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

Drew came out to assess the mold issue in my barn. He came up with a treatment plan and Lenin and Ernesto were out quickly to do the work. Everyone I spoke with, from the front office through Lenin and Ernesto, were friendly, professional and quick to respond. Thank you for a job well done, Lenin and Ernesto!

Paige Jobe

You guys did an excellent job.

Donalson Sanon

Had some major water damage in my kitchen and Servpro was excellent! I highly recommend Lenin! Drew his manger was also great! Flexible, reliable and easy to communicate with.

Rachael Canupp

Lenin and his team did a phenomenal job assisting us when we had an upstairs toilet overflow. The team arrived at my home within an hour of my initial phone call on a Monday morning. The team was efficient, polite, communicative and did an overall great job. I highly recommend this Servpro team for anyone needing water remediation.

Ashley Hodgson

Lenin and Blake were very professional and provided excellent customer service. They arrived promptly and thoroughly explained the process to me. They provided several blowers and dehumidifiers to dry the water in my attic as well as bedroom. The job was done in a timely manner and clean up was great. I felt at ease with the process. I would highly recommend them!

Cheryl Smith

Ernesto was so responsive and helpful at helping us make sense of the situation and get it under control!

Margaret Hart

Servpro of Athens went above and beyond in everything they did for our church home. Our youth building had some ongoing issues that these amazing people took it upon themselves to help us make sure our community and our children are protected and have a place to worship safely! Thank you all for everything you have done for Canaan Baptist Church!

Pastor Michael McCroan

Talena and this entire branch have been absolutely incredible. She has gone completely out of her way on three separate occasions to help me, and I haven’t even officially hired her for a service yet. She’s been assisting me with a real estate listing that had a lingering cigarette odor preventing the home from showing and selling the way it should. Not only did she take the time to offer her expert advice, but she personally stopped by THREE separate times just to check on things and help me troubleshoot the issue — all without expecting a dime in return. That level of care and dedication is almost unheard of these days. She also recommended a reasonably priced duct cleaning company that did an amazing job! I’m genuinely blown away by the customer service, professionalism, and kindness she’s shown me from day one. It’s hard enough to find good customer service anymore, let alone exceptional service from someone who gains nothing from helping. To me, that says everything about a person’s integrity and the kind of business they run. When someone is willing to help simply because they care about doing the right thing, that speaks volumes. I can confidently say this branch is honest, knowledgeable, and truly customer-focused. I would recommend Talena and her team to anyone without hesitation!

Samantha Hurley

Devon and Randy was outstanding!!! Real polite and professional. Took their time and didn't break anything. If needed be I would hire them and their crew again. Servepro....please continue the great work
