Sewage Cleanup in Wilmington, DE: Because No One Wants to Deal With That

Let’s face it—sewage backups are the stuff of homeowner nightmares. Whether it's a clogged toilet or a busted pipe that turned your basement into an indoor swamp, you want it gone yesterday. That’s where SERVPRO comes in.

In Wilmington, DE, where charming old homes meet unpredictable weather, sewer systems can get overwhelmed fast. Storm runoff, tree root intrusion, and aging pipes don’t just cause inconvenience—they bring biohazard-level messes into your life. Our trained technicians are experts in handling Category 3 water (yep, that’s the nasty stuff) with precision and care.

Think of us like a pit crew for your property: we arrive fast, assess the scene, pump out the waste, disinfect like pros, and dry every corner with industrial-strength gear. And because we're local to the Brandywine and Wilmington community, we understand the unique challenges—from historic district basements to modern townhomes near the Riverfront.

We’re not just mopping up. We’re restoring peace of mind, one sanitized surface at a time.

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.

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.

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

Service Pro did a great job at several of our apartments for our company. They provided fast service, friendly service & understood what needed to be done. Andrew & his crew were top notch!! One of our employees took them to all the rooms & they did a great job on everything!! Our residents & staff were very happy. Seeing Andrew & Phil talk to each other, laughing & more, they were pretty much like brothers to each other. Even two peas in a pod. We will always welcome back Andrew & his crew back anytime. Servpro I would reccomend to all my friends, co-workers & family!!

Falling Water

Very professional. Gave truthful feedback when asked about the service and items that may/ may not be salvageable from sewer water.

Antony Gifoli

I had a great experience with ServPro even though the reason that they came out was not great for me. (I had a water supply line break which soaked carpeting in several rooms.) The ServPro team was prompt and professional. They had the right equipment to determine how far the water damage extended and to determine when the drying process was complete. They knew exactly what needed to be done from the removal of damaged carpet to collecting carpet/padding samples for the insurance company to assess the replacement costs. I was very happy with them and would definitely contact them again if needed.

Bob Grasso

ServPro came out quickly when I needed help, and I was very impressed with their service. Sean was professional, punctual, and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything in a way I could understand, carefully reviewed the damp area, and gave me clear recommendations. He was reassuring, kind, and made sure I knew my family was safe, which gave me peace of mind. Sean even shared helpful tips on working with my homeowner’s insurance, which I really appreciated. The estimate provided was very reasonable—not at all outrageous—which made me feel comfortable moving forward. At this point only the initial inspection was completed since plumbing repairs need to happen first, but I’m very happy with the service I’ve received so far and would definitely recommend them.

Sarah Denzmore

I can depend on your prompt response. Getting the job done right the first time. Little details never left undone. You care for my home as you would your own. Pride in your work is a A plus. Thank you 😊

Mammie Freeman

Great service! Showed up on time, were professional, thorough, and courteous.

Jonna Shipe

They were amazing and very good and nice. They still have to come and replace our floors, but waiting on insurance and they have been fighting for us to get the floors put in. I would recommend them to anyone.

Joshua Pruitt

Called Servpro due to a water leak in my finished basement. They responded quickly and started the cleanup with very courteous and professional team. Very satisfied with the results.

Paul Ashback
