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
We had them come for entire house carpet cleaning. The carpets looked great and the house smelled clean and fresh. Scheduling was easy, pricing was reasonable and staff very polite. We will definitely use this group again!
I had a bad water mess emergency. Antonio and Brandon were absolutely awesome and my wife and I are hard to please. Extremely responsive, available and very respectful to our needs. The work was professional and the cleanup as they worked was greatly appreciated. They assisted in lowering our stress levels and helped us understand the entire process. You can't go wrong with this team. I hope I never see them again but if I need help they are the team to call.
Jason and Cole Hegyi did an outstanding job assisting with my home restoration. They handled everything from start to finish in a professional, efficient, and timely manner while keeping me informed throughout the entire process. Their communication, attention to detail, and customer service made a stressful situation much easier to deal with. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of restoration services.
Antonio, Joe and his team were great . Very professional and thorough. I highly recommend ServPro Antonio, Joe & his excellent team! Thank you !!
Antonio and his team did an incredible job drying and cleaning our basement after a burst pipe! They have been kind, thorough, and communicative throughout the process. While I don't recommend a flooded basement, if you find yourself in that situation, I can't recommend this team highly enough. They took care of everything, worked directly with my insurance, and gave us peace of mind under otherwise stressful circumstances. Thank you!
Nathan, Gabe, and Ron went above and beyond in their service at our home. They were efficient, friendly, and helpful with all of our needs, and we would highly recommend their services to anyone.

Great customer service. It was awesome working with Taylor, she knows exactly what she’s talking about. If you need any restoration services, this is the company to reach out to!
We had a water supply line to our second-floor bathroom break. We had water damage in the bathroom and it leaked down to the first floor ceiling of the living room as well. We called our agent and the agent referred a plumber and he referred Servpro to help with the water damage. Plumber came in and made repairs same day and Servpro came in the same day as well. The Servpro guys explained everything they were going to do to mitigate the water loss. And said they could also do the repairs which we did not expect. We feel very comfortable through the whole process. They were very professional.
