Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

Sewage backups demand immediate action. Beyond the odor and visible mess, contaminated water can spread quickly through flooring, walls, and insulation. Left untreated, it leads to escalating damage, higher repair costs, and serious health concerns. That’s why SERVPRO of New Bern prioritizes fast response to get mitigation started right away.

Our crews use specialized extraction, cleaning, and drying methods designed for hazardous water situations. We not only remove visible contamination but also address hidden moisture and odors that can linger. By acting quickly, we help limit long-term damage and make the restoration process more efficient.

Dealing with sewage damage often means navigating an insurance claim at the same time. Our team is experienced in working with carriers and adjusters to document the damage clearly and provide the information needed to keep your claim moving. That way, you can focus on getting your property back in order while we handle both the cleanup and the paperwork support.

When sewage disrupts your home or business, SERVPRO of New Bern delivers the speed, expertise, and insurance coordination needed to restore safety and peace of mind.

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.

customers are saying

Justin and Ed were just awesome. They responded to my emergency promptly and efficiently set up their equipment for the flooding in my garage. They were also very respectful, courteous, and professional. I would call these guys anytime in the future for the type of work they provided. Thank you guys!

We recently had a very pleasant experience with SERVPRO following a major water leak in our two-story home. They arrived on time the day after we had 5 rooms heavily impacted by water damage, with fans and dehumidifiers to get the drying process started. They worked closely with us to explain their clean-up process, and what we should expect over the next week or so. They were at our house, on time, every day for the next 6 days to monitor the dampness and to perform the demo work required to prepare the house for repairs. They worked with the insurance company's field appraiser in his assessment, who agreed with all the repairs recommended by the SERVPRO team. Paul and Jake were very courteous, informative, and respectful of our time. We would recommend this company to anyone!

The anxiety that comes with a flooded home can be extremely devastating, not only emotionally but physically as well. When our home recently was flooded by a kitchen faucet failure, SERVPRO arrived immediately and began mitigating the water and drying out our residence. Their expertise and knowledge of corrective procedures saved our home.. The staff and crews were exceptional; polite and thorough in their service.  Thank you all for your professional, fantastic and gratifying service. We are so thankful for SERVPRO's Professional Services.
