What To Do When Sewage Damage Happens
A sewage emergency is both unexpected and overwhelming.
Planning for a sewage emergency is probably the last thing on any homeowner’s mind. However, sewage damage can happen to anyone, in any home, at any time.
Knowing what to do in those first few moments can help protect your home and health. Here are some recommended steps from SERVPRO.
Avoid all contact with sewage-contaminated water
Turn off the main water supply to prevent additional flow
Shut down HVAC systems to stop contaminated air from circulating
Evacuate people and pets from affected areas
Call SERVPRO immediately for professional cleanup
Work with SERVPRO to contact your insurance company and document the damage
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 wanted to take a moment to thank Gilbert Aguilar for the excellent moisture inspection at my property on 1OCT2026. Your professionalism and thorough approach were impressive. The details you provided was clear and helpful, highlighting key concerns and practical recommendations. I particularly appreciated the way you explained your findings in clear terms, making it easy for me to understand the implications and necessary next steps. I will gladly recommend your services to others. Thank you!
Thank you to the SERVPRO Team. I can't stress the importance of communication and they have gone above and beyond to communicate at every step, especially with a newborn at home. Thank you to Manny, Isabella, Leticia, and Vanessa…you have been awesome at keeping me informed and I appreciate it.
Daniel came out for the initial visit after I experienced water intrusion from my upstairs neighbor. He was very professional, kind, and thorough in explaining what needed to be done. The inspection was handled smoothly, and he made sure I understood the next steps. The ongoing work in my unit has been excellent. Gilbert has been awesome — respectful, efficient, and very attentive to the details. He came in, assessed everything carefully, and has been consistent throughout the process. Overall, Servpro has provided great service, clear communication, and a team that truly cares about the work they do.
Manny, Gilbert, and Jonathan did a great job. Very professional.
Very professional and did great work. Good communication throughout the project. Daniel K and the other workers were professional and nice people to work with. Would use Servepro again. -LY
Manny Orozoo and others at this ServPro location and associated with this mitigation has been fabulous to work with. The water leakage and the whole mitigation process has been quite overwhelming, and everyone's calmness and explanation of the process has been very much appreciated. There's still a lot to be done (we've only just completed Phase 1), so I won't be checking off below the services I have not (yet) used. The company is working with my insurance regarding payment.
As a resident at community ln , I really appreciate how much you guys care about the community and other people. The way they prepped and protected the hallway and elevator area before the work was really thoughtful. It was nice to see that they actually care about keeping things clean and making sure the residents are comfortable. Nacho & valente
After the flood ,it looked like a complete disaster, but the Servpro team did an outstanding job. Valente, Hector, and Carlos were professional, courteous, and worked hard from start to finish. I especially want to recognize Valente for his exceptional professionalism. He explained every step of the process, kept me informed, and made sure the cleanup was done perfectly. I highly recommend Servpro for anyone dealing with flood damage!
Oscar performed some restoration after a plumbing leak in my condo. He showed up on time and got the work done quickly and with care. He treated my house as if it were his own - making sure to do a great job and he cleaned up afterwards. I highly recommend him!
