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.

When we originally hired Servpro we assumed the company was from our Milwaukee/Waukesha area. Once I spoke to Brittany in the Servpro office I realized that the Servpro franchise my wife and I were working with that came to perform the water damage restoration services came from the Michigan area. That was not a problem because Brittany communicated thoroughly with us answered all questions as if she was from our area. We had a water damage problem that we needed remedied as soon as possible. When Aiden and Hanna arrived at our house they were fantastic. They came prepared, knowledgeable and had all of the equipment and tools to do the job. They worked very hard, were very prepared and were very courteous. From the first phone call with Brittany to completion of the process it was a very smooth experience for us. We had a great experience dealing with Servpro. It was perfectly completed exceeding our expectations and would highly recommend them! Sincerely Lori and Jim
