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 Lake of the Ozarks 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.

Edward Tober

We are very happy with the cleanup of our car’s interior after a garage fire. We had a car window open and soot settled in the car. They removed the soot and the smoke smell and were courteous and professional. Jeremy did an outstanding job.

Jennifer Gladbach

We had an absolutely stellar and excellent experience with Dylan Sanders, Project Mgr, at ServPro of the Lake of the Ozarks. Dylan handled our water mitigation issues as a result of a tree crashing through our roof & ceiling during a tornado/huge storm. His professionalism, experience, and knowledge was top notch. Dylan was so respectful and responsive to our needs and an excellent communicator. We never had to “wonder” where he was or where we were in the process of getting the water damage mitigated. We cannot say enough positive things about Dylan and ServPro of the Lake of the Ozarks. Dylan & ServPro made what would normally be a horrendous experience and turned it into a very calm situation, putting our worries at ease. Thank you ever so much, Dylan & ServPro for the outstanding and phenomenal service you gave us. Top notch!!!

Servpro is one of those companies you hope you never have to call, but when you do, you are incredibly thankful they're there. After a tree went through my mom's house, they responded with both compassion and urgency from the very first phone call. They got to work immediately, which gave us some much-needed peace of mind during a stressful time. Our technician, Dylan, was absolutely amazing. He kept me informed every step of the way, took the time to answer all of my questions, and genuinely listened to our concerns. He made an overwhelming situation so much easier to navigate. What really stood out was that Dylan went above and beyond by connecting me with Servpro's project manager to help coordinate the additional services we needed. That extra effort made a huge difference. I would absolutely recommend Dylan and the Servpro team to anyone who finds themselves in the unfortunate position of needing restoration services. When you're dealing with a disaster, the last thing you need is more stress—you need knowledgeable, compassionate people who will guide you through the process. Dylan did exactly that, and I'm truly grateful for everything he did.
