, an incredibly stress-free, easy process. Scheduling is usually an issue for our family as we have two full time working parents, but Mike was flexible to make it essentially seamless and effortless. Everyone was kind, professional, knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

I'm beyond impressed with the customer service I received from Mike at SERVPRO. He was quick to return my call, assess the situation, and provide knowledgeable feedback. Our tenant's washer hose became disconnected and she was unable to stop the washer from flooding the surrounding area including the condo below her. Mike offered to be there within an hour (in the evening mind you) to determine the proper protocol. He called me directly afterwards to explain the situation in full. Mike shared that we could handle the situation ourselves with minimal damage (thank goodness) and offered several solutions, so this doesn't happen in the future. His honesty, trustworthiness, and dependability is outstanding! I would highly recommend this company to any family member or friend!
