Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

A sewer line backup, an overflowing toilet, or a failed sewer connection 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 older La Jolla neighborhoods — particularly The Villages, parts of Mount Soledad, and the older mid-century homes throughout the coast — aging clay drain lines and older sewer mains can cause backups that affect property owners with little warning.

SERVPRO of La Jolla provides 24/7 sewage cleanup for homes and businesses across the coastal communities we serve. 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 La Jolla 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.

The team was professional, respectful of our home, and explained what they were doing as they went. They set up drying equipment, checked moisture levels, and made sure everything was documented properly. Communication was solid from start to finish, and they worked directly with our insurance, which took a lot of stress off us.
