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.

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.

Patricia Stevens

Professional work done was excellent. The clean up was all done by Serv Pro as in estimate. Highly recommended!

Dixie Zeien

AssuredPartners (Alta Vista) enlisted ServPro's help with a water concern, and DeVante responded rapidly, conducting an office inspection and supplying a quick estimate. His professionalism and courtesy, along with ServPro's exceptional cleanup services, were commendable.

Debbie Fangman

Micaiah and Dakota in the Decorah office were, pardon the pun, spot on! On time, polite, efficient AND I'm happy with my carpet. I'll call on them again.

Barbara Larson

Water came into the basement of our cabin during June/July & unfortunately wasn't discovered for over 4 weeks. Mold was in the walls & furniture. ServPro was amazing with the demolition of walls, carpet, etc. Very pleased that we didn't have to throw away all of the furniture and it could be cleaned. The communication throughout the entire process was exceptional, as was the crew that did the work! Very professional, friendly, and hard working team. Highly recommend ServPro of Decorah

Lisa Garden

We recently had a house fire and this cleaning service just started today. Walking into a home tonight that looks and smells so significantly better already is such a relief. Can't thank or recommend them enough!

Jennifer Holdeman

Seeing all the great Servpro ads on Instagram has definitely opened my eyes to what a great job this company does for people in need of these services. The ads are always so cute and clever. I would definitely call them because of their advertising.
