Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?
Efficient Sewage Cleanup and Restoration in Bartow and Lakeland Highlands
A sewage backup in the humid climate of Polk County is a serious matter that requires an immediate, professional response. SERVPRO of Bartow/Lakeland Highlands specializes in the rapid extraction and decontamination of "black water" intrusions for both residential homes and commercial facilities. Whether caused by a municipal line failure or a localized plumbing disaster, our team is available 24/7 to mitigate the damage.
Sewage contains harmful contaminants that can quickly ruin structural materials and compromise your indoor air quality. Our technicians use advanced moisture-sensing technology to track the path of the intrusion, ensuring that every affected area—including subfloors and wall cavities—is identified and addressed.
Our comprehensive restoration process includes:
Emergency Extraction: Using industrial-grade, truck-mounted vacuums to clear standing water and debris quickly.
Controlled Removal: Identifying and disposing of non-salvageable materials like saturated carpet or drywall to prevent secondary damage.
Professional Sanitization: Applying professional-strength antimicrobial treatments to eliminate odors and ensure a clean environment.
Strategic Drying: Deploying high-capacity dehumidifiers and air movers to pull deep-seated moisture from the building’s framing.
Serving the communities from the historic streets of Bartow to the residential neighborhoods of Lakeland Highlands, we work directly with your insurance provider to streamline the claims process. We are committed to a thorough and efficient cleanup, helping you recover quickly and confidently.

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.
Avoid all contact with sewage-contaminated water
Turn off the main water supply to prevent additional flow
Shut down HVAC systems to stop contaminated air from circulating
Evacuate people and pets from affected areas
Call SERVPRO immediately for professional cleanup
Work with SERVPRO to contact your insurance company and document the damage
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.
What our
customers are saying
Big y and little T came through and saved the day the house was full of water and they cleaned and dryer it and left it smelling good, great job.
I am not sure where to start. From the initial call to request help, to the last day the team was there to pick up the machines....my experience was exceptional. Jon, Cody and their crew went above and beyond when my house flooded. Although it took a week to dry us out, it felt like a day. Jon made sure even though I was at work, I always knew what was going on. They took what was a stressful event for me and made it 1000 times better. I was impressed by how knowledgeable they were, how clean they left my house even after having to tear up flooring, and cabinets! Courteous of my animals, kids and my things they had to move! I can not begin to thank you enough for everything! My family misses having ya'll around!
Awesome company to work for.
Great team of guys: Jose/Mike. Great communication daily!! Thank you!
I would like to thank SERVPRO of Bartow/Lakeland Highlands for everything they did for us after the flood. They went above and beyond working with my insurance company and I can't thank them enough!! If I ever have another problem, SERVPRO will be the first company I call.
Make sure all team members follow the work ethics of this team. Great job.
We didn't even think our house would be affected by the latest heavy winds, but it came right near our neighborhood and the wind did some damage. Getting repairs done was hassle free thanks to SERVPRO! We recommend them to anyone needing repairs after a storm.
Allen was very professional got everything back to the way was it was after getting rid of mold.
We didn't think a bit of mold in the bathroom was a big thing, until the stench started taking over the house. It was amazing that SERVPRO was able to eliminate that, but they did!
