Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?
A sewage backup is one of the most hazardous losses a property in central Houston can experience, and it is not a cleanup to attempt alone. When a sewer line backs up, a toilet overflows, or floodwater forces its way indoors during a storm, it brings what the restoration industry classifies as Category Three water, carrying bacteria, viruses, and other dangerous contaminants. SERVPRO of Houston Central South is trained, equipped, and ready to handle these situations safely, responding around the clock to homes and businesses across south-central Houston. Our crews contain the affected area first, then extract the contaminated water and remove porous materials that cannot be safely salvaged, such as soaked carpet, padding, and drywall. We clean and sanitize every affected surface with professional antimicrobial and disinfecting products, then dry the structure completely and verify it has returned to a safe condition. Our technicians follow OSHA safety standards, including bloodborne pathogen protocols, and carry American Bio Recovery Association certification for biohazard work. We document the loss carefully for your insurance carrier. It is worth knowing that sewage backups often require a separate endorsement on a homeowner policy, and we are glad to help you communicate the scope to your adjuster. From the first containment step through final decontamination, our goal is a clean, safe, fully restored space, made “Like it never even happened.”

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.
What our
customers are saying
Jerry and his team did a wonderful job helping us when we had an appliance malfunction in our home. They came quickly and were able to dry out the whole area that was affected by water. He was very nice and courteous and happy to answer all my questions - and I had tons.
Our house in Lake Jackson was damaged during Beryl. A pecan tree damaged the roof, facia and soffit punching holes above a master closet and several over an enclosed porch. A SERVPRO team from the Tyler area helped mitigate the damage. Taylor and Danny were great. They quickly opened ceiling and walls, removing wet insulation as needed. They diligently monitored and ensured everything was properly dried and cleaned. They were professional and courteous and I felt they truly cared about my family and our house. Thank you SERVPRO for helping us on our path to recovery and normalcy.
Jamical Haywood and Jerry Reyna assisted with water mitigation. Both gentlemen were professional, courteous and helpful.
Corine was exceptional. She was very polite, very professional, efficient, Informative and helpful. I would rate her on a scale of one to 10 a 10+. She was an excellent representative of your company
Jerry was prompt, thorough and professional. Jerry and the team did a wonderful job, highly recommend!
About Us
When water, fire, smoke, or mold damages your home or business anywhere in south-central Houston, SERVPRO of Houston Central South responds 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year. We serve the heart of the city, from the Texas Medical Center, Hermann Park, and the Museum District to Midtown, the University of Houston and Texas Southern University, Third Ward and MacGregor, and the stadiums and exhibition halls of NRG Park along the South Freeway. Our certified local crews know this market, a dense, fast-moving part of Houston where historic bungalows, mid-rise condominiums, hospitals, universities, and commercial corridors all sit close together inside and around Loop 610, and they know how fast Gulf Coast weather, from the floodwaters that follow a tropical system and overwhelm Brays Bayou to the hard winter freezes that burst pipes, can damage a property.
We provide water damage restoration, fire and smoke damage restoration, mold remediation, sewage and biohazard cleanup, storm and flood recovery, specialty and general cleaning, air duct and HVAC cleaning, contents packout, commercial restoration, and full reconstruction. Every project begins with a clear, documented scope of work for your insurance carrier and is explained to you at each step.
What sets SERVPRO of Houston Central South apart is the combination of local knowledge and professional capability. Our crew chiefs and production managers are IICRC certified in Water Damage Restoration, Applied Structural Drying, Fire and Smoke Restoration, Odor Control, and Applied Microbial Remediation. We follow OSHA safety standards, including bloodborne pathogen, fall protection, and respirator protocols, and we carry American Bio Recovery Association certification for biohazard work. We work directly with all major insurance carriers, hold national account status with most, and communicate clearly with your adjuster so your claim keeps moving and closes quickly.
As part of the SERVPRO Team Shaw family and the acclaimed SERVPRO Disaster Recovery Team, with offices in all fifty states, we can scale our response to a single burst supply line or a regional event like Hurricane Harvey in 2017, when Brays Bayou flooding inundated thousands of homes and institutions across central Houston, or Hurricane Beryl in 2024, which knocked out power across the city and brought down trees throughout the inner loop. From a high-rise near the Medical Center to a bungalow in Third Ward, we bring the same certified crews and the same standards to every job. Whatever the size of the loss, our goal is the same. We work quickly and thoroughly to make your home or business “Like it never even happened.”
