Steps in Our Sewage Damage Restoration Process
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.
Simplifying Insurance
We make insurance claims easier, with fewer headaches for you. We handle the details and coordinate any paperwork, so you can focus on moving forward.
We thoroughly document the damage and communicate clearly with you and your insurance throughout the process.
Your insurance provider trusts SERVPRO to respond quickly — we address sewage issues swiftly to control costs, prevent further damage, and keep the insurance process moving smoothly.
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.
My property manager discovered a spraying coffee machine water line that ran all weekend. What a mess. SERVPRO responded on a Sunday afternoon to suck it up and start drying structure. We were able to operate in our clubhouse Monday morning. Thanks guys.
A 100 ft. tree fell on my roof in a wind storm. SERVPRO found someone to remove it and they put on a tarp to keep water out.
Thanks to Chris Homer for getting me on track to fixing the roof. Great level of service.
High winds blew so much rain against my house it flooded my basement. Terrible storm. SERVPRO came out right away and made things right. Sent a good crew.
We came home to a flooded house after vacation. What a shock. SERVPRO had left some contact information which came in very handy. We never thought the river would actually get into our house. Thanks for reaching out SERVPRO.
Our home was flooded by the St. Joseph River. SERVPRO waded through deep water to see if and when we needed help saving our home. Their advise and hard work helped us dry out and sanitize.
We have a sump pump in our basement without a backup battery or generator. The wind storm knocked out power to the area and our basement flooded. SERVPRO came out within an hour and worked late. Thanks
Our school had an environmental hygienist test some cabinets in a classroom for mold. Sure enough, it came back positive and needed remediation. We called SERVPRO (our restoration company) and they followed the written protocol. The post test came back negative.
Once again, Good job SERVPRO!
Recent river flooding saturated the floor joists in our crawlspace. We were afraid they would get mold and called SERVPRO. They replaced our vapor barrier and sprayed antimicrobial on all the wood floor and joists.
Thank you SERVPRO for doing that difficult job.
One of my rentals had a toilet with a long term drain line leak. Black mold grew in the closet behind the toilet. SERVPRO had us test it and they cleaned it up perfectly. It passed the post test.
They have helped me with rental units many times. Always fast and professional. Thanks SERVPRO
