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.

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 want to thank the crew at SERVPRO of Burlington for their prompt response to the sewer backup in my basement. Their cleaning crew did a great job. All of them were very pleasant. If I ever need that type of service again I'll call although I hope I won't need to. I would also recommend your service to others.

Phyllis

Our experience working with SERVPRO, I have to say was extremely pleasant under the circumstances. Every employee was professional, very helpful and a pleasure to work with. We were kept updated daily in the progress, they worked with our insurance company and went above and beyond to assist and answer all our questions. A huge shout out goes to Todd Earnest. We will definitely recommend SERVPRO to anyone who needs them.

Sherry
Burlington

We had noticed some staining on the ceiling by our fireplace and realized we had a leak somewhere around our chimney. That's when we called SERVPRO of Burlington to come and assess the damage, dry out, and restore. As they were doing demolition they were very good at cleaning up behind themselves and keeping the mess to a minimum which we appreciated. 

Kristen

I called Todd as soon as I noticed I had water in my basement. Him and his crew removed and replaced drywall along with setting up drying equipment. This saved me the time and hassle of doing it myself. I was very pleased with their work!

Linda

I am very pleased with the work that was done to remove the mold. You all have made this hard and difficult time, since my mother passed away and cleaning up the house where she lived, more bearable to deal with. Thank you to everyone that has assisted us in this matter.

I received a call on a cold Friday night that my home in Iowa had a water issue and that black mold was in abundance. I live in Connecticut and had no idea what I was going to do as I had not seen the extent of the damage. My brother mentioned SERVPRO as a company that might be able to assist.

Early the next morning I called SERVPRO of Burlington and spoke with Todd Earnest, who said just let him know where and when and he would meet me there.

Travel plans were changed at the last minute and I had to adjust my arrival time and called Todd/SERVPRO who didn't flinch at the change in plans and said whatever you need.

Well, I met Todd on Sunday morning and walked into my house that was a mess. Water logged carpets, floors, furniture, and mold over everything. I was shocked. Todd said it's bad but could have been worse and that he would take care of this and for me not to fret.

I could go on and on, but to make a long story somewhat shorter, Todd said he and his crew could and would take care of everything and that I should not worry.

SERVPRO brought in all kinds of equipment to dry the moisture, eliminate the mold and spores and would begin recovery ASAP. All in all, I was and am 120 percent happy for the service, support and finished product by SERVPRO.

Never once was I concerned about SERVPRO and the team to do the right thing for me. Truly amazing and committed crew to make sure I was happy. I met them all and was very impressed with their professionalism as well as their overall personalities. I was even invited to watch my Green Bay Packers at on of the crews house if I could not get it on my tv. I was able to watch it at home.

I would and will continue to support and recommend SERVPRO of Burlington to anyone and everyone!
