Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

Sewage Cleanup Needs More Than a Mop

A toilet overflow, backed-up floor drain, or sewer line problem can make a property feel unusable fast. It is messy, stressful, and definitely not the kind of thing anyone wants to “figure out as they go.” In New London, coastal rain, older plumbing, and low-lying areas near the Thames River can all add to drainage and backup concerns.

SERVPRO® provides sewage cleanup for homes, apartments, offices, restaurants, and commercial buildings. Sewage water may contain waste, bacteria, and other contaminants, so cleanup needs a careful process that goes beyond removing visible water.

What the Cleanup Process May Include

The first step is figuring out what areas were affected and what materials were touched by contaminated water. Hard surfaces may be cleaned and sanitized, while porous materials like carpet pad, insulation, or drywall may need removal if they absorbed sewage water.

SERVPRO can help with:

  • Water extraction from affected spaces
  • Removal of damaged porous materials
  • Cleaning and sanitizing hard surfaces
  • Odor control and drying support
  • Moisture checks under flooring and behind walls

Local Help for Difficult Cleanup Situations

In New London, older homes, multi-unit properties, and busy commercial spaces can make sewage cleanup more involved because water may move into shared walls, lower levels, or storage areas.

For sewage cleanup that is practical, careful, and explained in plain language, contact SERVPRO to schedule service and help restore confidence in your property.

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.

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.

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.

We noticed some patches of mold starting to accumulate in this area of our living home. That's when I called up SERVPRO of New London and we found out that the mold problem was actually a much bigger problem. I'm thankful that I called them up and that their mold remediation team did such a great job. It could have been a lot worse, but thankfully it wasn't.

Life in New London comes with a little bit of everything: waterfront weather, older homes, busy businesses, apartments, historic properties, and plenty of moisture-friendly coastal air. That mix can make property damage feel complicated fast. A roof leak, kitchen fire, mold concern, or storm cleanup is stressful enough without having to decode every restoration term along the way.

SERVPRO helps homeowners, property managers, and business owners handle water, fire, mold, storm, cleaning, and construction needs with a practical, step-by-step approach. The goal is to explain what happened, what needs attention, and what the next steps look like.

Restoration Support With Local Perspective

SERVPRO® looks beyond the obvious damage to check how moisture, smoke, soot, odor, or debris may have affected nearby spaces and materials.

Services may include:

  • Water damage cleanup and drying
  • Fire and smoke restoration
  • Mold removal and remediation
  • Storm damage cleanup
  • Specialty cleaning and contents support
  • Construction and repair services
