Steps in Our Sewage Damage Restoration Process

Sewage Removal & Contamination Control

We clean up sewage spills and biohazards using specialized equipment and training, thoroughly and safely from start to finish.

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 just wanted to take the time to express how completely satisfied I am with your staff from start to finish. I was out of state when a pipe completely burst in my house. My son just happened to stop by and found everything flooded. We immediately called SERVPRO of Yonkers, and the clean up crew was promptly at my house with everything they needed to drain the water from the rooms and dry up all the remaining water. I received several telephone calls from your staff keeping me aware of what was taking place. I have never been on the receiving end of such prompt and professional service in my life. Many thanks to all of you at SERVPRO of Yonkers.

5 star review: This is the second time we've had an issue with our water heater leaking and getting water all over our finished basement. This time around was just as good as the first time. Very professional people. Kind, courteous, and took the time to explain everything that they needed to do. They truly did an outstanding job...again!  Thank you SERVPRO of Yonkers!

SERVPRO of Yonkers was incredible when we asked for help with damages in our home caused by rain water. All my thanks to everyone on the team!

We recently had 6in. of water fill our finished basement due to rain storm, and in conjunction with a power outage we were in serious need of help! Thankfully, SERVPRO responded quickly. The staff was professional, empathetic, careful and quick with the removal and clean up process and we are grateful. If you ever need help in the future, rest assured you will be in good hands with SERVPRO. 5 stars for sure!

During the recent heavy rainfall our sump pump was not able to keep up and flooded our entire finished basement.  I called SERVPRO of Yonkers South immediately and they showed up with a crew that was able to help us.  They were able to get the carpet out quickly and prevent any further damage to the space. Their team was great and I would never hesitate to call them again.

When you have a sewer back up and flood your house, you can't imagine that it will ever all be cleaned up. SERVPRO was there immediately and had the entire mess cleaned up VERY quickly. I was amazed by the service, the follow-through, and all of the communication. Highly recommend!

A SERVPRO of Yonkers South crew was at our house very soon after we had called them. I don't know what we would have done by ourselves but they knew just what to do to help us. They had all the necessary equipment like water vacuums, fans, and dehumidifiers. One of our toilet tanks had cracked and sprayed water around nonstop with most of it going down a heat vent into the ceiling in the basement and some soaking into our upstairs bedroom carpeting. We had a lake in the basement and Niagara Falls coming down almost all over the ceiling down there. The team carefully moved furniture, tore out water damaged carpeting, checked areas for hidden water, and then got things dried out for us. Thank you to the SERVPRO company for taking care of the problem so professionally.

SERVPRO is an excellent organization.  Early one morning I woke up to the sound of water gushing from my bathroom.  I immediately called SERVPRO.  They assembled a crew and arrived at my house extremely fast.  They assessed the damage and came up with a game plan to effect the restoration and laid it out with me, step by step.  They answered my many questions and I didn't have to worry about anything.  The process was completed on scheduled and to my satisfaction and the service greatly exceeded my expectations.  I highly recommended the company.
