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

I had an excellent experience with your company. After flooding to my rental property, you went above and beyond in a very emergency situation. My rental property is just like new again. I am very satisfied and highly recommend this company.

I am very pleased by your team and how they made me feel at ease in such a stressful time. Ben and the others were very calm and patient with me and I really appreciated everything they did for me.

My name is Dick Blashill and I'm the guy that your company moved my possessions on 3-3-17 and 3-27-17 at Sunshine Meadows Apartments. The three young men who did all the work did a really good job. They were ambitious, careful, accommodating,  and steady workers. You should be proud of the job they did and hopefully, you will pass this on to them. Should I ever know of someone looking for a mover, I will certainly recommend your company. Thanks again, Dick Blashill

We want to let you know how much we appreciate the great job your mitigation team did, once they finally got to work on our home. We will definitely recommend your services to others.

If ever an experience of a flooded home could become a positive one, this company can do it! This is by far the best experience I have ever had with contractors!
The pipes in my basement froze and burst, leading to a huge flood and significant water damage. The folks at this SERVPRO location were absolutely wonderful!
Not only did they find the time to come out within a few hours (though this was during a snowstorm and they were swamped with calls), they were AMAZING!!!
First of all, they were SO kind and helpful. I can't say enough how comforting and supportive it is to have contractors who are responsive, helpful and kind  when you are in the middle of a crisis like this.
They worked very hard to clean things up and dry out my basement, keeping me informed and returning daily to check on things. They went above and beyond on everything and gave me excellent advice and information about how to proceed once they were done with their part of the cleanup. I was actually sad when it came time to say a final goodbye!
I guess I could create a new tragedy in my home to keep them coming through, but that is going a bit too far!
If you need help in a fire or water damage situation, call these folks! They are the best!

I cannot tell you how pleased I was with the service I received from your company as a result of water damage in my wash room as a result of my water heater exploding. You were there all the way and took care of the damage and even worked with my insurance company. Recommendations are in order.
