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

A sewage issue had us scrambling for help and a friend recommended SERVPRO.  We placed our trust in them and hoped for the best.   By the time they were done our home looked like new.  We recommend them whenever anyone needs a restoration company.

There was water everywhere and we knew we were in over our heads.  Calling SERVPRO was the best decision we ever made.  They were quick, reasonable and great at communicating with us. They had everything under control way sooner than we expected.  Very impressed.

The water heater broke and leaked overnight all over our basement. I thought we would have to replace the carpet, but SERVPRO arrived with powerful equipment and dried it out.  At the end of the day we saved some money thanks to them.

My grandson thought he could make his room a pool by sneaking a garden hose through the window.  Needless to say, it was a disaster.  Luckily, SERVPRO helped us bring in huge extractors and equipment to make sure my hardwood floor wouldn’t be damaged.  I recommend this team whole-heartedly.

A leak in the upstairs bathroom made it all the way to our living room downstairs.  Aside from cleaning and drying everything, SERVPRO helped us replace some of the drywall.  I couldn’t believe how quick they were!

We recently had water damage in our house and SERVPRO was there to respond. I had the opportunity to work with Victor Easter the Operations Manager, not only was it a pleasure working with him but the team be brought was just as great. As a homeowner it is scary and you need to act quick. I made a call at 4:45PM and SERVPRO was there at 9:15AM the next morning. They maintained communication which is huge for everyone, customer service is top notch and the work they did while educating me and answering my questions make me want to refer their service to anyone in the same predicament. This service came with Professionalism, reliability and world class customer service. Everyone wants to be kept in the known and they has always made me a priority. I personally asked if I could post this because of my experience I had with them. This is not a cheeseball post... the work they do is A+ and would recommend anyone to this service with Victor and his teams!

I worked with SERVPRO when my condo unit flooded - they were truly incredible (arranging the pack/move, water mitigation and process with insurance). I have had a lot of experience moving in my time and none has compared to this in terms of professionalism, service, patience and overall "know-how". Victor and his team made the process seamless and I felt really well taken care of at a time when it is especially appreciated! Thank you!

We are grateful for the assistance we received from SERVPRO, especially Jesse and Victor. Jesse was here the most from the SERVPRO team and provided great information to us about how the project was coming along. He spent a lot of time working on setting up the room and making it safe and secure as well as getting rid of moisture that had accumulated and water damage. Everyone from SERVPRO was professional, polite, and answered questions thoughtfully. We always received a call 15 to 30 minutes before they arrived. We are very happy with the service they provided. We felt relieved that the work was in the hands of professionals. We gladly recommend their services.

Our dishwasher broke and I thought we could just replace it and call it a day.  It wasn’t until a friend explained that mold could grow behind the new appliance if the area wasn’t dried properly that we called SERVPRO. They showed us their humidity measurements and it made me realize what a big mistake we avoided.

About Us

The needs of the Greater Minneapolis area regarding potential water, fire, and storm disasters never cease. Because of this, we understand the values of efficient service and restoration, as this both saves our customers money but also allows us to remain available for the next possible disaster. Readiness is a trait that owner Cory Bates has brought over from his time in the United States Navy, and one of his driving forces for choosing a selection of veterans to help fill out the ranks of his SERVPRO team. Homeowners know what to expect from SERVPRO of Northeast Minneapolis because we have a knowledgeable staff that cares for properties, their occupants, and seeks to be leading professionals in the restoration field.

The Importance of a Fast Response to Minneapolis Homes

Disasters and resulting property damage all fall under a specific timeline for restoration and recovery. The sooner our experienced technicians can begin vital mitigation efforts, the more of the property and its contents that we can preserve and ultimately restore. The right recovery training and ability also make a difference, as several threats require advanced cleaning techniques homeowners cannot manage on their own. Between our full roster of restoration technicians and building trade professionals, we can offer many vital services, including:

  • Post-Disaster Cleanup
  • Extraction
  • Air Quality Cleaning
  • HVAC Cleaning
  • Electronics Cleaning
  • Reconstruction
  • Structural Repairs

Restoring the Community Just as We Restore Damaged Properties 

 There is a need for compassion and care for our neighbors and fellow man now more than ever, and we work to embody that with the work that we do in our communities. While we work around the clock on some of the fiercest restoration projects commercial and residential properties in the area require, we also devote our time and resources to other significant needs of Hennepin County, and in neighboring communities to Minneapolis we share with you. We work closely with many veteran services active in the area, as well as programs like the American Red Cross, local fundraising and awareness events, and the athletic programs for the city’s youth.
