A sewage emergency is both unexpected and overwhelming.
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.
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
Due to a sump pump failure, my basement had water after the recent rains. Jill responded immediately and showed up with Dylan and Collin to start drying out my basement, Kenny and her team worked hard to get everything packed up and out of the basement. The whole mitigation process was very smooth. Would definitely recommend and use Servpro again.
Jill &!her team did a great job!
Highly recommend ServPro. Jill, Dylan, Collin & everyone else has had great Customer Service & Support during our water crisis. Thank you!
Brian Burke and his team at Servpro of Ames did a terrific job. They were very conscientious and efficient They saved the day !
Gage and Sebastian were very knowledgable, proffesional and communicated very effectively during the demo/cleaning work on our 100 year old home. They cleaned up great after the fact and prepped us for the plumbers coming in this week.
Alex and Joe were professional, courteous, and answered all my questions. Most importantly they had the knowledge and equipment and got started right away at getting our basement dried out
We used Servpro for water, mold, and asbestos remediation. The team of Gage, Sebastian, and Joe was exceptional in every way. Everyday I received a text and/or a phone call to let me know when they were leaving the shop. All communication was friendly and professional. At least daily check-ins and walk through. They asked questions, communicated with the project manager, and always greeted us and said good bye. The work was exceptional and we had a lot of it. A basement tear out is not easy, but they were always positive. I would highly recommend them.
Brian Burkle was exceptional in handling our clean up. He and his team were quick to respond and diligent in all follow up activities.
Mr. Joe and MJ came to our location on short notice to clean a conference room’s carpet. Not only did they do a great job but were so polite, professional and friendly. I would welcome these two gentlemen back anytime.
