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.
What our
customers are saying
I this company to move my son from one apartment to another in San Francisco. They also cleaned the old apartment immediately after they completed the move. The team helped my son unpack everything and the ladies were so amazing with my son. Top notch service!!!
Servpro hired an insulation company as part of the mold remediation project in my house, and a year later I found out that the insulation company had blocked the intake vents in my attic, causing mold to grow (again). Despite that issue being caused by the insulation company, Servpro has stepped up and solved my problem.
Alex is great. I will most definitely refer him.
Awesome experience regarding project management and crew. All questions were answered as well as hands on walk through steps. Efficient timing and quality work. I’m sure this will not be my last experience with serv-pro. Thank you Alex!
Very organized. Communication was on point. Trch Jeremy was thorough and professional.
An upstairs toilet overflowed during an entire holiday weekend, destroying the kitchen/dining area below. We are so grateful we were referred to ServPro. They were immediately responsive and at the house within an hour of our call. They communicated well, documented the entire process with photos at various steps along the way, used a thick plastic containment system to keep the 'construction zone' separated from the remainder of the house, worked with our insurance adjuster, answered our (many) questions and helped guide us about next steps. I don't wish this awful mess on anyone, but if you find yourself having to deal with a similar disaster, do yourself a favor and call ServPro right away. They helped keep us sane, and more importantly, we can trust that our house is mold free and sanitized before we start the arduous process of rebuilding.
I had bought a cool vintage dresser that came from a smoker's house and after many months of airing it out, the cigarette smoke smell still lingered. Dropped it off at Servepro where it spent some time in their ozonater and just picked it up yesterday. No more smoke smell!
I own several companies in Santa Cruz and one of our staff members tested positive for COVID. I wanted to clean the offices, trucks and work areas the person who tested positive used or entered to keep my employees safe. I needed to do this ASAP to keep the companies running and employees working. I reached out to Servpro via their website and asked for help. This was on a holiday evening (late at night) and by 7 AM the next morning I had a response from the Servpro team!! Wow.....that was fast service I thought. It got better!! I worked with multiple Servpro office staff members for the next several hours and by 10:30 AM I was meeting their cleaning staff at my offices to get started. The cleaning crew was on time, prepared, professional, and had all the materials and personal protective equipment and know how to get the job done safely. I was down only one day because Servpro came in and saved the day. I don't write reviews; this is my first one ever. That's how good they were. David Reinsma, President Trinity Source Group, Inc.

Thank you so much for your quick response and professional attention to detail when cleaning up our home after a water leak. This is the company to call for a business who will do it right the first time.
