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

Arturo with the mitigation team and Jeremy with the reconstruction team did a fantastic job getting my basement back together after a failed sump pump. They both communicated well, used professional equipment and got my basement back to how it was looking before in no time. They worked hard and now I am able to enjoy it again. I would highly recommend Servpro especially Jermey and Arturo!

Jordan Calta

We have used ServPro of Gurnee several times for water damage in our new home and have been so impressed every time, cannot recommend them highly enough in an emergency. John, Arturo, Jhon B and Lino all had high levels of professionalism and were so careful with our house. I was nervous with it being new but they took every precaution and got it back to its original state without damage! They did not oversell us but also gave me confidence there wouldn’t be any lasting impact. The office was also great to work with and so accessible. I feel so fortunate to have found this company!

All of the crews did a very good job, Coco and Eli did a wonderful job doing the final cleanup. Would highly recommend

Kevin Suddick

They say everything happens for a reason, and I wonder if the reason we had a kitchen fire was so I could experience the excellent service I got from the ServPro cleaning crew. Starting with Everardo, the crew captain, and all the crew: Julio, Brandon, Coco, Issac, Lino, Arturo, and John B ( I hope I didn't miss anyone). They had the highest work ethic, were polite, and energentic throught the 6 days they worked at our house. It can be unsettling to have strangers in your home, cleaning each and every item that has smoke damage, washing your clothes and packing your belongings to be taken to their facility for cleaning; but because of their professionalism I knew I could trust them. Even my little dogs liked them, and they are particular! I would definately recommend the crew from the Gurnee office to anyone who needs restoration work. They are all invited back for some homemade Horchata once my kitchen restoration is complete!

When life throws you lemons make lemon poundcake 🍋 Thank you to: Young John, Tanner, Isaac Jr, Old Man John, Kyle, and all the other nice men that did my mitigation service. You guys were a true blessing. And to the efficient dispatcher "thank you for getting that call out promptly!" Excellent customer service!!!

Carolyn

William Sweetnam

I highly recommend ServePro of Gurnee. They did a fantastic job of cleaning my basement floors after having drainage installed. They were professional, kind, and extremely thorough.

Terri Chevalier

Ivette and I are beyond happy with our new kitchen! Jenny, Cody, Jeremy, Eli, Bob were awesome. Jenny's communication was excellent. Cody coming out and checking out everything to summit to State Farm. Glad he was very detail oriented because we were missing some cabinets and I didn't know, which could of cost me down the road. Jeremy has this personality that makes it feel you've known him for some time, excellent communication skills as well, overall great guy! Eli and bob were very friendly and obviously knew what they were doing. Any issue that came up Jeremy was on it. Overall Satisfied with Servpro.

Mario Vargas-Justo

Want to send thanks to Kyle, Julio, John R, Arturo, Brandon and John B for being the calm in the storm of a kitchen mess. Thanks for the exceptional professionalism and kindness!
