Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

24/7 Sewage Cleanup in Minneapolis, Minnesota

A sewage backup can spread contaminated water through basements, bathrooms, utility areas, or multiple units in a residential or commercial building. Our trained technicians provide 24/7 sewage cleanup and emergency water removal throughout Minneapolis, Minnesota, including the Powderhorn, Central, Lyndale, and Uptown neighborhoods. We use advanced extraction, moisture-detection, drying, cleaning, and odor-control equipment to address affected areas and hidden moisture. Our team responds to basement drain backups, overflowing toilets, damaged sewer lines, wastewater intrusion, and commercial sewage losses. After evaluating the property, we establish appropriate work areas, remove standing water, clean restorable surfaces, and identify contaminated materials that may require controlled removal.

Sewage cleanup services include:

  • Emergency contaminated-water extraction
  • Basement sewage and water cleanup
  • Commercial sewage cleanup
  • Cleaning of affected structural surfaces
  • Controlled removal of damaged materials
  • Structural drying and odor control

Minneapolis, Minnesota, has many older homes and commercial buildings with aging drain connections. Heavy rain, rapid snowmelt, frozen ground, root intrusion, and overloaded sewer lines can increase the chance of a backup.

Because wastewater may contain bacteria and other harmful contaminants, avoid direct contact and keep occupants, pets, customers, and employees away from affected areas. We communicate clearly with homeowners, landlords, property managers, and business owners throughout cleanup. Whenever a sewage emergency affects South Central Minneapolis, our team is ready to help the local community recover quickly, carefully, and safely.

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.
