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.

customers are saying

I manage a local supermarket and did not know who to call when my public restroom flooded at 11pm on a weekend. A friend recommended SERVPRO La Jolla and I was extremely pleased with their response time!! The answering service answered but patched me through to their on call technician and they were at the job site 50 minutes later. Couldn't recommend them more!!!!

During the storm event, two floors of my commercial building had flooded. I never expected it, and I wasn't prepared. A friend recommended SERVPRO La Jolla and they couldn't have done a better job. Weekends or after hours weren't an issue . Angela and her staff were professional, efficient and helped walk us through the restoration process, every step of the way. Way to go SERVPRO La Jolla !!!!
