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.

Cody was the one in charge of my water damages done by the upstairs unit negligence. This was such a difficult time having my Tenant leave due to upstairs unit water negligence. Cody was so professional, so caring and always answered my calls and question and Texts with such a kind, professional and gentle approach. I highly recommend SERVPRO and if you have the luxury and opportunity to work with Cody he is the BEST. Though this was a horrible terrible experience with never ending water issues and damages. Thanks to Cody fixing all the issue and even going back to double check on old and on the new issues of concerns and always made sure to respond quickly back to me and with the utmost professionalism and kind work ethic. I am truly grateful and would highly recommend this 5 STAR company specific Cody. Thank you. Mohebat. Highland of Issaquah.

Emilio and his team removed the attic insulation and several sections of drywall in multiple rooms due to water damage. After "demolition" they left our house cleaner than they found it. The crew worked in a 100 degree attic with very little space and they didn't complain. Very impressed with all the people that SERVPRO sent to work on our house. They put down tarps and covered the carpet on the stairs as well as vacuuming everything when they were done. Israel was also very helpful when he checked on the equipment and even covered up some ceilings so we could use our rooms. The staff at the office was great helping coordinate the demolition. A special shout out to Jenn!
