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.

Ralph and Chance were fantastic.
Chance and James were on site the following morning a sump pump failed. Did great work getting the basement dried out in a few days and gave a report on progress each day. Would recommend.
Our water service line blew underneath our house. It was pumping 155 gal of water an hour into our home, Destroyed alot! Chance and Ralph came in they were very professional, Informational, and courteous to all of our belongings, kids, and even our dogs, they got right to work got the mess cleaned up, got fans going dehumidifiers to get the house dried out. They came back and checked moisture levels in the house and walls, checked for mold spores (as our youngest has bad asthma) to make sure he (our son) and the rest of us would have no issues. They were very thorough and a pleasure to work with, I definitely reccomend this company if you want it done right. They have great communication and show up on time everytime even at the drop of a hat...Thanks Guys very happy with everything!
Chance, Ralph, and Pete came to our house after a bathroom toilet ran over for hours. The quickly started the drying process. After ascertaining the damage, they quickly brought their equipment (4 dehumidifiers and 9 fans) spread throughout the affected areas. And they didn’t leave us hanging for the weekend! Chance came Saturday and Sunday to check the drying process. Finally arriving at the desired levels on Tuesday, saving us from major renovation, they removed their equipment and it’s ready for patching and painting; then some new flooring. Believe me the alternative could have been much worse and much more expensive! Thanks fellows!
Very professional. On time every day. They came the same day they were called.
