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.
What our
customers are saying
I cannot recommend SERVPRO of East Meck. /Matthews Charlotte highly enough. We returned from a vacation to a massive plumbing leak that devastated our master bathroom. SERVPRO was recommended by our insurers, and had done some work in our neighborhood so we immediately thought of them. The team immediately jumped on the project, using their resources to stop the damage, remove the damaged components (which was completely everything) and used very high tech drying equipment to remediate the damage. We think so much of their work that we are planning to use them for replacement and new construction to get the bathroom back to where it needs to be. A++ for SERVPRO.
You guys were knowledgeable and professional throughout the whole process. Thanks so much!
