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.
When the bathroom sink leaked into our custom made wood vanity I thought we were toast. One of my friends recommended SERVPRO and they came in to carefully dry the wood and let it settle back down. With their help, the sink incident didn’t escalate.
The dishwasher broke and there was water soaking the two cabinets on either side. We called SERVPRO to try to repair them and luckily they did. It sure beat having to replace them all!
We didn’t know the water line under our home had ruptured until our hardwood floors became uneven. When we called SERVPRO it was our last effort at fixing the problem instead of replacing (and trying to match) the planks affected. Thanks to you, there is no perceptible damage to our floor.
We couldn’t be happier with your service. From the moment you arrived it was clear that you knew what you were doing and we felt good about trusting you. Thank you!
Stormwater in a basement is no joke. Thanks to your SERVPRO team, there is no more water and my basement is livable again.
My baby was due shortly after the storm, so I called SERVPRO in a panic trying to get the house back in order and disinfected. Thank you for putting up with my craziness and for helping me welcome my baby into a clean home!
We called SERVPRO to take care of the sludge left behind by the storm. As soon as we saw the equipment you were unloading from your vehicle, we knew we had made the right choice.
Our recently repaired roof wasn’t as good as we thought. Although the roofers took care of it, we were still left with wet furniture and floors. Thank you SERVPRO for helping us clean everything and avoid more problems.
The humidity made our hardwood stairs swell. We tried store-bought options but they didn’t help. When we saw the size of SERVPRO’s dehumidifiers we understood that we were way out of our league. There’s nothing better than leaving things up to the experts.
