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

Had the Servpro crew come to my facility to do a dep clean on our locker room areas. Floors, walls, lockers, bathrooms, shower stalls and floors. Jose, Janel and Amilcar were part of the team. Everyone showed up promptly and got right to work. They spent almost 9 hours and everything looked and smelled amazing when they were finished. Everyone was pleasant and professional, I would highly recommend calling Servpro for any detailed cleaning issues you may have

Christopher Hemmings

Truly amazing DAISHA walked me through every aspect of the water remediation. she had complete and total respect for my She that I was heartbroken over and as a woman she completely understood not to minimize the men who did an amazing job RENDY & GEO. To say the least it is a very difficult situation to go through . I’m 4 weeks into this project staying at a hotel. I only wish everybody had the work ethic that Daisha , RENDY & GEO have. 4 weeks later, the only work that was completed is the work that they did. I’m meeting tomorrow with contractor for interior of my home from Servpro. I’m looking forward to guidance as how to handle the rest of this journey. Highly recommend this company.

Debbie Bickham

After sustaining water damage to my home, Daisha, Rendy and Geo, arrived, settled my anxiety and quickly cleaned up the damage. The crew was professional took great care to protect my belongings, Daisha kept me informed during the entire process. Thank you

Nancy English

The ServePro of Great Sussex County team - Jose, Bill, Tyler, Franco and Sebastian - are a team of true professionals. They took care of our home after we sustained wind and water damage, and made a stressful time for us run smoothly. They are punctual, work efficiently, and care about their work. I would highly recommend them!

Simone Knaap

Daisha, Rendy, Geo arrived on time and did an outstanding job cleaning up my basement. Super polite and professional. Thank you so much.

james Flatt

The entire ServPro team was awesome to work with. My house had water damage that required me to go through home owners insurance. While that part took a while, ServPro stayed on top of it and started the work as soon as it was approved. Bill's team was super nice and efficient, being very respectful to my home while they had to do some significant demo. Robert and his team put everything back together perfectly (even down to the light switch covers, moving back all the furniture, and making sure to leave the newly installed floors spotless).

Maria Cafferata

I contacted Servpro of Greater Sussex County to inspect water damage in my finished basement bathroom. My project manager, Jose, arrived promptly, was very professional, and provided an honest and thorough estimate. I highly recommend this Servpro team!

Eric England

We had a sink overflow in our basement laundry room mid- morning on Friday 10/24. Frank, Hugo & Danilo arrived the same afternoon at 1:30 and by 3:00 they were finished extracting the water, taking out a large area rug to be cleaned, removing some wood trim and cutting out some sheet rock that was wet and putting in a de-humidier along with 8 fans to completely dry the basement. We are very pleased with the expedience and caring that they showed. They are the go to team to take care of water problems. Thanks a lot guys!

Kevin Prendergast

Nicho and his crew did a great job with an emergency water situation in my basement. I called and they were there within 2 hours, and took care of everything! Very respectful of my house and cleaned up very nicely.
