Steps in Our Sewage Damage Restoration Process

Sewage Removal & Contamination Control

We clean up sewage spills and biohazards using specialized equipment and training, thoroughly and safely from start to finish.

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.

SERVPRO did a great job! They made a very stressful time so much easier to deal with. I recommend them highly.

We had a great experience working with SERVPRO. The estimator arrived on a Saturday and was very pleasant to work with. Our basement had flooded and we were worried about not being able to find anyone on the weekend. SERVPRO arrived within a few hours and helped removed all the bags of unwanted items with no hesitation. Our family was very happy to see how helpful they were with removing the water in a timely manner. We appreciate their quick response and team effort. I would definitely recommend this team of professionals.

I want to comment on how responsive you were and the professional and friendly service from Kevin. Should we ever have any problems in the future, I would definitely use SERVPRO. 

Bill

We had huge rains and flooding in Southern Maine. My elderly parents were panicked when their basement flooded. We called SERVPRO and they were literally here the next morning. It seemed like a miracle! So many families needed help with flooding. The SERVPRO technician carefully inspected for damage, explained the recommended repairs, and provided options. Gotta love a local company with a heart.

Coming home to find a water logged basement is the worst! But knowing the good people from SERVPRO are there to help is the best. The team came right over within a day and set up their equipment immediately. They were polite, efficient and always communicated exactly what they were doing and when. The billing was seamless and their estimate was accurate. I could not have been happier with the service I received. They definitely take the stress out of a stressful situation.
