Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

Sewage Cleanup Needs a Careful Plan

A floor drain backs up in a basement. A toilet overflow reaches the hallway flooring. A sewer line problem leaves contaminated water where your family, tenants, employees, or customers should not have to step around it. That is not a “grab the mop and hope for the best” kind of cleanup.

In Putnam County, homes and businesses near wooded roads, lake communities, and the Croton Falls Reservoir area can deal with aging plumbing, heavy rain, and lower-level moisture issues. SERVPRO provides sewage cleanup with a focus on safe handling, clear communication, and practical next steps.

More Than Removing the Water

Sewage cleanup may involve extracting contaminated water, removing affected porous materials, cleaning hard surfaces, and addressing odors. Porous materials, such as carpet padding, drywall, or insulation, may not be salvageable once contaminated. SERVPRO checks the affected area carefully so the cleanup plan matches the materials and the source of the problem.

The process can also include containment, air filtration, and drying equipment. Containment means separating the work area from unaffected rooms, similar to closing the kitchen door before frying bacon so the whole house does not smell like breakfast.

Support After a Messy Backup

A sewage issue can disrupt a home, rental, office, or commercial space quickly. SERVPRO helps property owners in Putnam County understand what needs to be cleaned, removed, dried, or repaired.

What To Do When Sewage Damage Happens

A sewage emergency is both unexpected and overwhelming.

Planning for a sewage emergency is probably the last thing on any homeowner’s mind. However, sewage damage can happen to anyone, in any home, at any time.

Knowing what to do in those first few moments can help protect your home and health. Here are some recommended steps from SERVPRO.

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

We used SERVEPRO of Putnam County to clean the basement of our home in Bedford Hills before putting it on the market. My family and I lived in the house for 24 years, and the basement had become our main storage area. It took us a couple of weeks to sort through everything, throwing away or hauling the majority to the town dump. While the finished half of the basement was fine, the unfinished side was a mess and would not have shown well to prospective buyers. My wife contacted Stephanie Bellofatto, Director of Commercial and Residential Accounts for the company to inspect the basement and provide an estimate. Stephanie was extremely knowledgeable and professional. She let us know exactly what the job entailed and when everything was going to be done. Her follow up was great! I highly recommend SERVEPRO of Putnam County. The team is honest, hardworking, great to deal with, and very good at what they do.

Dan Campbell

When a condensate line in our attic cracked, it caused extensive water damage throughout our home. What started in the attic ruined insulation, damaged the ceiling and walls of our second-floor office, destroyed carpeting, affected furniture and electronics, damaged hardwood flooring in our master bedroom closet, and even leaked into our kitchen below. I contacted Stephanie, and from that moment forward, her team was exceptional. Over the course of a week, multiple crews worked diligently to mitigate the damage. They carefully moved furniture, protected our ceramic tile, hardwood stairs, and hallway floors, removed damaged sheetrock and carpeting, and set up dehumidifiers and air movers throughout the affected areas. Every step of the process was handled with professionalism and care. What impressed me most was their attention to detail and commitment to doing the job correctly. They didn't simply dry what was visible and move on. They returned regularly to monitor moisture levels and, when their equipment indicated that the hardwood flooring in our closet was not drying properly, they immediately took action. They carefully packed our clothing into garment boxes, removed the affected flooring, and continued the drying process to ensure no hidden moisture remained. Their communication was outstanding. They always called before arriving, explained exactly what they would be doing, kept us informed of next steps, documented everything thoroughly, and worked directly with our insurance adjuster by providing photographs and damage reports. Having experienced water damage in a previous home, I've unfortunately seen how these situations can be mishandled. This experience was the complete opposite. Every employee we encountered was professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and genuinely concerned about helping us through a difficult situation. Having major water damage in your home is like needing surgery—you never want to be in that position, but when you are, you're grateful for skilled professionals who know exactly what they're doing. Having the right people helping you through it can make all the difference. Stephanie and her team turned an unpleasant situation into a remarkably smooth and reassuring experience. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone facing water damage or needing remediation services.

