Services We Provide
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.
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.
What our
customers are saying
Jerome Counts and his crew were not 10’s…they were 100’s!!! Amazing guys who did an excellent job helping us in an extremely stressful situation! I am so grateful to them for their empathy, kindness, and professionalism! While I hope to never need their help again, if any of my family or friends or I do need it, Jerome/SERVPRO will be getting a call! Thank you!!
Very good service, on time and prompt resolved my water heater leak in my basement. They removed the wet floors and carpet, dried out the damage.
Huge thank you to the entire SERVPRO team for their speedy assistance following the water main break on 5th and Bainbridge. Lennon and the team were hard working, responsive and efficient. Very grateful and will return when/if future services are needed.
"I am writing to thank my Disaster Recovery team for their outstanding service following a flood in my loft. Project Manager Lennon with technicians Edwin and Caleb with such empathy and efficiency, they turned a total disaster into a manageable one.
Having your ceiling collapse under a flood of water is a daunting experience, and it was their human connection that made all the difference. I had such confidence in them from the get-go, and they did not let me down.
It’s rare in this world to meet people who can do their technical job so well, and yet also consider the emotional fall out for someone like me. They were so kind, but wasted not one second getting down to work.
Just know I could not be more grateful."
In a world of fraud and mistrust this was the best experience- professionalism and satisfaction throughout. I was so anxious about this entire process but from Jeff to Richard my mind was at ease. Your crew/company is amazing.
We had a water pressure pump blow in our finished basement late in the evening, spraying water over a large area before I discovered it and got the water shut off. Water had seeped into an adjacent room and hallway. Jose and his team member responded almost immediately, vacuumed the water, hand dried items as necessary, and placed equipment to quickly dry baseboard areas so that we did not have to demo/replace drywall. He returned twice to check moisture levels before removing equipment. He was cheerful, courteous, professional and reduced what would have been a stressful disaster to a mild inconvenience.
Team Paparone was great to work with. Communicative and on time with quick and tidy work.
Jerome and Jamil rapid response and professionalism made a terrible situation a pleasant experience. If I could give them 10 stars I would.
SERVPRO of Society Hill helped me at a time I was despondent. I had a sewer backup in my house and I was so traumatized I didn’t know what to do. I called them and within an hour their techs were at my house. They calmed me down (first) and then completely cleaned the disaster. It was a serious hazmat situation and their techs were cheerful and professional. They mitigated the situation within a few hours and left dehumidifiers, fans, and most importantly, air purifier machines running in my house for several days. They checked back at my house each day to inspect their mitigation, and they were GREAT! Highly recommend! They are a GREAT team to call during your homeowner’s despair. Don’t know what I’d have done without them.
