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.

Sando and his team are very genuine and do a great job! They got out to our flooded basement within hours of us finding it and have been very attentive to our problem answering questions at all hours and Sando made sure to be at our house when the insurance adjuster was there to answer his questions. Highly recommend!

I had a disaster in my home when a stainless steel hose burst under the sink in my upstairs bathroom.  After a plumber was able to stop the water flow, I contacted Jerry at SERVPRO and he was at my home in minutes to survey the damage.   He said he would have 4 or 5 of his workers come the next morning to start the process of restoration.  That was exactly how the process started with all the equipment and fans before 9 am.

There was a problem with the water leaking through a light fixture onto a carpeted area.  Jerry was on hand to explain the steps needed to start the fans and equipment.  There was many items to be moved, so the guys carried some of the bigger items to the garage.  

Jerry was very helpful and kind as I'm a widow with no family near me to help.  What a nice crew for me to work with through this stressful situation  They were all very courteous and caring.  Also the office gals were always very helpful and kind.
