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.

Laurel rowland

We contracted with Servpro twice; once after the June 2024 flood and again in 2025 to clear out my late father-in-law’s home. We live 250 miles away and they provided the option to communicate and handle paperwork/payment electronically. Destiny was our point-of-contact and she was wonderful to work with. We are very satisfied with the services they performed!

Suzanne Meyers Warrick

The crew from ServPro in Spencer did a fantastic job of cleaning up from our flood damage. They worked so hard clearing the debris, removing the sheetrock and ceilings, sanitizing and mold mitigation, and drying our lower level out. It was well worth the money.

Dave Kimbell

We so appreciated working with the ServPro crew! With the recent flood, they helped my parents from start to finish, getting their house cleaned out and sterilized. Everyone was great in terms of communication and empathy shown, given the circumstances. Thank you so much, ServPro!

I had a frozen water pipe burst in my dog grooming shop (K9 Designs). SERVPRO of Spencer and Great Lakes was out within 2 hours of my initial phone call. They all worked very quickly and professionally, taking good care of all our grooming equipment. They had me dried out and ready for the next step in construction within 24 hours.
