Steps in Our Sewage Damage Restoration Process


1.svg

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.

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

Jonathan was an ultimate professional and was incredibly knowledgeable about the entire process. He took time to answer questions and make us comfortable about the water damage (we had a one week old in the house!) Sam and Julian did great work and were quick to mitigate the mold risk we had and left our place clean and ready for the repair work to start. Would definitely recommend.

Dillon did a fabulous job of coordinating things. He made the process of dealing with a leak in the house and subsequent damage seamless for me. His team- Reggie, Juan and Julian were incredibly thorough- super conscious of keeping the area contained to avoid spreading dust/mold/etc. around the house. I am so grateful for how efficient and conscientious they were. Dillon was also very mindful of the dogs and kids and made sure that the process would be minimally disruptive to them which I truly appreciated. I would definitely recommend them again.

Unfortunate events seem to occur at the worst possible times. In the case of my home, I was out of the country when water from an upstairs bathroom leaked into the ceiling and walls resulting in a fair amount of water damage to the kitchen below. A call to SERVPRO of Boston while I was overseas connected me with project manager Jonathan, who responded immediately on-site to inspect and assess the damage. Jonathan communicated with me throughout the process, even considering time-zone differences, and made all necessary arrangements to contain the damage and coordinate the work needed to remedy the situation. Crew chief Hector and technician Silvio performed all work expeditiously and to the highest of standards to prepare the affected areas for my plumbing and building contractors to complete their work properly and safely. The level of service and quality of work I received from Jonathan, Hector, and Silvio were exemplary, and their professionalism and courtesy distinguish them from others in the industry. I recommend with the highest of confidence and enthusiasm.

I worked with Jonathan, Ricardo and Jose after my condo flooded and they did an amazing job. They were very professional and friendly, explained everything they were doing and kept me updated every step of the way. They had to tear up the floor boards and remove a wall, and did everything quickly and thoughtfully and cleaned up afterwards. I would highly recommend them!

I can't say enough about the SERVPRO Boston team!  I did not know that I was flooded until 8pm at night when I went downstairs to do a load of laundry.  From the time that I called SERVPRO Boston, to the time that I had a returned call was less than 15 minutes! I have never had such follow thru. Jose and his partner arrived on time, were neat, professional, considerate and fast. I actually fell asleep while they we working - that's  how comfortable I felt! I went from not knowing what to do to falling asleep! Jake followed up all along the way and made sure that I was happy and comfortable with the work and the process.
I cloudless not hesitate to call SERVPRO Boston again and recommend them highly!

I would highly recommend SERVPRO. Nicholas B. came out to assess the area of water damage in my home – he was extremely thorough, professional, and was able to provide me an estimate in a timely manner. A few days later, Eric and Hery came out to begin the work. They were very nice and explained the entire process (even warned me before starting the vacuum as to not scare my dog). I would highly recommend them to anyone!

SERVPRO was responsive and professional when we discovered significant water damage in our Boston condo. Johnathan walked us through every step of the project and expertly managed his team, Jose and Franklin. After being blown off my multiple contractors, SERVPRO was out to our home in no time and put me in touch with a great contractor. We were very happy with the services provided and would highly recommend SERVPRO.

Cam and his crew were very professional and courteous from the beginning to the end of the project. SERVPRO went beyond what I was expecting, just extremely thorough. Thank you all for making the outcome, of my devastating situation, a pleasant experience.
