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.

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

Javiel Medina came out and he was wonderful, very considerate and professional.  It was comforting to be in good hands.  I highly recommend SERVPRO of San Luis Obispo!

In January we had a slab leak at our home.  We used SERVPRO of San Luis Obispo to take care of the water damage.  Chelsea, in the office, was awesome to work with and kept everything moving and on schedule!  I highly recommend this company.

Sarah B
Morro Bay

Extremely happy with this company's work.  We had a leak in a hose to/from our dishwasher which seeped under the floor, so it wasn't readily apparent until the floorboards in front of the sink got "squishy" and water started leaking up.  Our insurance company recommended SERVPRO of SLO, and they came out immediately to assess the damage.  They wasted no time in beginning the mitigation process, diligently came back daily to monitor progress, and communicated each step of the way.  Did an awesome job.  Thanks to Amber, Javiel and the whole crew!

My wife and I called SERVPRO of San Luis Obispo and within forty five minutes David was at our home. We had a leak from the ceiling in our bedroom. David was so professional and knowledgeable. He walked us through the process and were so patient with all of my questions. Highly recommend!

Richard R.
San Luis Obispo

Our ENTIRE HOME was flooded during the recent storms. Gabriel from SERVPRO of Atascadero and his crew came in like gangbusters and tackled the mess head-on. They moved my furniture & belongings, removed wet carpet and set up a ton of drying fans and machines and, over the course of several days, amazingly, they dried everything out. I can't thank them enough.
