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.

What our
customers are saying

Very courteous and professional. The guys and the after photos were great. The before pictures were not so great. Definitely recommend them.

Linda,Cyndel and Michaela did a great jog after our basement flood. Hard workers yet very pleasant and professional. I highly recommend Servpro.

Dennis Babcock

I recently had the ice maker line break on my refrigerator and flood my kitchen in the middle of the night. It was not a pleasant morning, but, it got better once I called Servpro. Aaron came out to assess my situation and quickly got the wet flooring removed and fans running so that the house can dry out. He was also very helpful in navigating the process and working with the insurance company. Once dry, Servpro reinstalled my cabinets and floors. Brian and Lance did an excellent job for me and were easy to work with and respectful of my situation and home. I hope I never have to use them again, but if I need these type of services, I’m going to call Servpro!

Roger Moehl

Jay and Brock arrived on time and communicated the steps they were taking to remove the damaged materials - very professional employees.

ARTHUR MILLER

A big shout out to Serv Pro at Michigan City for their awesome work! On Thanksgiving Day, I had the misfortune of having a small porch fire. This was non structural but sent smoke damage into the porch and basement stairwell. The project manager, Barb, was great and put together a crew to mitigate the smoke damage and clean up. I had several different workers on site, but the two gals, Makayla and Amy, were there for two days working in a cold porch and basement stairwell. They did a fabulous job and even discarded the outside damaged materials buried in the snow. If you find yourself in need of quality help in a bad situation, consider Serv Pro of Michigan City to get you back to normal!

Jim Wurster

The Servpro gentlemen were truly pros! They responded quickly to our issue and promptly scheduled a time to do our demo and clean up. They were very responsive and our negotiations were fair. I would absolutely recommend SeevPro of La Porte!
