Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?
Expert Sewage Remediation and Restoration in Downtown Memphis
A sewage backup in the dense urban landscape of Downtown Memphis is a critical emergency that requires an immediate, professional response. SERVPRO of Downtown Memphis provides expert 24/7 sewage cleanup services to manage "black water" intrusions caused by aging city infrastructure, heavy Mississippi River Valley rain events, or high-rise plumbing failures.
In the heart of the Bluff City, whether you are managing a historic property on Main Street, a luxury condo, or a commercial storefront near Beale, minimizing downtime is essential. Sewage carries harmful contaminants that penetrate deep into porous materials, making standard cleaning insufficient. Our technicians utilize advanced moisture-detection technology to find hidden saturation in subfloors and wall cavities, preventing secondary damage and lingering odors.
Our professional restoration workflow includes:
Emergency Extraction: Utilizing high-powered, truck-mounted vacuums to rapidly remove liquid and solid waste.
Controlled Removal: Disposing of non-salvageable materials like saturated drywall and carpeting to protect the building's structural integrity.
Deep Sanitization: Applying professional-grade antimicrobial treatments to eliminate odors and ensure a clean, healthy environment.
Strategic Structural Drying: Deploying industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to pull deep-seated moisture from the framing.
Serving the entire Downtown and Medical District area, we work directly with your insurance provider to streamline the claims process. We are committed to a thorough recovery, restoring your property to its preloss condition quickly and professionally.

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.
Avoid all contact with sewage-contaminated water
Turn off the main water supply to prevent additional flow
Shut down HVAC systems to stop contaminated air from circulating
Evacuate people and pets from affected areas
Call SERVPRO immediately for professional cleanup
Work with SERVPRO to contact your insurance company and document the damage
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.


Simplifying Insurance
We make insurance claims easier, with fewer headaches for you. We handle the details and coordinate any paperwork, so you can focus on moving forward.
We thoroughly document the damage and communicate clearly with you and your insurance throughout the process.
Your insurance provider trusts SERVPRO to respond quickly — we address sewage issues swiftly to control costs, prevent further damage, and keep the insurance process moving smoothly.


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.
