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.

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.

I had water damage to two floors in my home. Marissa came in to perform the demo and clean up of the affected areas. She was top notch. Fast, efficient and friendly. Clean up was excellent. Would not hesitate recommending her services.

My experience with everyone at SERVPRO has been outstanding from my first call out. I had a hot water pipe break in my crawl space which ended up ruining my floors and hall bathroom. Eddie Cluesman and his team came out to my house within 30 minutes and started the cleanup and restoration process. They took the time to fully explain every step to me and provided me with the necessary drying materials. Nick Tana and Jordan Chisenhall spearheaded the reconstruction of my floors, bathroom and other damaged areas. They answered every call and also walked me through every step. Their ability to explain construction in laymans terms to me was so appreciated, as I knew absolutely nothing before hand. They helped me pick out the best products for my house and set me up with an awesome contractor. The work all looks incredible and I’m glad I used them for my project. Thanks again guys!
