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.

Tim and SERVPRO did s wonderful job for a real estate client of mine, and ultimately kept our home sale transaction together. During the home inspection, we found an ejector pump in the crawl space of the home had stopped functioning. By the extent of the damage, it had probably been in disrepair for years, and the cleanup job was extensive. Tim and his team were able to get in there quickly to address the problem and handle the cleanup, which kept our buyer in the deal and we closed on time. Thank you for your responsiveness, hard work, and follow through.

Hi Eric & Tim,

I just wanted to say thanks again for helping us out yesterday at our rental property. Eric went above and beyond in wading through the 8 inches of water in our crawlspace with me to diagnose the issue with our sump pump (turned out to be the check valve). As of this morning we have rectified the issue and got all of the water out.

It speaks volumes to your personality to volunteer to help us out in that situation even though that had nothing to do with your visit yesterday. It saved me hours of lost time and money as I would have probably just bought a new sump pump thinking the existing one died. And you saved my shoes/clothes by having those trash bags handy.

Although ancillary to why we chose to hire you, it really elevates our trust in you and your company. Thank you again.

We recently had some work done by SERVPRO/Barrington and are very happy with the work they did for us. They were referred to us by our realtor and came highly recommended. They were very courteous and professional when they were at our house  and would definitely recommend them.
