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
customers are saying

Thank you Servpro for your excellent job cleaning my basement. Ashley and Jason did a thorough and professional job. They were very professional in their interaction as well. I am very satisfied.

Mary Lou Connolly

We recently had Servpro of Portland and South Portland to our Bridgton home to clean fireplace soot off a very high pine ceiling. We were VERY happy with the results. The crew (Ashley, Jason, Kyle and Jonas) were professional, worked extremely hard and were a pleasure to work with.

Lois Walsh

Ashley and Jason did a world of difference in the house, which I thought would be beyond saving!!

Karen Tibbetts

I recently contacted SERVPRO after experiencing unexpected water damage. Brandon came out for the initial inspection, and I was immediately impressed by his professionalism and knowledge. What stood out even more, though, was how compassionate and understanding he was throughout the process. His advice and reassurance were honestly one of the few bright spots during an otherwise very stressful and unfortunate situation. I truly appreciated his kindness and would highly recommend him.

Maria V

Brandon and his crew were prompt, communicative, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout our service. Highly recommend.

Amy Wu

Ashley was wonderful with communicating every step of the way and any findings. She is very pleasant and knowledgeable.

Michelle Gaudette

Kyle and Chandler were amazing. Professional, respectful, and tremendously competent. Kyle went over and above to ensure that the blood on the carpet was completely removed. He understood my husband was ill and was very kind to him.

Lorrie Lutz

We had a resident flood her apartment on the 2nd floor. Servpro came and quickly cleaned the mess and dried out the apartment. Quick and great service!

Tom Smith

Chandler B. at ServPro was outstanding! He was professional, communicative, and knowledgable. We received all the information we needed quickly, he answered all of our questions, and followed-up. I would recommend ServPro, particularly Chandler, to anyone! Thanks.
