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.
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
"Lemuel was great. He was on time and very knowledgeable as well as reassuring"
Lemuel advocated for us at every step and we appreciate all of his and his team’s hard work.
“EXCELLENT and highly professional service. I was kept well-informed as to what was being done and goals. Always notified in advance of when they would arrive. Very courteous. Will recommend HIGHLY to others.”
“Crew chief David provided exemplary service.”
Each person involved in this process was very polite, helpful and professional. I was always told when they would be arriving. Can't thank each of them enough; It was a very good experience.
When I came home to find that the ceilings were falling due to a water issue, one call brought Alonso and Alex out to help stop the issue and begin the process of cleaning up and drying out. Alonso kept me informed and was a total professional. I never had to guess what they had done, what was next, or what to expect down the road.
When I showed the demo and dry-out results to the general contractors, they remarked that the job was done with great attention to detail. The site was clean and ready for appraisal and restoration.
Alonzo and Alex responded promptly to a major water damage incident after hours. Their team was able to address the issue with equipment and amazingly no demo work was needed!
The folks from SERVPRO Charlottesville were incredibly helpful getting my crawlspace back together after a few plumbing leaks. Shout out to Justin Morris, Junie Dove, Lillie Perella, and Lemuel Wallace .
Jackson came and inspected our home thoroughly after our basement flooded. He was straight-forward and very prompt with estimates & invoices. Lemuel and his helper came to set up dehumidifiers & an air scrubber as well as do additional inspections to ensure what they had done worked. We were very pleased with the work that was completed! Very grateful for the communication with Lemuel and his hard work spent at our home. Would definitely recommend this business for anybody needing water/moisture removal!
