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.

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.

customers are saying

I felt confident in the knowledge of your estimator that came to the home I was renting.  He knew how to talk to my tenant and he knew how to talk to me separately.  That means a world of difference. So professional!

Thank You,

It is so stressful to have your house damaged like ours was but it felt like no time before your guys had mended the situation. Anthony and the whole operation was great. I will be recommending SERVPRO to everyone in the neighborhood.

We had such a catastrophic loss at our home and we really felt like SERVPRO took care of us throughout the whole process. Their kindness and care makes such a difference at a time like that.

Jess
Newark

I came home from vacation and the hose from the refrigerator had come loose and made a mess of water all over my kitchen, into my dining room and down into my basement.  I was so upset and did not know what to do.  I called my insurance company, and they gave me your number.  I called around 7 pm and one of your men, Matt, called me back within minutes.  He was patient and courteous as we spoke.  As promised he arrived within the hour with a few other men.  They worked until almost 1 in the morning!  I was very impressed how knowledgeable they were.  They helped make my night better by helping me through my nightmare.  Although I was upset with water damage, your men really were a blessing to me.  Thank you so much for coming to me.  I did not know company's like you still exist. I would definitely recommend your company to anyone who needs assistance.

I liked how your mitigation team explained everything to me two times.  I sometimes do not understand things and they were very patient with me.  People sometimes do not understand that and your team did.
