Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

Sewage Cleanup in Shared Buildings Gets Complicated

A toilet overflow, sewer backup, or drain issue in an Upper West Side apartment can affect more than one room. In buildings with stacked plumbing, shared walls, basement storage, and busy management offices, contaminated water can move quickly into flooring, trim, and nearby materials. That is not a “spray cleaner and hope” kind of situation.

SERVPRO® provides sewage cleanup for homeowners, tenants, co-op boards, property managers, and commercial spaces that need careful cleanup and clear communication.

A Careful Process for Dirty Water

Sewage water can contain contaminants, so cleanup needs to go beyond removing what you can see. SERVPRO can remove standing water, clean and sanitize affected surfaces, dispose of damaged porous materials when needed, and dry the area after cleanup. Moisture mapping means checking where water may have traveled behind walls, under flooring, or into building materials.

The owner and production manager, Jonathan, are IICRC certified, and office manager Jazmin is EPA certified. That training supports practical decisions during cleanup, drying, containment, and communication with building representatives.

SERVPRO can assist with:

  • Sewage water removal
  • Cleaning and sanitizing
  • Odor concerns
  • Moisture checks
  • Damaged material removal

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.

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

I wasn't sure who could dry my flooded basement but am glad I found SERVPRO of the Upper West Side. Ben gave me an estimate that same day and more helpful than I ever expected.  My basement was completely dry and back to normal within the week. I'm very thankful I found them because their service was great.

My Kitchen flooded in the middle of the night... at 1am - SERVPRO picked up the phone immediately when I called. Then, they were immediately on-site with equipment - total pros. They came back for insurance walk-through, having digital readouts of everything and backup for claims. Negotiating with agents became a non-issue with this level of documentation and data. Well done.

I heard about SERVPRO from a work friend. He said you were professional and thorough, and he was right. Impressed with the moisture detection work that made sure all the water was gone.

My kids overflowed the bathtub while I was cooking dinner. Not only did your crew come FAST, they were so patient with my little helpers, AKA my twin sons.

Rita N.

I called in the wee hours about a leaky toilet. I can’t say enough about SERVPRO. Here fast and with a great attitude about a nasty job. I'll never use anyone else.

Natalie F.
Upper West Side

SERVPRO of Upper West Side was great! Water flooded my living room after a sudden downpour and I couldn't keep it from flooding in. From the office person answering my phone call, to the workers who immediately came out, everyone was helpful and told me exactly what to expect. I highly recommend them to anyone who asks! 

Timothy G

I was amazed by the speed of SERVPRO's response. With so many people in our building affected by the storm I thought I’d wait days for an appointment. A PERSON answered the phone after midnight and a crew was out before daybreak.

Andre S.
Upper West Side

I was worried about how the water could be removed when the storm took out the power. SERVPRO uses truck-mounted equipment and generators. Fast service and water out before I knew it. Brilliant!

I could not believe the damage done when water from the roof drainage system got between my walls. I never would have found the water on my own. Your employees know their stuff and scanned for hidden water, and got rid of it, too.
