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.

What our
customers are saying

Lightening recently hit our house. 

Storm and flood damage can be devastating. Immediate action is needed, and you need the company with storm damage experience.

We needed a company who specialize in water and storm damage restoration.  We were told our local SERVPRO Franchise Professionals have extensive water damage restoration training that enables them to get you back to normal.

We had SERVPRO of Woolwich peform our emergency board up services, and the drying and cleaning up.

We also had them perform the demo and reconstruction portion of the project.

Thank you very much to this local company, and we will refer this local company to our friend and family.

We had Lightening damage and our kitchen caught fire.

This SERVPRO Woolwich took care of my difficult and stressful property issue.  Not only were they extremely professional and respectful of my situation and feelings, but they were the most cautious and informative I've ever seen in a cleanup crew. Although I haven't had much experience with cleanup companies, I feel like they were definitely qualified for the job. 

They took all the proper steps needed to make sure everything ran smoothly and safely for us and for them.

The production manager treated me and my family like he would his own, this made me feel even more at ease after such a stressful loss.

I recently had Storm damage in my house. SERVPRO of Washington Woolwich came to help board up broken windows. 

The crew leader came in with a thermal camera and showed me where it was wet. The water had gone much further than I first thought.

After getting a game plan together, the crew got started.  Great Job, and Thank YOU very much!

We had a major storm come thru our area with High Winds, Rain, and lots of Thunderstorms with lightning.  Our house had major damage to the roof, chimney, gutters, and windows.

I just wanted to let you know how impressed I was with the technicians that were sent to handle the Board up, cleaning, and drying out.

The were very thorough, and explained the entire process to me.  They took extra time to make sure they kept the moldy waste taken out of my house away from my children's play area, and to make sure nothing was left behind when they left.  They even double checked a closet that I had forgotten to look in to make sure there was no mold in there.

I know you usually only hear when an employee makes a mistake - but these gentlemen should be praised for their attention to detail and the care they showed in my home.

We had storm damage to our house, with Shingles blown, roof deck damage and tree branches falling onto roof and broken windows. 

All disaster restoration companies are not alike SERVPRO in general some of us who have been in disaster restoration for many years do a great job and are worth calling.

I for example have used the SERVPRO of Washington Woolwich numerous times for basement floodings. I feel like not enough people give credit where it’s due. I would highly recommend this company and I will continue to be a customer of theirs.

The SERVPRO crew from WASHINGTON / WOOLWICH New Jersey was amazing.

Our basement flooded with sewage from a toilet back up.

Mold was growing in the basement. The crew and project manager created containment and also completed the cleaning and remediation and the reconstruction.

Not only were these guys super friendly and responsive, they explained exactly what needed to be done and then they got the job done quickly and painlessly. I would highly recommend them for anything!

Some items we did learn about were

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
  • Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or on a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. 

Thank your company for great customer service!

We had storm damage After coming back from a week vacation, we discovered that our washer hose burst.  Mold was found and odor was all over our basement.  

We had no idea what to do or who to call. A good friend suggested we call SERVPRO of Washington/Woolwich so we did.

They set up containment, with Poly plastic, and sealed off the area.

Then they placed big air scrubbers, and containment. They came back each day to check on the drying process. They took lots of pictures and helped us through the whole process.

I cannot begin to thank them enough for all they did for us. I would recommend SERVPRO of Washington/Woolwich to anyone I know.

The SERVPRO crew from WASHINGTON / WOOLWICH New Jersey was amazing. Our basement flooded with sewage during the big  storm  last summer when our whole block flooded. Mold was growing in the basement. The crew and project manager created containment and also completed the cleaning and remediation and the reconstruction.



Not only were these guys super friendly and responsive, they explained exactly what needed to be done and then they got the job done quickly and painlessly. I would highly recommend them for anything!

My house had a Sewage back up, with mold growing in my basement and naturally I called my insurance company. They told me to call SERVPRO Woolwich. A crew came out QUICK! They were at my home in less than an hour, and what a relief. The crew performed the clean up and Mold remediation, and also the reconstruction.

They were very polite, always on time, and always followed through with what we discussed. Everything was a mess but they truly made it "Like it never even happened."

I would call again, and would refer them to any friends and family.
