Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

A sewer line backup, an overflowing toilet, or a failed septic line is more than just a mess. It is a Category 3 water loss. That means the water is contaminated and unsafe for anyone in the home or business. In Chula Vista, older sewer mains and clay drain lines in our western neighborhoods can cause backups to happen often, especially after heavy rains.

SERVPRO of Chula Vista provides 24/7 sewage cleanup for homes and businesses across the South Bay and San Diego County. Our IICRC-certified technicians follow the S500 standard. We contain the area, safely remove contaminated materials, disinfect with EPA-approved products, and dry the space completely. Sewage often soaks into drywall, flooring, and subflooring. Our in-house construction crew can handle the demolition and rebuild needed to fully restore the area.

We are listed on most major insurance preferred vendor programs. Our bilingual English and Spanish team is here to walk you through every step of the claim.

If you have a sewage backup in your home or business, call SERVPRO of Chula Vista today. We will restore your property "Like it never even happened."

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

We’ve had a great experience working with SERVPRO (Martin Jr., Sebastian, Paulina, and their team) in Chula Vista. They’ve been professional, reliable, and always on time. Communication has been excellent, and they’ve taken the time to walk us through every step of the process so we always know what to expect. I really appreciate how helpful and responsive the entire team has been. Everything turned out great and I would highly recommend!

Christopher Dunn

Servpro came & dried us out after a flood (burst pipe), & took apart cabinets, drywall & island. They were very easy to work with & checked in daily as to progress & our needs.

Charlene H.

Once again Servpro of Chula Vista came to our rescue. We had a toilet overflow in an upstairs bathroom, and rain down through the ceiling below. We called & spoke to Martin, and he sent Julio out within the hour. Julio & his team set up dehumidifying fans right away. They came daily over the next week and a half, removed the damaged flooring/walls, and continued to dry it all out. They tested for bacteria, so we can be assured no mold will grow. Martin was in contact daily to check on our project. Thanks to Martin, Julio, Sebastian, Bernard, and all other team members. They made a stressful time easy to deal with.

Mikey Thomas

The workers were very nice and courteous. My dishwasher leaked and they covered everything in plastic before they removed the drywall and kitchen cabinets. The cleaned up after they were done too! Highly recommend ServPro to anyone looking for demo!!!

Neil Belmont

I had an outstanding experience with SERVPRO of Chula Vista, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, Martin was exceptional. His communication was clear, timely, and reassuring during what could have been a very stressful situation. He took the time to explain each step of the process, set realistic expectations, and consistently followed through. His professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care truly stood out and made a significant difference in our overall experience. Equally impressive was the ServPro team that completed the work. They were punctual, respectful of our space, and demonstrated a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. The quality of their work exceeded expectations, and it was evident that they take great pride in what they do. Together, Martin and the entire ServPro team delivered not only excellent results but also peace of mind. If you’re looking for a company that combines expertise, reliability, and top-tier customer service, SERVPRO of Chula Vista is the one to call. Thank you again for your outstanding service!

Servpro recently came out and did remediation and restoration in my dining room following a leak from my air conditioner. They came out promptly when I had an emergency and took care of it. I am very happy with their service and they did a very nice job on the restoration. Thank you Martin and thanks to your entire crew. Highly recommend!

Emma Sartin

Great service and they keep you informed through the entire process!!

Nichola Welsh

ServPro came out right away and quickly set up fans to start the dry out process due to a leak. They were professional and responsive, and had an on-site plumber who was able to remove the leaking water heater.

Regina Ready

Serv Pro took the time to explain my options clearly and offered thoughtful, straightforward advice. Highly recommend!

About Us

SERVPRO of Chula Vista was founded in 2006 by Martin Aguilera, who started the business out of his garage with the help of a few family members. In the early days, the company served just a small slice of Chula Vista but as word spread and the work kept coming, the team grew year after year. A second location followed, and the company became known throughout the South Bay as SERVPRO of Chula Vista.

In 2021, Martin's sons, Martin Jr. and Albert, took over day-to-day operations, carrying forward the same hands-on, family-run approach their father built the business on. Today, our team of 40 employees serves not only Chula Vista, but also La Jolla, Mira Mesa, Pacific Beach, Rancho Peñasquitos, Miramar, and Scripps Ranch — and we regularly assist on jobs across Southern California. When major catastrophes strike elsewhere in the country, our crews are also called up as part of SERVPRO's national Storm Team response.

We specialize in water damage, fire and smoke damage, mold remediation, biohazard cleanup, and full-service reconstruction for both residential and commercial properties. Our technicians are IICRC-certified, we are listed on multiple insurance preferred vendor programs, and we offer bilingual English and Spanish service so every customer in our diverse community gets clear communication from start to finish.

Above all, our mission has not changed since day one: serve the community, do the right thing, and treat every customer like family. We are proud to give back locally and to be the team San Diego County calls when something goes wrong.

If you need restoration service for your home or business, call us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
