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.

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

Servepro of Central Manhattan did a great job drying up our wood floors after a leak. They responded very quickly. Our technician was Nick, and he was excellent: very friendly, courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. He explained each step and returned repeatedly throughout the process to check on progress and adjust the equipment. Some of the equipment wasn’t working correctly at first (otherwise I would have given 5 stars). But Nick swapped that out and got the job done properly.

Great job by Harold Diaz y Edward Finley.

Cliff Velasquez

Prompt service, they were in and out in about a half hour. Harold set up all the equipment in my basement to dry it out after it flooded from the rain and also disinfected the floors and walls leaving it smelling much better.

Juan Gutierrez was our project pro. He put us at ease after the initial shock of having water in our apartment. Juan was very knowledgeable and explained the mediation process and he followed up by phone and in- person at least 3 times. He was patient and on time for all appointments. I Highly recommend.

Heather Sherman

Mr Gutierrez and his staff were careful and thorough and always quick to respond to texts and emails. They did a great job.