Arthur Cerrati

The entire Servpro team is stellar from Stephanie who coordinated over a weekend to Scott who came first thing to inspect to Holly who managed the schedule and the team who came the next day to get started on the clean up and remediation. We discovered a sewage leak with a bio-hazardous situation in our crawl space and Servopro team lived to their tag line - "it is like it never happened". They were prompt, courteous, efficient and super responsive. I would highly recommend anyone considering their services.

Servpro was excellent. Fast courteous service. For something that happens unexpectedly call servpro.

James Lavoie

When I had a burst pipe in my home, I called ServPro Putnam for remediation of water damage. I worked with Stephanie Bellofatto and she was fantastic! She helped coordinate everything and I had a team at my house the next day and they handled all the insurance work for me. Very professional and timely. They setup all the equipment, dried out my home and inspected for any water/mold damage that we couldn't see. After the remediation, they made sure the house was dry and that there was no further damage or mold. Highly recommend ServPro of Putnam and make sure you ask for Stephanie!

Company responded in a flash and did a thorough and professional job. If I could give them more than a 5 star rating I would

Marty Walsh

I am a Real Estate Broker active in Westchester, Putnam, Duchess, Rockland & Orange counties. I have worked with Stephanie Bellofatto for several years and have recommended Serv Pro of Putnam on several occasions. Most recently I recommended them to my client to remediate a mold situation in his house. From beginning to end their team is professional, understands not only the work that needs to be done, but how to do it and at a fair and reasonable price. Do not hesitate to call them. I'm sure you will be pleased with their work.

Dennis Goodhart

In times of turmoil it is good to know that there are well run professional organizations available to help you. My Allstate Insurance Agent, Marabelle Brenes recommended Servpro to aid in the cleanup resulting from a clogged trap. My initial contact was Stephanie Bellafatto who handled all the organization and coordination from initial review with Justin to preparation for cleanup. Justin was professional and clear in the explanation of what to expect. The 3 gentlemen who did the cleanup , Matt,Carlos and Tommy were professional, courteous and excellent in their work The area was left clean and well prepped. Matt explained exactly what was done for clarity. My expectations were clearly surpassed and I recommend this organization without reservation.

Kathleen J Zazza

Can’t not say enough good things about this company ! Of course we discovered our leak and mold condition after hours and called their answering service. Within minutes we were contacted by one of the owners, Lisa. She was wonderful and said she would have one of her technicians over in the morning. Zach arrived at 8 am and met with our insurance adjuster and came up with a game plan. He explained everything to us and what they would be doing. When the workers arrived the next day they found much more mold than was expected, Zach handled everything !! He was our liaison with the insurance adjuster explaining everything that was found and all the additional work that was needed. Two days of demolition and almost two weeks of mold and water remediation later the job was complete. They removed all contaminated materials and left our home clean and ready for remodeling. Constant communication between us and our insurance company by Zach made this awful situation much easier and assured we received full compensation from our insurance. I would recommend Servpro of Putnam County to anyone needing any type of clean up and would not use any other company to guarantee the work is done properly and safely ! Please see the before and after pictures. Thank You very much Mike and Cara

About Us

Local Restoration With a Practical Plan

A property problem can make an ordinary day feel very crowded. You may be dealing with wet flooring, smoke odor, mold concerns, storm damage, or a room that needs repairs before life or business can get back to normal. Having one team explain the process in plain English can make the next step feel much easier.

In Putnam County, homes near Mahopac, older properties around Cold Spring, businesses along Route 6, and lake-area buildings each come with their own cleanup and restoration needs. SERVPRO helps local homeowners, property managers, and business owners respond to damage with steady guidance and organized service.

What SERVPRO Helps Restore

SERVPRO provides water damage restoration, fire damage restoration, mold remediation, storm cleanup, specialty cleaning, contents support, and construction services. The work may include extracting water, drying materials, cleaning smoke residue, removing damaged materials, deodorizing affected spaces, or repairing areas after mitigation.

Mitigation simply means taking steps to limit the damage before repairs begin. Think of it as stopping the sink from overflowing before mopping the floor. Both steps matter, but the order makes a big difference.

Property damage is stressful enough without confusing explanations or scattered next steps. SERVPRO helps property owners in Putnam County understand what happened, what can be addressed, and how the restoration process may move forward.
