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.

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

My husband and I moved from another state to Fargo for retirement purposes and to be closer to family. We sent our belongings ahead of the trip in a pod which was then stored in Fargo. We arrived in Fargo and were tired from this long trip and the thought of unpacking and moving all of this up two flights of stairs into our new place was not appealing. We contacted and had Serv Pro come out to help move everything. They did not disappoint. Thank you to Fabian and Kenny. I know these bins and furniture were heavy and at our age, lifting these was just not possible. They let us know when they were coming, were very personable and got to work. They got all of our belongings unloaded and did this in no time. We very much appreciate the efforts of these two. We would definitely use this company again. Thanks again Fabian and Kenny.

Luke Schlosser

We had a major water issue impact much of our house…. While the entire ordeal was awful, working with Serv Pro was outstanding. Jim, AK, Kenny and crew were friendly, hard working and fantastic communicators. We always knew when they’d be there and the next steps in our home. We especially appreciated Jim and his patience, care and understanding. Absolutely recommend this entire crew and team.

Mitch Quick

I recently had the unfortunate experience of mold in our bathroom. From the initial call to the final walk through, Jim, Dale and Fabian, demonstrated the highest level of professionalism every step of the way. They arrived when they said they would and articulated what needed to be done, treated our home with respect and care. They also helped us through the insurance process. Thank you SERVPRO!

Laura Parochka

We had ServPro remove two stains in our home. We were very pleased with the quality of work, results, and the technician, Tyler, who did the cleaning. Tyler was professional, courteous, and willing to work with our specific requests.

Eddie Dunn

My sump pump quit so had water throughout my completely finished basement. Proserve worked to remove all damaged carpet/ flooring and removed baseboards. They ran all the necessary equipment to dry the area and save the sheetrock. They communicated well and were timely. I was very happy with their work.

Cindy Erbes

Last week on Monday had a sewer backup through the floor drain down in my laundry room. What a mess, called ServPro and they had things under control by the end of the day. They cleaned things up, took out the damaged carpet and baseboards. Also sprayed for mold and had fans running to dry out the damage areas. Really want to give shoutout to Tyler, Dale and Fabian who had the thankless job of getting things cleaned up. They were very professional and kept me informed on every step of what needed to be taken out. Very happy for ServPro and their competent staff!

Michael Paulson

We spotted mold in our downstairs basement. I did a quick search for mold restoration and ServPro came up as one of the higher rated companies in the area, and I can see why! The customer service is excellent, my wife and I felt listened to and like all of our questions were answered. Jim Longtin is the assessor that visited our home to complete assessment and provide recommendations. Jim is professional, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. He truly cares about the customer! He did a thorough job, and answered all of our questions. Jim took the time to explain the logic behind what he was doing and shared wisdom that made my wife and I feel reassured that, "This guy knows his stuff." Keep up the great work, Jim, we appreciate all your help!

Tyler Strand

Darin and Fabian did an excellent, diligent steam cleaning of a sewer break at a local business. Was not an easy job, actually in a small tunnel. Friendly , easy to work with. Cleaned up after...restored area like nothing happened. Thanks!!!!

Meet Trevor Rossum

Did you ever hear the saying that the right job will find you? Well, this is what happened to Trevor Rossum, the owner of SERVPRO of Fargo and two other area SERVPRO franchises. For seventeen years, Trevor sold healthcare software and learned about SERVPRO when he attended a SERVPRO tradeshow as a vendor. While at the tradeshow, he knew he wanted to become involved with the restoration industry and shift his focus to owning a business and serving people in one of their greatest times of need. Trevor opened his first franchise in Alexandria, MN.

“The greatest reward of my job is getting the opportunity to serve our customers with empathy and compassion while they are experiencing the aftermath of an emergency.”   ---   Trevor Rossum

Four years later he was presented with the opportunity to expand their business. After several months of consideration and reflection, he put his resources together and purchased the franchise in the Fargo, ND. Trevor and his team is ready to serve the Fargo area and we are grateful to be a part of this community.

When Trevor is not assisting customers with putting their lives back together, you can find him spending time with his wife, watching their two kids playing on numerous sports teams including basketball, volleyball, hockey, and golf!
