Steps in Our Sewage Damage Restoration Process

Sewage Removal & Contamination Control

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

SERVPRO-South Philadelphia is one of the best companies I have worked with more recently. They are friendly, accommodating and very professional. Their work is impeccable, which goes along with their turn-around time on job completion. I would definitely recommend them to anyone having remediation concerns, air quality concerns, and overall water damage to a residential and/or commercial property.

SERVPRO of South Philadelphia/SE Delaware County was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. From the office scheduler to the folks who came to do the work, everyone was friendly and professional. We had an emergency type situation that they responded to promptly and provided excellent work. Thanks for being there when we needed quick and quality service! We could not be happier and highly recommend!

We had a pipe break that caused a lot of water damage over two floors. SERVPRO came in and seamlessly handled the cleanup. They moved all our contents (clearly labeling all the boxes) and were very thoughtful in setting up the fans/dehumidifiers and taping off areas. They also worked very well with our insurance company so I didn’t have to go back and forth between the two. Highly recommend them to handle any water damage cleanup.

Shelly, Tiffany & the entire SERVPRO crew were fantastic to deal with. Very professional. Shelly got the work order underway quickly even with the overflow (yes, pun intended) of calls with the recent heavy rains and flooding in S. Philly that specific Friday. Crew came onsite timely and Tiffany provided me with the invoices. Definitely recommend!

SERVPRO of South Philadelphia is the BEST. I called them for water damage restoration due to a backed-up sewer line in my powder room in the basement. They came out and gave me a great estimate. Their team came out to do the work. They were always on time, took care of what needed to be done. They sent me before and after pictures of all the work they did. The team was friendly and professional. I would recommend them to family and friends.

This SERVPRO team helped me through a huge pipe burst flood in my house. I came home to standing water in my living room and I called SERVPRO of South Philadelphia and they responded quickly, got to work and had my house on the road to recovery in no time. Plus, they were educational and respectful. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. 10/10 recommend.
