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 SYC has been very responsive to helping in my recovery from a toilet flooding incident over a weekend period while unattended causing significant damage. Their team has been very professional in accomplishing the Demo and drying work needed in a very timely manner. They worked closely with me to abate and salvage as much as possible and identify all areas that needed attention.

Had crazy time trying to submit my review to Facebook and Google so I am sending it to your local email. Please make sure as a favor to us that this review gets to the right people.
Let me say that your work during this terrible flooding ordeal in February was beyond fabulous! These were scary times with a lot of valuables/heirlooms in the new basement at risk because of the massive local flooding and power failure. The workers were very a well trained and knowledgeable and answered all our questions. They obviously liked their jobs which was obvious. We can’t say enough about them and being a retired Vice President of a non profit company for over 30 plus years I hired many people during this time frame. So I know talented staff when I see them and it proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that your company has great hiring practices. Also, in addition to the front line flooding workers I would like to mention office manager Ms. Harrison for her expertise in keeping me informed and also answering a plethora of questions. She deserves a medal. Last, but I can assure you not least, was the great "calming us down" help that Pete Kenny gave us and all the countless questions that he answered with integrity, honesty and super expertise and always showing my wife and I an understanding attitude. He is a great ambassador for your company and a pros pro and I therefore will personally recommend SERVPRO® to everyone that needs your services in the future down here. Thank you again!

We had the best experience with SERVPRO Southern York County. I rarely do surveys or write reviews. I chose to write this one because Pete from SERVPRO was just fantastic. From the very first frantic call to the last, Pete was responsive, professional and calming. He kept us posted every step of the way. The work was completed ahead of schedule and the job thorough. If you ever find yourself in the unfortunate circumstance to need mitigation work, use these guys they are the best.

I came home after being away 2 weeks to a finished family room and basement full of water. SERVPRO quickly sent out a team to clean and dry the area. Pete worked directly with my insurance company to file a claim. His team literally took care of everything - water removal, disposing furniture, cutting wallboard, and removing doors, floors and mopboards. Pete and his team were always professional, efficient, kind and courteous. SERVPRO literally were my knights in shining armor!

Pete Kenney and his crew did a great job on our flooding cleanup. They had the right equipment and attacked the job with a positive attitude. They happily took care of every request in order to make sure that we were completely satisfied.

We had called on them years ago and were happy to use them again. Should we need help in the future, SERVPRO will be my first call!

I recently had a flood in my basement after two severe snow storms. I called SERVPRO and they came the same day to help me out. They are professional, understanding and did a great job! I would highly recommend them if you have any issues with water.
