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.

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.

Alex is the best

Jeremy Mix

Alex and his team was amazing from start to finish. Communication and service was great.

Travis Durham

I made the mistake of calling another company first. After the assessment and waiting 3 days for a return call I finally called ServPro. It’s been over a week and still haven’t heard squat from the other company and Servpro has completed their work already. Sean the project manager scheduled my assessment the next day. Neal the assessor was prompt on time and answered every question I had, especially when work would begin. Once the assessment was completed Sean informed me that a crew would be there. In a few hours Alex the crew chief and crew arrived. The crews main goal was to please me, the customer. The crew was outstanding removing my wet flooring and pad, baseboards, tack strips, and clean up. Day two they were back and finished all the required demo. Sean…….project manager, very professional, customer oriented, and great guy to do business with. Neal……assessor, prompt, professional, customer oriented, great guy to talk with. Alex….crew chief, professional, was there to serve the customer, answered all question, great communication even after they left the premises. The Crew……very hard working people. Servpro should be honored to have these people representing them. ⭐️10 Stars⭐️ for all of them. If you need service in the NWI area DO NOT CALL A COMPANY CALLED RYTECH CALL SERVPRO they will go the extra mile to accommodate all your needs! Thank you Sean, Neil, Alex and crew from ServPro. You guys Rock
