Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

Sewage Cleanup and Disinfection

Sewage system backups consist of grossly unsanitary water that can pose a serious health threat. Unless these biohazard incidents are handled using specialized gear and processes, they can cause illnesses through the spread of viruses and bacteria.

Since 2009, SERVPRO of Alexander, Caldwell, Burke and Catawba Counties has worked with hundreds of homes and businesses in the Hickory, Lenoir and Morganton, NC communities to keep their properties clean and safe from sewage backups. Our professionals are IICRC-certified and use PPE and other equipment to safely clean and remove sewage. We'll also sanitize affected areas to prevent the spread of any pathogens that may have been present. Our goal is to make any incident "Like it never even happened."

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.

Sewage Removal & Contamination Control

We clean up sewage spills and biohazards using specialized equipment and training, thoroughly and safely from start to finish.

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

Alan at Servpro was very responsive to assess the damage from an exploded lithium-ion battery. He gave proper quotes and estimates and was able to mobilize the team quickly. Juana and her team did a great job cleaning out the mess and thoroughly getting into all the places where the smoke had left soot. Thank you all for your work to help me get back to normal.

When I had a mold issue in my home, Andrew and Mick came out and immediately placed air scrubbers and de-humidifiers. Then their team wiped everything down. Servpro really made me feel like I was the only customer they had! They were efficient and knowledgeable about my situation. I can't say enough about how much they put me at ease. I highly recommend this company!

Appalachian Stone

Alan and the team worked hard to get a tough job completed. I appreciate the fact that Alan came out and reviewed the jobsite, took feedback on a few items, and allocated additional time to ensure the job was completed in its entirety.

Jonathan always answered any questions that I had. The work was done the next day from when I called. Would use ServPro again.

On Sept 3rd 2025 at 2am we had a terrible house fire. We lost half of our belongings and our house had to be gutted from foundation up. ServPro came in ready Monday at 7 rocking and rolling ready to go. These ladies worked nonstop. Hard as a crew of men, excuse me, HARDER then the crew who rebuilt our house. Lol. Amazing, caring, kind, supportive and more. The head lady, Kaitlyn, over Packing at ServPro and her team, Jeslin & Araceli busted butt! Throwing away items damaged, packing item possibly salvagable and comforting us, making us laugh, showing kindness and professionalism all in one. We couldn't have done this without their awesome help. The special cleaning crew Ana, Maribel, Ingrid, Dania professionaly cleaned our clothes, shoes, books, picture frames to my China and dinner set and silverware. Unbelievable! We had nothing but the clothes on our backs when we left our home at 4am that early morning. Our State State Farm Adjuster & Tammy Gragg got ahold of our agent who gave us Emerg.money to buy clothes, food, medications. This amazing Business needs to be recognized in Lenoir News, given an Award for Esteemed Service for such an amazing job they do for the citizens in our Community and ALL over. We couldn't have been more BLESSED with such a great group of hard wrking women. Tammy Gragg, be Proud of your team!

April Baker

We had an exceptional experience with SERVPRO of Alexander, Caldwell & Burke Counties, especially during the busy turn season. Tammy, the team lead, was incredibly organized, professional, and flexible when navigating the typical challenges that come with turn. Ingrid, Leyda, Juana, Kaitlyn, and Maricruz were absolutely amazing! They were thorough, hardworking, and paid close attention to detail. The entire team went above and beyond to make sure the cleaning was done properly and to a high standard. We truly appreciate their professionalism, communication, and willingness to work with us throughout the process. We would highly recommend SERVPRO of Alexander, Caldwell & Burke Counties, to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and hardworking cleaning team!

About Us

Our Story

Hi, we’re Kim and Randy Williams, the proud owners of SERVPRO of Alexander, Caldwell, Burke and Catawba Counties.

After years in the restoration and cleanup industry, we decided to start our own SERVPRO franchise, which we incorporated in January 2009, just after the recession hit. While it was a slow start, we took every job and treated our customers with empathy and respect. Today, we have over 70 employees and operate four franchises that serve the entire Unifour region, including Lenoir, NC; Morganton, NC; Hickory, NC; Newton, NC; and Conover, NC. Our employees take to the streets 24/7/365 to meet the disaster restoration needs of our customers. We are here to help and make any size disaster “Like it never even happened.”

Our Employees

Our mission is to develop a team of quality people who focus on excellent service, fairness and mutual respect. This simple concept has driven our growth and we believe will continue to do so for years to come. All of our employees are uniformed, energetic, and ready to respond to emergencies. We are also a Clean Trust (IICRC) Certified Firm, and all of our Crew Chiefs are certified technicians!

Because we are part of a nationwide system of qualified franchises, no damage is too large or too small for our team of heroes!

Our Services

We offer a wide range of services to our communities with a 98% satisfaction rate from surveys conducted with our customers. Our local services include, but are not limited to: commercial and residential fire, smoke and soot damage, water restoration, mold mitigation and remediation, biohazard cleanup, deodorizing and much more.

In the last few years, we have performed fire damage cleanup and restoration and/or water damage mitigation for Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Valley Hills Mall, South Park Mall in Charlotte, Hildebran town hall and Bernhardt Furniture in Lenoir.

We are also certified as an LLRT (large loss restoration team) through SERVPRO corporate and have deployed teams to disasters such as Superstorm Sandy, the floods of Chicago and the devastation of our east coast by Hurricane Florence.

We are a preferred vendor for large insurance companies and participate by invitation in structured vendor programs and contracts.

Our State-of-the-Art Equipment

We operate an on-site textile cleaning facility and warehouse for recovering damaged items from fire and smoke damage. The cleaning room has commercial washers, dryers and an Esporta cleaning system (capable or restoring over 85% of items previously considered non-restorable).

We also have ultrasonic equipment, an ozone room and a heated drying chamber to properly dry materials. The ultrasonic machines allow us to clean items that previously would have been claimed unsalvageable!

Community Involvement

We serve our community beyond our cleanup and restoration services; we encourage our employees to become involved in community activities and groups. We are active participants in community events such as the NC Fire and Safety Bowl competition, local festivals and parades. We support and participate in local causes that benefit schools, first responders and charitable community organizations.

We also strive to educate our clients and customers through CE classes offered quarterly at no cost, as well as “lunch and learns” periodically to increase knowledge of services offered.
