Steps in Our Sewage Damage Restoration Process

Sewage Removal & Contamination Control

We clean up sewage spills and biohazards using specialized equipment and training, thoroughly and safely from start to finish.

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.

We thoroughly document the damage and communicate clearly with you and your insurance throughout the process.

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

"My insurance company recommended SERVPRO, and they were excellent. They were timely in their response, worked with my schedule, were very thorough and professional, and worked diligently and efficiently while on site. I appreciated their heads-up phone calls when they were on their way to my home and their clear explanation of exactly what they were going to do. They checked on their drying equipment daily until it was complete. They cleaned up after themselves, leaving me in a position where my contractor could now begin the repairs. This is the second time I've used SERVPRO, and I have no reservations about recommending them."

"I had SERVPRO come in to a house I inherited and all our communications were done via email or phone calls. The services were wonderful and with Allen Alewine as the manager of the services I had no fears the work wouldn't be done correctly the first time. I immediately trusted Allen in our first conversation."

We had water damage to our kitchen and laundry room. We were very upset when the flooring started to turn black. So, we called SERVPRO of Elizabeth City/Outer Banks. They came ready to do their job - clean up the mess. They were fast, experienced and polite. They explained what was going to happen in our house and set out to accomplish the task as fast as possible. We were very impressed by their knowledge and got to work ripping out the floor. They were always polite and cleaned up the mess that was made. What should have taken a month lasted almost three months. This was NOT SERVPRO's fault. The flooring we wanted to replace the old one with was on back order. It took over a month to get the flooring and have it installed. This detail was out of their control. So when all was said and done, we were VERY pleased with the results. I can’t say enough about the professionalism SERVPRO showed us. When the job was finally completed, it really was "Like it never even happened." I would use SERVPRO of Elizabeth City/OBX again but hope we don’t have another problem. Thank you, SERVPRO!
