Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

Sewage Cleanup in Fort Lauderdale South

What Should You Do If Sewage Backs Up in Your Home?

Shut off the water source if it is safe to do so and stay away from the affected area until help arrives. Sewage carries bacteria and contaminants that put your health at risk the longer it sits, so SERVPRO of Ft. Lauderdale South treats every backup as a same-day priority across Las Olas, Rio Vista, Sailboat Bend, and the surrounding Fort Lauderdale area.

How Our Technicians Handle Sewage Cleanup

Our IICRC certified team extracts contaminated water, removes materials that cannot be salvaged, and sanitizes every affected surface following industry protocols for Category 3 water intrusion. We follow with antimicrobial treatment and controlled drying to bring air quality and moisture levels back to a safe range before any repair work begins.

Rebuilding After a Sewage Backup

Sewage damage often reaches deeper than the surface, affecting flooring, drywall, and subfloor materials that need to be replaced rather than cleaned. Holding general contracting license CBC1261730, we handle that reconstruction directly, so you are working with one team from initial cleanup through final repair rather than coordinating a separate contractor.

Sewage Cleanup for Condos and Commercial Properties

We regularly assist condo associations and property managers with backups that affect shared plumbing lines, documenting the damage and coordinating directly with your insurance provider to support the claims process from start to finish.

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.

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.

This is my 4th time in 4 years using these guys. Great service.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Steven Rodriguez from SERVPRO! Dealing with property damage is incredibly stressful, but the moment Steven stepped through the door, all of that anxiety completely vanished. Their professionalism, technical expertise, and attention to detail were second to none. They took the time to thoroughly explain the entire restoration process, answered every single one of my questions with patience, and worked with absolute efficiency to get everything dried out and cleaned up perfectly. What truly blew me away was their empathy.

We were afraid to just move back in after a storm caused flood damage in our home. However, with SERVPRO's help we were able to get back home sooner than we expected.

I’ve always heard how great SERVPRO was, but I got to see it firsthand with their mold remediation staff. Really professional and fast workers.

About Us

About SERVPRO of Ft. Lauderdale South

Based in the Las Olas corridor, SERVPRO of Ft. Lauderdale South is a locally owned restoration and reconstruction company serving homeowners, condo associations, and businesses across Fort Lauderdale, Plantation, Davie, Oakland Park, and Sunrise. Our IICRC certified technicians respond around the clock to water, fire, storm, mold, and biohazard damage, then carry that same job through to full reconstruction under our own general contracting license, so you are never left coordinating a separate crew once the cleanup ends.

Locally Owned With Reach Across Florida

Our franchise is owned by Michael Panster and Joshua J. Marazzito, who also operate additional SERVPRO locations throughout the state. That structure means this office draws on the equipment, staffing, and surge capacity of a multi location ownership group while staying rooted in Fort Lauderdale, with a team that knows Las Olas, Rio Vista, The Isles, Sailboat Bend, and Victoria Park street by street.

How We Handle Mitigation and Reconstruction Together

Most restoration companies stop once the water is gone or the smoke is cleared, then hand you off to a separate contractor for repairs. We do not. Our technicians manage extraction, structural drying, and cleanup, and when a property needs rebuilding, our own reconstruction team takes over under one continuous plan. That single point of accountability is a major reason condo associations and property managers across Broward County keep calling us back.

Serving Condo Associations, Property Managers & Commercial Properties

Beyond single family homes, we work regularly with HOA boards, absentee and seasonal owners, and commercial operators in hospitality, retail, and healthcare who need recovery that minimizes downtime. Our team provides ongoing photo and video updates for owners who are out of state, and we have managed large scale recovery work including multi room hotel flooding and full condo association reconstruction projects.

Why Fort Lauderdale Trusts Our Team

We hold a 4.9 star rating across more than 380 local reviews, ahead of every other restoration company in the area. Our technicians are IICRC certified, and we work directly with your insurance provider to document the loss and support your claim from the first call through final walkthrough. Combined with more than 59 years of restoration heritage as part of the SERVPRO network, that track record is why homeowners and property managers throughout South Florida choose us first.

Proud to Support Our Community

We are an official partner of the Miami Marlins and stay active in the Fort Lauderdale community year round, because this is the neighborhood our team calls home too.
