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

Imagine this; you just came back home from a fun outing with your family to find your kitchen roof leaking. The first thing that pops in your head is “how are you going to fix this“. Our plumber took a look and told us there is a lot of moisture and we would need to get it taken care of. He recommended SERVPRO and I’m glad he did. They were helpful from start to finish. We were fortunate enough to not have mold. It took a few days but they were able to dry up the ceiling. Now our kitchen is good to go. Thanks SERVPRO.

We love SERVPRO! Our hot water heater went and we called them at 5am. By 6:30am they were there pumping out our basement and protecting our precious family photos and videos. They had machines to dry it out and we didn’t have that stinky moldy basement smell we worried we would end up with. Thank God they acted so quickly. Then they worked with my insurance company to get me what I needed to put my basement back together. My basement is better than it was before the flood!!!! Thank you so much to your team!

They promptly responded to my flooded basement not only doing a great job with the cleanup, but saving us lots of money by preventing further damage and mold growth. We would highly recommend them!

Called SERVPRO to discuss the sewage backup in my house. They were there the same day to evaluate the situation. Came back the following day with a crew and equipment to clean up, disinfect, and dry out my house. They were on time, efficient, did a thorough job and dealt with my insurance company.

I had a major flood at my house which was caused by a sewer backup. It was an unpleasant experience but SERVPRO saved the day. They were there immediately to start the cleanup which was conducted in a thorough manner. I also engaged SERVPRO for the complete restoration which included new walls, flooring and new powder room. Although I had very positive experiences with many members of the SERVPRO staff, two people stood out. Jake F oversaw the restoration process and did so in an organized, efficient and personable way. I was extremely impressed with Carlos who seemed to be able to do anything and everything! He put our house back together and we are so grateful for all his hard work, his skills and his attention to detail. Carlos was simply outstanding. SERVPRO (and their customers) are fortunate to have Jake and Carlos. Overall, I had an extremely positive experience with SERVPRO. I recommend them wholeheartedly and without reservation.
