Emergency Sewage Cleanup and Biohazard Decontamination in Northern WA
A sewage backup is a hazardous emergency that requires immediate professional intervention to protect your health and property. SERVPRO of Stevens, Ferry, Okanogan, and Pend Oreille Counties is the regional authority on sewage cleanup and biohazard decontamination, serving Colville, Omak, Republic, and Newport 24/7. Because sewage often contains dangerous pathogens, bacteria, and viral contaminants, DIY cleanup in rural or residential settings poses severe health risks. Our IICRC-certified technicians possess the specialized personal protective equipment (PPE) and industrial-grade antimicrobial agents necessary to safely neutralize Category 3 water (black water). We prioritize rapid biohazard mitigation to prevent the spread of airborne contaminants throughout your home or business, ensuring a safe and sanitary environment.
Managing the Risks of Contaminated Water and Structural Restoration
Effective sewage restoration depends on identifying the contamination level. Category 1 (clean water) can quickly degrade into the highly toxic Category 3, which originates from septic tank failures, toilet overflows containing feces, or flooding rivers. This "black water" contains raw sewage and harmful microbial contaminants that require professional-grade water extraction and deep structural sanitization. As a licensed general contractor, we don't just mitigate the mess; we manage the full sewage damage reconstruction, replacing contaminated drywall, insulation, and flooring. Providing meticulous documentation required by insurance adjusters, we ensure your claim is handled accurately. Trust the local experts to handle the contamination safely 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.
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.
About Us
Northern Washington’s Leader in Rural Property Restoration and Reconstruction
Serving one of the largest and most geographically diverse territories in the Pacific Northwest, SERVPRO of Stevens, Ferry, Okanogan & Pend Oreille Counties is the premier provider of emergency restoration and structural repairs. From the heights of the Selkirk Mountains to the expansive valleys of the Okanogan, our four-county region is home to resilient communities, vast agricultural lands, and breathtaking natural beauty. However, the same environment that makes Northern Washington a paradise—heavy snowfalls, dry summer heat, and winding river systems—also presents unique risks to property owners.
When disaster strikes in a rural community, the challenge isn't just the damage; it’s the logistics. At SERVPRO, we have built our reputation on bridging that gap. Whether you are located in the heart of Colville, the riverside communities of Newport, the historic streets of Republic, or the far reaches of Okanogan, we provide the rapid, 24/7 response typically reserved for major metropolitan areas. We are locally owned and operated, meaning we don't just work here—we are part of the fabric of Northern Washington.
Specialized Water Damage Restoration for a Four-County Territory
In our region, water damage often follows the rhythm of the seasons. Property owners must contend with the annual "spring freshet" as snowpack from the Kettle and Selkirk ranges melts into the Bonaparte and Pend Oreille Rivers. These events, combined with the extreme "freeze-thaw" cycles of our winters, create a high demand for professional water damage restoration.
Our approach to water damage is deeply technical. In rural properties, moisture often migrates into crawlspaces, unfinished basements, and complex framing. If not addressed within 48 hours, this leads to structural rot and mold growth. Our IICRC-certified technicians arrive on-site with advanced moisture-detection technology, including infrared cameras, to visualize dampness that is invisible to the naked eye.
By deploying industrial-grade LGR dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers, we manipulate the indoor environment to pull moisture out of the air and building materials simultaneously. For the residents of Stevens and Pend Oreille Counties, where many homes feature classic timber framing and legacy construction, this precision is vital. We don't just "dry" your home; we restore it to its pre-loss condition using scientific standards.
Advanced Fire and Smoke Damage Recovery
The threat of fire is a significant concern across the dry, forested landscapes of Okanogan and Ferry Counties. Beyond the immediate danger of localized structure fires, our region frequently faces the pervasive impact of wildfire smoke and ash. Fire damage restoration is a multi-phased science that requires specialized chemistry and technical expertise.
When a fire occurs, smoke carries acidic soot that can etch glass and tarnish metal fixtures within hours. Our teams focus on immediate stabilization, providing emergency board-ups to secure properties in remote areas from weather and wildlife. Once secure, we begin the soot removal process. We utilize specialized chemical sponges and ultrasonic cleaning to lift soot from porous surfaces without smearing it deeper into the material.
The most persistent challenge in fire recovery is the lingering smoke odor. We utilize professional-grade technology, including hydroxyl generators and thermal fogging, to neutralize odor molecules at the source. For a community that prides itself on clean mountain air, we work tirelessly to ensure the "smell of fire" is permanently removed from your home or business.

Northern Washington Property Restoration FAQ
How quickly can you respond to a call in remote parts of Okanogan or Ferry County?
We offer 24/7/365 emergency dispatch. While our territory is massive, we have strategically staged equipment and crews to ensure we can reach even our most remote neighbors as quickly as possible. Rapid response is the key to minimizing the total cost of water damage restoration.
Does insurance cover wildfire smoke and ash cleanup?
In most cases, yes. Standard policies in Washington cover fire damage restoration, which includes the professional removal of wildfire ash and smoke deodorization. We work directly with all major insurance carriers and provide the digital documentation they need to process your claim.
What is the difference between professional drying and using my own fans?
In our humid river valleys, simple fans only dry the surface. Professional water damage restoration involves "structural drying," which uses industrial dehumidifiers to pull moisture out of the materials themselves. This is the only way to prevent hidden mold and wood rot behind walls.
Can you help with mold after a roof leak from heavy snow?
Absolutely. We are certified mold remediation specialists. We use negative air pressure and HEPA filtration to contain and remove mold spores safely, ensuring your indoor air quality is restored after winter moisture intrusion.
Why should I choose a restoration company that also does construction?
It simplifies your life. Choosing a team that handles both the cleanup and the reconstruction ensures that your project stays on schedule and that the technicians who dried the home are coordinating directly with the carpenters who are rebuilding it.
