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.

What our
customers are saying

Very impressive, kind, courteous and knowledgeable. Very impressed with results. Your staff is wonderful!

I would like to express my deepest thanks to SERVPRO of LaPorte County for the exemplary service they provided to myself and my husband. In September of 2014, we had sewage back up in our basement. We had 6 inches of raw sewage. We contacted SERVPRO who understood our urgency and they immediately came out to assess the situation. Once they began actual clean-up, their crew was more than just workers doing a routine job. I lost many photos and irreplaceable mementos and it was an emotional experience. They were so kind and considerate and handled our loss with compassion and understanding.

I will never forget their level of commitment to us and how accommodating they were in so many ways. I not only would recommend them to others, but would recommend that they should contact no one else but SERVPRO of LaPorte County.
