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.

We came home to find that water had flowed into our home and everything was soaked.  SERVPRO of Dubuque responded right away on a Sunday!

They sucked out all the standing water and removed our drenched carpet that ran throughout the house.  They set a bunch of drying machines.  All on the first day.

The next day they returned and removed the water logged bathroom vanity and some other damaged areas.

Katie was great, she answered all of my questions and kept me in the loop during the whole project.

I would recommend them to anyone who might need their help.

Thank you SERVPRO of Dubuque!  We had a mold problem that resulted from a water damage to our basement in Dubuque.  SERVPRO had a local mold testing company determine how extensive the damage was.  They then protected the other areas of our home and removed the mold.  The mold consultant from MB Mold and Air Quality Testing took samples and confirmed that the project was successful. Our home is now fully repaired and looks like the problem never happened!

I recommend their services to all my friends and family.

As one of the only Council Certified Indoor Environmentalists in the Dubuque area, I have consulted on several mold remediation projects for SERVPRO of Dubuque.  They have always followed my recommendations and acted in accordance with their duties as certified mold remediators.  I urge all of my customers to select a contractor that is properly trained, certified and insured to do the specific work that is needed.  SERVPRO of Dubuque has always met these requirements.

Thanks,
