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.
Simplifying Insurance
We make insurance claims easier, with fewer headaches for you. We handle the details and coordinate any paperwork, so you can focus on moving forward.
We thoroughly document the damage and communicate clearly with you and your insurance throughout the process.
Your insurance provider trusts SERVPRO to respond quickly — we address sewage issues swiftly to control costs, prevent further damage, and keep the insurance process moving smoothly.
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.
What our
customers are saying
My name is Jenny Marcucci and I live in a condo unit. Unfortunately for me, the building's water pipes above me burst and my entire living room and dining room wood floors were floating around my home. I am a 70 year old woman with a disabled son who is living at home because Misericordia is closed because of the virus. I am sure you can imagine how upsetting this was for me not only to have to deal with the water but knowing that all of the workmen would be coming into my house to dry up and sanitize the floors during this PANDEMIC. I was an emotional wreck. When they all arrived, I actually started to cry when I saw what they were doing as they were tearing out the floor and spraying and putting down fans, etc. Thank goodness that Dakota was there. I actually had a meltdown. He quickly started calming me down and assured me that he would take care of everything with the least amount of exposure to my son and myself. He explained the cleaning process to me so I understood why they were doing all of this, all necessary to do it right so Pete and I would be living in a safe environment. Thank you and thanks to Dakota for making this as pleasant of an experience as is possible...considering that I had floating wood in my house! He's the greatest! I now know why Farmers Insurance directed me to your company. You have amazing employees. I'm going to let Farmers know how your company took care of us.
Maggie:
Just to let you know, the team I had here today was exceptional. They worked extremely hard and I appreciate everything they have done in the first phase of getting my place back to the way it was before the catastrophe.
Again, thank the team for me.
A few weeks back I was a victim of circumstance due to the group of tornadoes that touched down in Chicago and the western suburbs. A wind tunnel came down my street and in a matter of minutes the 100-year old maple that resided in front of my building came crashing down. All I heard was a thunderous crush sound as I hid in the corner of my apartment. When the storm passed I looked outside and saw this beautiful piece of nature torn from its roots. It made me sad. My neighbors and I slowly crept out of our homes to view the damage. My maple landed perfectly on top of our parking lot literally laying over mine and 4 other vehicles. The first person I called was my daughter, Donna Bugosh, who works at SERVPRO of Ravenswood. She knew exactly what to tell me and my neighbors to do. Between SERVPRO's expert advise, the city services and my insurance agents efforts our neighborhood was quickly cleaned up and a new vehicle was on the horizon. We were fortunate the tree did not land on our building and no one was physically harmed. I'm thankful for all parties involved.
I just want to thank SERVPRO of Ravenswood for the very rapid response to the situation and making sure that the broken window was secure. Really fantastic. I would certainly recommend your company to anyone. Thank you.
“We were very satisfied. We had a very kind, respectful team that we believe were very honest and we don’t think we would have chosen anyone else. They came in, they worked very hard, they reacted well. They worked to the protocol to try to take care of the drywall and the cabinets. We are thankful for them and we feel very blessed to have them.”
It rained so hard and much during a storm in June that we had water and stuff come up through the drains, all the drains, even the tub drain, in the basement apartment. SERVPRO came in quickly and took all the smelly things away. When they were done the place smelled like new. Thank you SERVPRO for drying our home and giving us good tips for the future.
When dealing with an abandoned townhome that is affecting neighboring properties a person doesn't really know what to do or where to start. Eddy was very knowledgeable about the whole process and explained every step of it. Inside the townhome was like a scene from that show hoarders, except that it was missing the people responsible. The pipes were leaking and it caused mold to grow on the walls ceilings and most of the contents. Eddy brought in a crew to empty the place out and then rid it of all the mold. We, the condo association, surely couldn't have done this without Eddy's and SERVPRO's help.
A home inspector went into my attic space and saw that my vent was not vented properly. Instead of going out it was just venting into the attic, which in turned grew mold. Eddie worked tirelessly on removing all the blown insulation and scrubbing the attic clean from all the mold. The small confined space didn't make it easy.
I called SERVPRO to get some information on removing mold from a commercial property we purchased. I spoke with Maggie who was very helpful and patient and answered ALL of my questions. I was able to get someone out to inspect the property the next day. The crew that came out was professional, respectful and very hardworking. They also were very knowledgeable and explained some of the process to my husband. Thank you SERVPRO.
