Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

Sewage Happens

One of the downsides to modern living are sewage backups. Modern plumbing has provided sanitation and has seriously helped living standards. But sometimes these systems fail. And when they do, when sewage moves back into our sanitary spaces, our team is ready and able to help clean the mess and put things back in order. Our teams are trained in professional cleaning and have serious amount of experience.

Our Elmhurst area SERVPRO responds to sewage messes. We clean, we sanitize and we make things new again.

Levels of Contamination

Sewage is ranked by class depending on the levels of contamination, we go into the different classes of sewage below. As might be obvious, more contaminated sewage implies greater risk. Adversely, less contamination implies less risk.

However, you should treat all sewage as if it is the worst type, that’s simply a good practice. Sewage of all types may contain bacteria and viruses that could cause serious illness — caution must be used.

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.

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.
