Steps in Our Sewage Damage Restoration Process

Sewage Removal & Contamination Control

Sewage backup emergencies carry viruses and bacteria that cause serious illnesses. Our SERVPRO professionals will address immediate hazards and stabilize the affected area. We clean up sewage spills and biohazards using specialized equipment and training, thoroughly and safely from start to finish.

Sanitization and Deodorization

Using our meticulous state-of-the-art protocols, our team of experts ensures that your home or building is safe and thoroughly clean. After sanitization, advanced equipment helps us find and eliminate any hidden moisture, so you know your structure is dry.

Restoration

In the last phase, SERVPRO repairs any structural damage and returns your property to its previous condition. Before the space is cleared for re-entry, we’ll conduct a final inspection to make sure the area is safe, clean, and ready for you to return.

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

The purpose of this letter is to notify you of the pleasure we had in dealing with this specific crew, during a very stressful and sad event for us and our family. Deb did a thorough job of explaining everything to us, and answering all of our panic ridden questions. Their respect for us and our relatively new home offered us a sense of comfort that was much needed as this. They worked extremely hard, without complaints and very few breaks. They accomplished these tasks with as little added mess as possible, and were extremely efficient.

We can’t reiterate enough, what relief and hope they extended to us. They are wonderful people, with a deep sense of determination to help others. This is our first emergency of this kind, involving our home, and its consequences. We ask that you recognize this team, particularly Deb and Kris, who allowed us to see “light at the end of the tunnel”. At a very dark time in our lives as a homeowner. We can’t say enough grateful and respectful things about them. Thank you for responding to our sudden needs, with such a great dedicated crew!  We hope we will never have a need for your services again. Nut they are always welcome to stop by to say HI, and see our reconstructed basement that we can partially contribute to their heartfelt effort.

Buffy, Bob, and Dan were all great!

The crew members, (Derek, Kris, and Chris), could not have been more professional than what I experienced. They explained all procedures in simple terms. They were very neat about their work. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone. I was somewhat challenged in my personal knowledge of the problem that occurred at the water damage. They sensed my situation and reactions and were very calm in re-assuring me that I was “In SERVPRO hands."

The workers were terrific and courteous just all around good guys.

We called Kelly at 6:00pm and she had a crew here by 8:00pm. She was here to oversee the job until 1:30am and showed up the next day to check the progress. Very impressed with the work and the service provided by the whole staff that was involved(Buffy, Kris, Derek, Aaron, and Kelly).

Chris was entirely helpful, giving me confidence to proceed.
The estimate was warmly received, and speaks well of your promise to make it "as if it never even happened."
Seriously, Chris made all the difference. Before he came, I was flailing in every possible direction. With his experienced and knowledgeable visit, all that became entirely manageable. What could be more helpful than that?

Thank you, Serve Pro, sincerely. Thank you, Chris, in particular, for making me get back in charge of my home!

I really feel that the team, (Deb, Kris, Derek, Chris), you sent went above and beyond the call of duty, I was led to believe that everything would be good when they left, not only was it good, but the team actually showed real concern for our issues. This in hand is rare in business anymore. I hope this never happens again but if it does I will call your helpful staff.
