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.

Dear Carrie Fanelli,

This thank you email message, also intended as an appreciation email, is expressing my sincere appreciation for the outstanding services rendered at my home for water and flood damage during the week of August 17, 2021. I was in desperate need of emergency water damage cleanup services for removal of water from wet carpeting and other water damage mishaps in my finished basement. Your company responded quickly with trained and certified technicians to begin water extraction, structural dry-down and mold remediation and restoration to reduce the water damage and help restore my peace of mind.

I sincerely appreciate your efficient, gracious customer service, the level of detail and accountability demonstrated to my project, and just the way you conduct business as a whole. I was extremely pleased with the professional manner of your Water Damage Specialist team. Awesome. Over my 40 or so years in business, I have come to recognize and appreciate the characteristics that make employees exceptional such as friendly, supportive, responsibility, courtesy, honesty, good manners and respect and I consider your team exceptional with a little something extra.

Thank you once again for the quality of service provided by your company.  I will highly recommend SERVPRO at the Oak Park/Ferndale location to other companies and contacts and friends.

Sincerely,



Zelma

We were fortunate to have SERVPRO on our side during the June 26th sewer drain back up! We had just renovated out basement and lost everything! The crew that came out was extremely knowledgeable and professional! The worked long hours to remove our flooring, cut drywall, test and cut plaster, sanitize and dry out our basement. They were punctual, patient and very easy to work with! I highly recommend SERVPRO! Our team of Dan, Brennan and Gino were amazing and I cannot thank these guys enough! The owner Carrie is outstanding! I appreciate everything you did for us during the disaster!

10/10. Highly recommend! Recently, I had two water leaks a month apart and SERVPRO saved my bamboo floor – and my sanity. Both times, the water saturated the same area and leaked through the basement ceiling. The fact that the floor survived two floods is a testament to SERVPRO's restoration expertise and customer care. I cannot say enough great things about Mike B, Eric, Hugh, Carrie and everyone else that helped me. From the first phone call to the final walk through, they were kind, communicative and professional every step the way. They also made the insurance claim process a breeze. Thank you SERVPRO for treating my home as if it were your own – and for making a stressful situation as worry-free as can be. You're truly the best of the best.
