Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

When a sewage backup affects your home or business, quick action matters. Beyond the obvious mess and odor, sewage water can contain bacteria and other harmful contaminants and may cause additional damage the longer it sits. SERVPRO Team McGuire provides professional sewage cleanup and restoration services throughout Central Illinois, helping residential and commercial property owners safely get back to normal.

Our IICRC-certified technicians have the training, equipment, and cleaning products needed to handle contaminated water properly. We begin by removing sewage and standing water, then thoroughly clean, sanitize, and dry affected areas. Our team also addresses lingering odors and evaluates impacted materials to determine what can be restored and what may need to be removed.

Sewage emergencies rarely happen at a convenient time, which is why SERVPRO Team McGuire is available 24/7 for emergency response. Acting quickly can help limit how far the damage spreads, protect unaffected areas of the property, and reduce the potential for more extensive repairs.

From an overflowing toilet or backed-up drain in a home to a significant sewage loss in a commercial facility, our team has the equipment, experience, and resources to manage the cleanup from beginning to end. When sewage damage disrupts your property, SERVPRO Team McGuire is ready to respond and make it “Like it never even happened®.”

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

Had an issue with a dead mouse in a heating vent. Servpro was able to come out and locate the critter and remove it in about 10 minutes. Very professional and extremely glad that I called them.

Frank Hoskins

I want to thank the ServPro team from the bottom of my heart for everything they did for me and my family during one of the hardest times of my life. Their support and kindness while I was walking through my father’s passing meant more than I can ever express. It was not just the work they did, it was the way they did it; with patience, compassion, and a willingness to help wherever it was needed. They showed up with such humanity, and that made all the difference. In a moment when everything felt overwhelming, they helped carry some of the weight. I will never forget that. ServPro gave me more than service; they gave me comfort, and I will always hold that with deep gratitude.

Deena Dufour

Dana Rowland

Several months ago my basement flooded due to a sump pump malfunction. There were several inches of water on the floor and it was soaking into the furniture, storage items, EVERYTHING was going to be ruined, or so I thought. I live alone and I started to panic when I remembered the SERVPRO slogan of "Like it never even happened"! Hoping that they could save my belongings, I called. THEY WERE WONDERFUL!! They had started mitigation just a couple of hours after the inspector came out and in a very short time after that the water was gone and they had their equipment set up to dry everything out. I was amazed at their speed and efficiency! They worked seamlessly with my insurance adjustor, were unfailingly polite and always were willing to answer my many questions. I can't praise them enough and I would highly recommend them for any service that their company offers. I will always call SERVPRO first for any of my home issues.

Deb Mooney

Their Mitigation and construction team greatly helped me out when my basement flooded. Staff was great to deal with from top to bottom! I would definitely recommend.

Abby Rowe

After my upstairs neighbor's hot water heater burst, my neighbor told me to call SERVPRO. They came right out and took over. They got rid of wet carpet and flooring very quickly. The team was in good spirits and even made us laugh. 10/10 recommend!
