Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

Sewage cleanup in Bartow and Lakeland Highlands is a health emergency, not a routine mop-up. SERVPRO of Bartow/Lakeland Highlands responds 24/7 to toilet overflows, blocked laterals, main-line backups, and Category 3 (black water) intrusions for homes and businesses across Bartow, Lakeland Highlands, and nearby Polk County communities.



Avoid contact with the water, keep people and pets out of the area, and do not use household vacuums or fans that can spread contamination. Our technicians extract contaminated water and waste, protect unaffected rooms, remove porous materials when required, clean and sanitize affected surfaces, and dry the structure thoroughly before re-entry.



Heavy Florida rains and aging plumbing raise backup risk for residential and commercial properties. Call SERVPRO of Bartow/Lakeland Highlands for emergency sewage cleanup and black-water remediation in Bartow and Lakeland Highlands as soon as a backup is discovered.

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

CHESTER and Leon and Mike We’re very thorough at checking out my house. I had a water leak and they took care of me. Thank you guys for the great service.

jhone scott

We had concerns about possible mold at our office in Bartow, and Jazmyne was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was quick to come out, very professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. She took the time to inspect everything, explain what she was seeing, answer all of our questions, and walk us through the next steps. She made what could have been a stressful situation so much easier and gave us peace of mind knowing we were in good hands. I really appreciated how friendly, helpful, and genuine she was throughout the entire process. Highly recommend Jazmyne and the SERVPRO team!
