Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

Water from sewer system backups is unsanitary and may contain bacteria and viruses. Special training and equipment are necessary to safely clean this type of contamination. 

There are three major types of contaminated water. SERVPRO of Columbia will inspect the contaminated water to determine the type of water and then plan the appropriate response to safely restore your home or business. 

Category 1: "Clean Water" 

This is water from a clean source, such as a broken water supply line or faucet. If left untreated, category 1 water can quickly degrade into category 2 or 3 water depending on temperature and contact with contaminants. 

Category 2: "Gray Water" 

This water has a significant level of contamination that could cause discomfort or illness if ingested. Sources for category 2 water may include washing machine overflow, toilet overflow with some urine, but no feces, or dishwasher overflow. 

Category 3: "Black Water" 

This water is grossly unsanitary and could cause severe illness or death if ingested, and any contact should be avoided. Sources for category 3 water could include flooding from rivers or streams, water from beyond the toilet trap, water from the toilet bowl with feces, or standing water that has begun to support microbial growth.

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

I had a lot of water damage when the water softener on 2nd floor overflowed when I was not at home. I pulled into the garage to water on the floor. Inside the kitchen, water was on the floor and dripping from a vent and light fixtures. Also it was dripping off the crown molding on the cabinets. Upstairs, water was running over the drip pan and was on the carpet. After talking with the insurance adjuster, I contacted SERVPRO. They came the next day! I appreciated Ben who came to evaluate the situation. He sent Dallas (crew chief) and Garrett to set up fans and dehumidifiers in all of the water affected areas. Those 2 guys did a great job! They were careful, polite, and encouraging that they would take care of everything. They even moved my boxes of Christmas decorations out of the garage space that had water. They got all the areas dried up in a few days. When they took the equipment away, they even cleaned the floor and counters. They were true professionals!

Oompah Bryan

An unfortunate circumstance of flooding in our home after business hours, led us to SERVPRO of Columbia North. The crew was to our home in no time working till 1am to mitigate the damages. They returned the next morning, ready to work. They cleaned and cleared out anything that was damaged. We were kept informed throughout the entire process. Our crew consisted of : Ben, Garrett, David, Rick and Dallas. Each of them professional, and hard working. They understood snd addressed our concerns. Our items were handled with care - and our pups got some nice attention too. We never wish flood damage on anyone, but if it happens, SERVEPRO will help ease the stress. They were a pleasure to work with.
