Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

Expert Sewage Cleanup in Newark, DE – So You Don’t Have To Deal With It

There’s no polite way to say it—sewage backups are a nightmare. One minute, your basement’s dry; the next, it smells like something crawled out of the 1950s plumbing under Main Street. When Newark’s aging pipes meet heavy rain or a failed sump pump, things can go south fast.

At SERVPRO, we know this city. We’ve helped restore everything from student rentals near UD to historic homes over by White Clay Creek. Sewage water is what we call “Category 3” in the restoration world—translation: don’t go near it without proper gear and training. Our crew handles the mess with commercial-grade extractors, sanitizers, and air scrubbers to get your home clean and dry—fast.

We treat every job like we’re helping a neighbor—because we are.

Why Newark trusts SERVPRO:

  • Fast, 24/7 emergency cleanup (because sewage doesn’t wait for business hours)
  • IICRC-certified crews with years of local restoration experience
  • Deep knowledge of Newark’s infrastructure and flood-prone zones
  • Compassionate service that treats your home like our own

Sewage might be dirty business, but the cleanup shouldn’t feel like a hassle. SERVPRO’s here to handle the mess and help you reclaim your space—without the stress.

Ready to make it “Like it never even happened”? Give SERVPRO a call and let’s restore your peace of mind.

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.

Great, quick service for emergent cleanup of flooding!

Brian Collins

Sam and Martin were able to show up ahead of schedule to assess and get my home initiated on drying out. They were able to work with the finished parts of my basement for drying out the whole area after my sump pump failed, and water had overflown on my drainage system.

Darrell Kiley

Great experience with the ServPro team. They were professional and thorough in their approach to the clean up.

Jeff Miller

Everyone I've spoken to has been kind, prompt, and helpful. They helped me out on the insurance side, and go above and beyond to make sure my space is returned to the way it was before flooding.

David Limberg

Our finished basement and kitchen were flooded due to a pipe bursting in the middle of the night. Waking up to this disaster was horrific. I called ServPro and within an hour Tyler and Aaron were at my house. Their knowledge, professionalism and thoroughness was beyond excellent. From start to finish, including dealing with our insurance company, their work was superb and I would recommend ServPro to anyone who needs a cleanup restoration small or large. Their service was outstanding in every aspect.

Kim Gotschall

Servpro Newark, De did a great job with cleaning up my flooded basement. They were prompt, courteous and thorough. The lead Tech went over all the steps and procedures. No surprises. While having the basement floor was not fun ServPro helped lessen the pain!

Varina Caton

Had a pipe break in the basement. Caused some damage so my insurance reached out to ServPro Newark. They came right away, cleaned up the water, set up blowers to dry everything and stayed on top of the work. Very professional and efficient. Kept me advised during the entire process.
