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.

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.

What our
customers are saying

We were nothing but impressed with how efficient and neat SERVPRO was as areas on three floors had to be removed, cleaned, and dried out. The quality of work was much appreciated, in what was a hectic time for us after the damage was discovered.

An amazing team came in quickly and did a fantastic job of clean up and assessing the damage. So grateful!

My agent referred SERVPRO to handle my flooded kitchen. The team was prompt, friendly, and thorough. They did exactly what they said they would. I recommend Randy & his team if you find yourself in a similar situation!

Every aspect of working with SERVPRO S. & NW GR was fantastic. They came out quickly with the right equipment for 17ft ceilings in a residential unit. They calmed all the nerves that come with water damage, they even investigated a separate incident and discovered mold left by a different water mitigation company (yeah neighbors were leaking into our unit). They quickly did tear out, grinding, and chemical treatments for the entire area. I could trust they really investigated and that I would have no worries moving forward. They went above and beyond with the best attitude along the way. With multiple days of checking to see if everything was drying properly the bill was surprisingly low.

SERVPRO of Southwest and North West Grand Rapids took care of my Grandma's house when her hot water tank leaked. I was very happy with how quickly they came out, how well they explained things, and how thoroughly the job was done. She truly felt like they were taking care of her. Thank you to the whole team.

We had water damage in our home due to a faulty part on our dishwasher. Jakob and Austin arrived the same day we called and quickly got the area opened up and dried out. Rick and Dante came by the next day to make sure the fans and dehumidifiers were doing their jobs. And Rick came by for the next few days to reposition fans and check moisture levels. The crew were all friendly and professional. I would recommend this SERVPRO location to anyone. Thank you SERVPRO.

We had flooding in our basement. The SERVPRO team responded to my early morning call immediately, removed the water, cataloged the damage for my insurance, and likely saved me from more severe mold damage. They were kind and professional throughout and eased our minds during a stressful time. I cannot recommend them enough.

Rick was an excellent project manager. He returned daily to monitor humidity and alter our dehumidifying strategy as needed. I’ll always appreciate his help.

Our hot water heater broke down and we woke up to water soaked carpet in our finished lower level. SERVPRO came out and took care of our problem and saved us from more damage. We were very pleased with their great service.
