Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?
Professional Sewage Cleanup: Why Quick Action Matters
When a sewer line backs up or a drain overflows, the clock starts ticking. For property owners in Downtown Minneapolis, a sewage spill isn't just a messy inconvenience—it’s a significant biohazard that requires professional intervention. At SERVPRO of Downtown Minneapolis/Team Bates & Hogan, we understand the urgency and complexity of "black water" intrusions.
The Risks of DIY Cleanup
Sewage contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause serious illness. Attempting to clean it yourself with standard household tools often spreads contaminants further into your flooring and drywall.
Health Hazards: Exposure to E. coli, Salmonellosis, and Hepatitis A.
Property Damage: Moisture can seep into structural elements, leading to secondary mold growth within 24 to 48 hours.
Odor Retention: Without industrial-grade deodorization, pungent smells can linger indefinitely.
Our Expert Process
Our team is IICRC-certified and equipped with specialized personal protective equipment (PPE) and air scrubbing technology. We don’t just remove the standing water; we sanitize, disinfect, and restore your space to preloss conditions.
From the initial extraction to the final structural drying, Team Bates & Hogan provides a seamless, "Like it never even happened" experience. If you’re facing a sewage emergency, don’t wait for the damage to escalate.
Call SERVPRO of Downtown Minneapolis today for 24/7 emergency restoration services.

What To Do When Sewage Damage Happens
A sewage emergency is both unexpected and overwhelming.
Planning for a sewage emergency is probably the last thing on any homeowner’s mind. However, sewage damage can happen to anyone, in any home, at any time.
Knowing what to do in those first few moments can help protect your home and health. Here are some recommended steps from SERVPRO.
Avoid all contact with sewage-contaminated water
Turn off the main water supply to prevent additional flow
Shut down HVAC systems to stop contaminated air from circulating
Evacuate people and pets from affected areas
Call SERVPRO immediately for professional cleanup
Work with SERVPRO to contact your insurance company and document the damage
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.
Simplifying Insurance
We make insurance claims easier, with fewer headaches for you. We handle the details and coordinate any paperwork, so you can focus on moving forward.
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.

customers are saying
Jon and the crew did a great job cleaning up our basement after a water heater failure that flooded several rooms. They came out on short notice, assessed the problem, and had the water cleaned up and drying equipment set up within a few hours. Very professional and friendly. Would definitely use them again, and recommend to others!
We had a major leak in our bathroom that SERVPRO was able to remedy and cleanup. Thanks SERVPRO!
After a storm came through Minnesota, our office space was under water from the rain. We didn't know what to do about removing the water until we called SERVPRO. They helped us immensely, especially since we are a small business and needed to get back to work.
We found mold under our kitchen sink and needed to get it removed! Luckily, we called SERVPRO and after their inspection, they found more mold we weren't even aware of. Thankfully, we called SERVPRO and they could fix it for us.
We found mold in our bathroom and didn't know what to do. We did a quick Google search and found this team to help us out. They answered on the first call and had someone helping us the same day.
