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.

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.

I had a kitchen faucet leak and we were unaware of it. It leaked into our basement ceiling as well. SERVPRO was AMAZING! The came out immediately and assessed our water damage. With in hours, they had fans up and going and things drying out. I highly recommend the team at SERVPRO!

"I just have to tell you how wonderful it has been working with you all. Everyone I have spoken to or worked with in your company has been so incredibly kind (including you!). Tracy is obviously an expert and was so professional when he came out to the house. The two gentlemen who set up the drying fans did their best to keep the area clean even when they had to remove flooring. They made sure I could still use my laundry room (and with 4 kids, that is a necessity!). Katie, who came out to check on the progress during the weekend, was also fantastic. She gave us updates and was helpful in working around our busy schedule to come out to the house. I would recommend using SERVPRO of Bellingham to anyone. I am totally satisfied and happy with what you have done for us."

I've had the unfortunate need to call SERVPRO on two occasions now. Fortunately, the team at SERVPRO was very responsive, went above and beyond to ensure that my tenants were well taken care of (with one occurrence at a rental property), and performed everything as expected or better. I sincerely appreciate all of the help and guidance from the team at SERVPRO and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of their services - but, lets hope that you don't need them!
