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

I have Mercury Home Insurance. I had some water damage in my home. I made a claim and my home insurance is associated with ServPro. The professionalism of the crew that arrived was exceptional. I can not praised them enough. Excellent service from beginning to end.

Giovani Merentie

I called on a Thursday afternoon close to 5pm. Not only did someone answer the phone, but they had a representative at my home the next morning to meet with my insurance adjuster. The claim was for a broken water pipe, which then leaked into the ceiling and on the floor. From that first call, to remediation, to the renovation work completion, I received exceptional service from SERVPRO of Dover/Stillwater. They are responsive, dealt directly with my insurance company and with only a minor delivery glitch outside of their control, this team was stellar from start to finish.

Sonia Schenker

This stars in this review are for the 3 Gentlemen, Janel, team leader, Hugo, and Justin. I use that word and mean it. I trusted them to work on my home the following day, without me being home, and my 2 little elderly dogs, when I needed to go to work .They did the removal portion in my home. They worked with me side side, on Weds Aug. 11, 2026. With the time budgeted for my removal project, regarding, water and mold , they worked very hard, and did everything possible to assist me. They also helped me remove a lot of pocessions from my garage / storage area. They carried things out to my front Yard, and secured them with water proof traps I purchased, so that I could go through them as my schedule allowed . This review is for you 3 !

Joanna Provenzale

All team’s members from the office staff to the crew that came to my house to do the remediation (Janel/Hugo) have been great! They all are friendly, courteous and took the time to answer any questions I had. They have made a stressful situation less stressful.

Harry and his team did a great job!

Kenneth Holland

This is the second time using ServPros services and once again I was more than pleased with their service. Everyone from the managers, the mitigation team and the reconstruction team were polite, friendly and very efficient. Their workmanship was excellent and when they left everything was neat and clean. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Aileen Whalen

There was an ice block that damaged my den when it began melting and leaking inside. The service was excellent. Mireilly and Robert walked me through the process. The teams came in a very timely manner. The remediation and restoration were very efficient and professional. Robert continued to follow up to be sure things were going as expected. The team was extremely pleasant and treated my home as they would their own. I could not be more pleased with the final product. I would not hesitate to use their services again. Thanks to John and the entire team!!

About Us

SERVPRO of Dover / Stillwater has been at the forefront of home restoration and remediation here in Morris and Sussex Counties for the past 5 years. Our dedicated owner John E. Blehl began his career as a home adjuster and has brought a wealth of experience to the role, aligning it with our restore over replace mentality. We specialize in home remediation after a fire, water, or mold damage emergency with a rapid response team ready to help you with natural disasters, storms or the cleanup of Biohazard substances.

Our commercial response team has carried out restoration services valued at more than one million dollars but are available to any size disaster. We provide each commercial client with a project manager who can keep you in the loop throughout service. Our emergency contact line is operated 24 hours a day, and we can immediately send a team of technicians with extensive training and IICRC qualifications to your property.

As members of this community, we make an effort to support our first responders. Our support extends to the fire departments in Dover, Byram, Andover, and Morris and Sussex Counties. We even sponsor FF1 and FF2 graduating classes in the Morris County Fire Academy. In this line of work, we find ourselves working near firefighters usually arriving on site shortly after they have packed up and moved on. We witness the size and scale of their everyday work; it is only right to support them, and this community, in any way we can.

Our service is backed up by our personal qualities, experience, and expertise. You can trust us to get the job done because our technicians hold qualifications from the IICRC in a variety of restoration areas. Our specialties are in water damage, fire & smoke damage as well as applied structural drying. However, we go one step further and hold certificates in lead-based paint activities and restoration as well as certified Biorecovery training with some of our technicians completing a ten general/ construction industry training program.

In short, we are here to help you get your property back to its best after damages have occurred, "Like it never even happened."
