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
The ServPro team was professional, efficient, communicative, punctual, and truly skilled throughout the entire mold mitigation effort needed on my home. Jurell and Cezar consistently showed up everyday on-the-dot, which I don’t think I’ve experienced with any contractor ever in my life. They worked expeditiously to finish the job as fast as possible (without rushing, of course); I was also impressed with how thorough the floor protection work was carried out, meticulously covering every stair-step, room, etc. with either tarp or blanket for the heavier items. On top of all that, they were both very nice to our dog who was constantly bugging them for attention, which they provided to her despite the loads of work they were occupied with. Overall impression I got was that these guys are knowledgeable, experienced, and absolutely know what they’re doing. It’s clear to me now why they’re a AAA-trusted vendor, and I’d 100% recommend to others.
Jurell and Cezar worked for our house and we’re so happy with their work. They always come on time, very professional and very communicative with what’s going on with the project ! I highly recommend their work !
My technician Robert was very on top of my remediation. He worked fast and efficiently. He was always kind and gave me updates. Happy to have worked with him!
We had such a great experience with the ServPro team during an incredibly stressful situation. From the beginning, Charlie Sr., Charlie Jr., Jurell, and Cesar were professional, kind, hardworking, and genuinely cared about helping us through the process. They showed up quickly, communicated clearly every step of the way, and treated our home with so much respect and care. You can tell this team takes pride in what they do. They worked efficiently, kept everything clean and organized, and made a difficult situation feel so much more manageable for our family. Everyone on the team was friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to answer every question we had. We’re especially grateful for how patient and understanding they were while we navigated everything with a baby at home. Their professionalism and positive attitudes made a huge difference. Highly recommend ServPro, and especially this amazing team — Charlie Sr., Charlie Jr., Jurell, and Cesar. Thank you guys again for all your hard work!
We had water damage from a leak andJurell and team from Servepro did a great job. They arrive timely and do what they have to do … very clean work as well as polite. They know what they’re doing. We were in good hands. The administrative staff also communicated properly and quick response time
Jurell is the main reason I stuck with Survpro after my fire damage. my adjuster had there own people yet Jurell ensured me that he was the best man for the job
I have now worked with Serve Pro twice and they are definitely the best mitigation team I've worked with, the most organized, professional and kind. Charlie is so terrific and the whole team constantly is in communication and they get things done fast and efficiently. I've worked with two other mitigators this year, both of whom were not transparent, hard to communicate with, and left things half done. Servepro Van Nuys has come through for me now for both my kitchen and bathroom and I would highly, highly recommend them. I feel so grateful I found them.
What a WONDERFUL company!! Professional, Quick and Above and Upon Service!!!! When is a crisis, this is the company to call. The staff was so amazing to work with. They treated our emergency as their own! They were present, alert, and professional!!! I LOVE this company!!!
Servpro Van Nuys South did our fire/smoke remediation after the Palisades fire in January 2025. Everyone was very busy at that time but we got incredibly good service, especially considering there were thousands of houses that required remediation. Last month we had a main sewer line flood under our house so I called them again and they did an excellent job removing the wet dirt and drying out our crawl space. Jason and his team are super nice to work with. They are efficient and responsive and do excellent work. I highly recommend using this franchise!
