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
Abraham and his team very professional polite and wonderful in drying out my kitchen. Thanks again 😊
SERVPRO very good company to work with, we had a dining room/living room fire with smoke damage throughout the home. Marc and Steve easy to work with, very professional, they both know what they are doing I recommend them.
Sal and Ray did a fantastic job with cutting out the mold in a timely manner and explained everything and were so kind!
A car crashed into our cement fence this morning and debris went everywhere. Called up serv pro and sal and Ivan showed up. The guys were incredibly fast and accommodating. Did an excellent job cleaning everything up.
We had the great pleasure and luck to have Ivan assigned to packout our home here in San Jose. From the start he was professional, personable and gave both my wife and I a sense of reassurance that everything was going to be OK and they are here to help. Ivan is hardworking, organized and thorough with all tasks, respectful of the property and made sure there was no trash and tidied the work areas before end of day and was excellent in communicating any matters needing attention - you can tell he takes great pride in his work. What impressed me the most was his turning in loose coins jewelry as well as cash that he found under beds, behind dressers and even in the driveway. I’m sure it’s protocol to report fouhd/missing iteme to the owner of the home, but just knowing that your team is honest and trustworthy gave us a whole sense of peace of mind. Servpro should be proud to have Ivan representing your company exceptionally well!
Servpro was hired by our property management to handle mold issues we’ve been having in our bathroom. Instead of painting over it or doing the bare minimum, Ivan extracted part of the shower ceiling that was consistently having mold for the past couple years. He even went so far as to cleaning the dirt or mess caused during the extraction to keep our tub and walls clean. That was incredibly kind and thoughtful of him. Great service, Ivan was fantastic. Thank you!!!
I had a great experience with this company for mold removal. They were incredibly prompt, professional, and kept me informed throughout the entire cleaning process. The communication was excellent, and I always knew what was being done and why. The quality of their work was outstanding—my walls look freshly painted even though they only removed and cleaned the mold. I was genuinely impressed by the results. A special shoutout to Ivan, who was especially professional, courteous, and helpful. His attention to detail and customer service really stood out. I would highly recommend this team to anyone needing mold remediation. 100% satisfied with their work! Here is a before and after
Ethan and his team were great ! They were able to clean up a rodent mess to where it is now a workable space there for us to go forward with our project that was on hold.
Worked with ServPro March 2026, Result was fantastic they didn't just fix the issue they made the place look way better than before. They are also easy to contact and will answer your questions professionally and will give you work updates. In terms of Storage for the items in the house, They will pack everything nicely and will move your stuff on their storage with care and you won't worry about the condition of your belongings since they have the proper storage unit with controlled temperature. They will also moved it back with care and even do the assembly for you. Props to Mark Wood for helping us with the repair, moving in and out of the unit and storage. Definitely would recommend ServPro for future service.
