Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

Sewer Backups Mean Cleanup in Shreveport

Multiple times of the year, Louisiana is battered with intensive flooding, and the ground cannot soak up all the water. The great Mississippi forms most of the eastern border before it cuts south through the "boot." Then the Red River, Bayou Teche, Atchafalaya, Bayou Lafourche often overwhelm and bloat waterways pushing southward toward the Gulf of Mexico. Floodwaters endanger life, infrastructure, homes, commercial property, and farmland.

SERVPRO of South Shreveport is acutely aware that Mother Nature's flooding can also bring too much water in our flatlands, causing municipal sewer to become overcapacity damaging infrastructure, homes, and businesses. It is difficult and expensive to repair and also creates health hazards.

Other causes of sewer backup include:

• Tree Roots: Roots enter the service pipe at joints, cause blockages, and can travel a long way.
• Sanitary Main. A blockage can occur in a city sanitary main when sewage from the main can back up through floor drains.
• Basement Water. When soil settles, rainwater can flow down the foundation wall in buildings.

Whether saturated rivers or groundwater, tree roots, or central lines cause sewage backup, the water is unsanitary and may contain bacteria and viruses that could cause serious illness. SERVPRO of South Shreveport is experienced in evaluating whether the contents and a structure may be
decontaminated and restored or whether everything must be removed and replaced.

Call SERVPRO of South Shreveport. We have the team, specialized training, and equipment necessary to clean contamination safely.

Planning for a sewage emergency is probably the last thing on any homeowner’s mind. However, sewage damage can happen to anyone, in any home, at any time.

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.
