Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

Sewage is the waste that moves through the pipes of someone's home or business on their way to a treatment plant. The movement of sewage in sewer lines is meant to flow in only one direction. It’s meant to move away from your home or business, not towards it. But, the messy reality is that sometimes sewage doesn’t always act the way we hope it would. The watery mess that comes from sewer system backups should be considered unsafe and contaminated — very dangerous stuff! Sewage may contain bacteria and viruses that could cause serious illness. Cleaning sewage is something that should be done by a professional with the right equipment and training. 

To properly address a sewage leak you need the right tools. If you live in the greater Clay County area, including Kansas City, Gladstone, and Liberty let us help you. Our SERVPRO team is prepared and specially trained to address a sewage backup — don’t risk it.

What To Do When Sewage Damage Happens

A sewage emergency is both unexpected and overwhelming.

Planning for a sewage emergency is probably the last thing on any homeowner’s mind. However, sewage damage can happen to anyone, in any home, at any time.

Knowing what to do in those first few moments can help protect your home and health. Here are some recommended steps from SERVPRO.

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.

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

Zion was courteous. Explained everything and put us at ease.

Wendy Hicks

AK, Michael R, and Marco did a great job helping us with our mold problem in our basement / guest bathroom. They were on time, communicated the steps they were taking, and were helpful with any questions we had. Would highly recommend for anyone having similar home problems!

Amanda Dye

We are from the Des Moines metro area and experienced flooding in our area over the 4th of July weekend. Our area was so inundated that our local ServPro teams called in reinforcements from other states. The guys that came today to start the process of drying our basement, Team Bates/Hogan, were awesome! They were friendly, professional and got to work immediately. If you live in the KC metro area, I would highly recommend Cito, Harwy, Nestor and Tomas!! Very good guys!!

L Bremer

Great group of guys that cleaned my basement after city sewer backed up

Pam Hadlock

Insane turnaround time on a Sunday! Erik, Marcos and Albert were at our house in just a couple hours after we had our sewer back up in our basement. In just a few hours they had everything cleaned and the problem spots identified. Can’t thank them enough for the prompt response and hard work! Would highly recommend.

Jordan Desmarais

We had a great experience with Chris, Jesus, and Justin! They got to our issue very quickly. They were efficient, professional, and kept us informed throughout the whole experience!

Bayli Donaldson

Servpro team of Chris, Jesus, and Adomay were efficient, punctual, and polite throughout the whole mitigation process for a water leak in our lower level. Everyone from Servpro went out of their way to take care of the issue.

Maureen Bauer

Mike Elkins, his team, did a wonderful job, as soon as he took over our big job, at our home. Mike, was always on top of everyone; making sure I was happy, & that the job was done correctly, efficiently, and thorough. He was always returning all of my calls/text messages within a short amount of time, and was never hesitate to answer any of my questions. I would recommend Mike, & his Team, to anyone, or for even ourselves, if we found ourselves needing these specific services. When something so traumatizing happens to you and your family, one of the best things to happen, is to have a good team ahead of you, to know how to handle such a traumatizing situation, and that's exactly what happened here! Thank you so much Mike for everything! 🙏

Maria Antoinette Grisafe Combs

We had a considerable amount of water damage from a second floor washer. I called ServPro. From the beginning this team was top notch. Daniel, the project manager, was kind, understanding, professional, and knowledgeable. He walked through the damage with us and the process of drying the house thoroughly, and answered all our questions. He gave us good advice on the process from the beginning of our meeting until our last. AK was an excellent team leader. He was kind, pleasant, professional, and knowledgeable. He worked with attention to detail and as quickly as was possible with the job, but was thorough. Eric and Branger were kind and pleasant. They also worked hard to help mitigate the damage. This whole team was a star team. Every one of the guys were respectful and empathetic. I hope I never have to call Serv Pro remediation again, but if I do, I certainly want this team on the job. I have complete confidence they did everything right and by the book, and they are a dream to work with. Thank you, guys!!!
