Steps in Our Sewage Damage Restoration Process


Green number 1

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.

Green number 2

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.

Green number 3

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.

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.

Brandon Raleigh

We had a pipe burst that flooded our house mid September. ServePro was one of the businesses recommended by our insurance company. We are so happy to have worked with Jose and his team! There were a couple scheduling miscommunications so our ServePro representative Jose came on his own time to make sure our home was taken care of. This includes an evening where he drove all the way to Charlotte to pick up equipment and drove back to our house through a storm to set it up. We are ecstatic that we have had ServePro help us through this unfortunate happening in our lives! I highly recommend this company based on their professionalism, expertise, quality and work ethic.

We are so grateful for their help!
