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.

Excellent customer service all around!

I could not believe my horrible luck after my washing machine broke and a pipe busted in my basement causing the room to flood. I thought I would never get that mess cleaned up or the damage fixed. Thankfully, I remembered a friend recommending this company when she dealt with a similar problem. True to their reputation they came over in a hurry and got started immediately. Now I just home to never need them again.

Woke up to missing shingles after typical spring storms. I called SERVPRO South Chicago and they sent someone by right away. Luckily the roof was able to be repaired rather than replaced. Thank you SERVPRO for your honest and timely service.

So in this recent winter storm I decided not to listen and wrap up the water faucets outside my house and wouldn’t you know it that these pipes froze and then burst causing some major damage to my house. Thankfully though there was this organization that came over that day and assessed the damage. They gave me a quote that matched my homeowner insurance protection and got the job done within just a few days. I would call them again, but hopefully I won’t need to.

Susan

My roof took the worst of the storm damage, but thanks for the fast-acting nature of this company, I didn’t also have to deal with flooding.

Ian
Chicago

Hardworking, efficient, and a great attention to detail. I could not have asked for more from the company I had hired to repair office water damage. Thanks for the great work!

SERVPRO is a great company! Will use them again!

Giving someone else access to perform water damage repairs in my home was difficult for me, to say the least. However, I was seriously impressed with the quality of work.
