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.
Avoid all contact with sewage-contaminated water
Turn off the main water supply to prevent additional flow
Shut down HVAC systems to stop contaminated air from circulating
Evacuate people and pets from affected areas
Call SERVPRO immediately for professional cleanup
Work with SERVPRO to contact your insurance company and document the damage
Steps in Our Sewage Damage Restoration Process
Sewage Removal & Contamination Control
Sewage backup emergencies carry viruses and bacteria that cause serious illnesses. Our SERVPRO professionals will address immediate hazards and stabilize the affected area. We clean up sewage spills and biohazards using specialized equipment and training, thoroughly and safely from start to finish.
Sanitization and Deodorization
Using our meticulous state-of-the-art protocols, our team of experts ensures that your home or building is safe and thoroughly clean. After sanitization, advanced equipment helps us find and eliminate any hidden moisture, so you know your structure is dry.
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.


Simplifying Insurance
We make insurance claims easier, with fewer headaches for you. We handle the details and coordinate any paperwork, so you can focus on moving forward.
We thoroughly document the damage and communicate clearly with you and your insurance throughout the process.
Your insurance provider trusts SERVPRO to respond quickly — we address sewage issues swiftly to control costs, prevent further damage, and keep the insurance process moving smoothly.


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
Called regarding a flooded basement. They were able to help me navigate through the process, arrived on time and did a thorough job with cleanup. They addressed all concerns with water removal and preventing mold growth. They also took care with moving personal items and preventing any damage. I was very impressed with the job and happy with the service provided, exceeded all expectations.
My family has used Karl's team several times over the years and the experience and results are always consistent... exceptional service, fast, high quality work and pleasant to work with. I also found much peace knowing that I had a team that managed the claims process for us. I speak from experience, that when your family is hit with a disaster (including the loss of personal effects, heirlooms and even loss of space) you are stressed and emotional. The last thing you want to do is have to make critical, long-lasting decisions all by yourself. This team lifts that burden and works directly with the third parties. They effectively communicate any concerns or decision points so you know exactly where you are in the process. They also leave the place looking (and smelling) better than it was even prior to the disaster and were always careful to not disturb or dirty the non-damaged parts of the house. And, once the job was done... it was done. No lingering issues or follow ups. After the last flood, I felt as if a huge was weight lifted when I saw the truck roll up. I knew it would all be ok because we had the BEST team on it. I have recommended this team to family and friends (who have thanked me for the referral after using them) and I I highly recommend this team to everyone else!
Karl and his staff are an A+ team of professionals who are not only knowledgeable but diligent and thorough. It is wonderful to see such loyalty to their customers and they show it by how they stand by their customer-first service approach. We have used them several times over the years to assist with professional cleanings (especially during COVID) and with a claim. They are a fantastic group with fast (yet thorough) turnaround times and high quality outcomes. I would highly recommend this team!
From beginning to end, the service we received was top notch. The cleaning team was professional and hardworking and the results impeccable. Thank you!
Two days before Thanksgiving a fire destroyed the home next door and significantly damaged ours. Tragically, one person did not survive. Within hours, SERVPRO arrived at our home with an air quality monitor and air scrubber that we didn't even know we needed. They left them here through the weekend, and removed them all at no cost to us. It was so reassuring to know that the air in our home was safe during such a traumatic time. We are forever grateful.
We had a flooded basement, team came over and took care of the damaged materials. They were very careful to keep the floors clean and very very efficient. They also responded quickly to our call for service/help. Would definitely recommend.
We had a great experience dealing with Karl and his crew. Will definitely recommend to anyone needing remediation services.
So professional and extremely thorough
Our attic needed a deep clean from a messy roofing job and years of dust. Now we could eat dinner on the floor up there. Not a speck of dust got down to our second floor, everything was protected. Very satisfied customer.
