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.

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.
