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.

I called Servpro when my toilet overflowed and totally flooded my basement. I could not have been happier with the service I received from Servpro. They arrived within 30 min and confidently took control of a situation that was very stressful for me. They were confident, knowledgeable and immediately treated my basement as if it were their own. They gave great advice on the mitigation efforts, helped me make some decisions and were able to start right away the following morning.

SERVPRO of Oak Park did a great job! Fast and efficiently solved my basement flooding problem. And I do mean fast! My insurance agent Kathleen Costello recommended them, and followed 2 days late to see how they did, which was great. A sump pump in.my basement failed and I had a lot of water. I called Monday morning at 915, by 1030, Greg was standing in my basement, by 11 we had a plan of action. By 1230, Julio and his team of Juan, Mark, Rob, Derek, and Everarado were working. They move a lot of fragile and difficult stuff, extracted the water, filled the basement with large dehumidifiers and fans. Julio assured me that the equipment would stay until everything was dry. We could still get to areas because the arranged eventing carefully. The Servpro recommended plumber arrived as promised at 4 pm and replaced the sump pump. 3 days later, Julio and his team returned, checked the moisture content and we all agreed it was dry. Then they reversed the process, removed the fans and put everything back in place. Julio walked me through when they were done to make sure I was satisfied. Fabulous job!
