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.

What our
customers are saying

Again, SERVPRO of Winnetka did not disappoint! We have now used them for three different jobs, with three different issues... 1) Hoarding situation 2) Apartment Fire 3) Water damage... We had a large job that require a total gut of one tier of three apartments. Horrible water damage where the original hardwood floors and plaster walls which were both 60+ years old had to be removed. The renovations were perfect and so well done! I trust them with each job they do and I won't call anyone else when we need a serious job done, and done right!

Steve and Antoinette worked very hard with the insurance company and made things pretty easy on me. Happy to know we have SERVPRO Winnetka here whenever needed!

You guys are the best! Thanks so much. When I have a free moment I am going to write up a 5 star review on you guys.

The best company ever!! Thank you so much. I felt so confident in every member of the team. Antoinette in the office went the extra mile with the insurance company, and the crew was so helpful (especially with the pack out).

The whole team was very diligent and conscientious. Took care to keep all of the unaffected materials from sustaining any damage. Great work and I will recommend highly.

I cannot thank SERVPRO WWS enough for the incredibly fast response to our flooded basement on Sunday. They were at my house 30 minutes after my wife called them, and set to work right away removing all the carpet and padding that was ruined by the black sludge that came up through our floor drains. It was a huge mess, and  the crew worked so hard to mitigate any further damages. Will and Dave were great at explaining the process and keeping me informed throughout the whole ordeal. Thanks so much!!

David C.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. When we noticed our basement had flooded on a Sunday morning, I thought it would be at least two days before someone could come and help. SERVPRO WWS was there within two hours of me calling them. Dave, Will and the crew got to work right away sucking up all of the water in our storage room, bathroom and rec room. They only removed the material that was unsalvageable and told us everything that was happening in real time. So professional and courteous. I will recommend SERVPRO WWS to all of my neighbors. Great job

Marci B.

 Called SERVPRO WWS when we discovered three inches of sewage in our basement last Sunday morning. Dave and the crew did an awesome job of removing the water, placing our property that was unaffected in another part of the house, and removing the baseboards and affected drywall. I cannot thank you enough for the truly amazing response time , and the professionalism and courtesy you displayed. Five star treatment all the way!!!

Dave the production manager was most pleasant and his suggestions were vey helpful to me. SERVPRO WWS was very cooperative and responsible. My home was in good hands I felt.
