Steps in Our Sewage Damage Restoration Process

Sewage Removal & Contamination Control

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.

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

Your friendly staff answered the phone call on the second ring, and was a true professional when he showed up on time to assess my damaged bathroom from an unfortunate bathtub incident. The estimate was worked out with my insurance and I couldn't be happier with the repair. Thanks Again!

When St Louis experienced a huge storm the rain storm busted through one of my windows the water started soaking my carpet and the walls. I thought everything in the room would be a total loss, and would cost me a lot of money. However, when I called your team they were able to salvage more than I expected and did not take my bank account to the cleaners for the repair work on my water damage. So thanks! I really do appreciate all the help you team provided me.

We had a washer over flow into basement. We contacted Kevin and his SERVPRO team arrived with equipment, sucked up the water and set drying equipment. After a few days all the moisture in basement was eliminated. We were concerned with mold since there was a lot of water. SERVPRO exceeded our expectations and was great to work with.
