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.
What our
customers are saying
This team did a great job helping us out when so many people in our area were affected by flooding. They worked quickly to get our house cleared out of water-damaged items and get our basement dried out. Everyone on the team was polite and friendly while doing their jobs. They also did an excellent job with communication. I'd like to especially point out the great work by Dylan, Elijah, Robert, Jordan, and Justin. I hope I haven't left anyone out because they all did a fantastic job.
Joe, Kevin, Ever and team worked late hours getting our basement flooring and trim removed and everything drying. We appreciate their hard work, communication and professionalism while helping us recover after an unfortunate event.
Deveon showed up quickly after we called and worked efficiently to get our carpet dried out. Joe Kevin also came and helped with getting all the air movers and dehumidifiers in place to keep the water in our basement from moving into the sheet rock from what had already been done. Appreciate their quick and efficient service!
Responsive, honest, and very helpful. Highly recommend. Specially want to thank Josiah for all his help. Much appreciated 👏
I can’t remember exactly, but I think a man’s name was Joe Kevin Romero, or something like that. He was a great talker, professional, pretty knowledgeable. The team overall was really pretty great. I’d give them an A-based on the hours, the different modes of work, the professionalism, the efficiency, the thoroughness, and the results. Great job guys! We will pray for no mold and proceed with reconstruction (but very minimal, this place will flood again!!…it’s so traumatic.). Thank you ServPro!
Hunter was great in his inspection!
The Hickman team was called down to help the central Iowa area to help after a big storm. They were extremely accommodating helpful and friendly. It obviously be a frustrating situation for my household they were easily a bright spot. From getting ahold of them at almost any time, to scheduling. All of them were tactful in answering questions and giving recommendations. I needed to rent equipment from them. It was easy, extremely helpful, and swift. I thought it’d be days but it was only one. They were not trying to extend the rental. I told them what I wanted and they made sure everything I wanted dry was dry. I would recommend them to anybody.
Did a great job. Quick and friendly. Respectful of property
The team did a great job on short notice after a major flood happened in the area. So many houses were affected and they made it out to ours in less than a week. They got everything out of the basement, mopped, and sanitized very quickly and were careful with all our things we wanted to keep. We would definitely recommend them to anyone!
