Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

Sewer system backups, septic tank issues, toilet overflows and clogs in storm and sanitary lines can produce "black water" which is grossly unsanitary and should be considered extremely dangerous. This water contains harmful agents including bacteria and fungi that can cause severe discomfort or sickness.  Black water contamination can occur regardless of visible content or color.  SERVPRO of Southeast Summit County / Lake Township has the trained technicians, equipment and tools to safely clean your home removing the threats caused by these contaminants. It is crucial to quickly get our team on site to prevent further damage to your home or business. Our SERVPRO of Southeast Summit County / Lake Township team will quickly respond and get to work to make your sewage loss "Like it never even happened."

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

We came home to an upstairs toilet overflowing for 4 hours running like a water falls to the first floor and the finished basement. For an older couple it was an overflowing situation beyond our abilities to handle. We called Servpro and Jason was out within an hour and a crew was following shortly to handle the clean up and was professional and great helping us. Jasen had his cruise in as soon as possible doing demolition and removing the damage and preparing our house for rehab rehabilitation. His staff was hard-working, polite, and friendly and great to work with. We are very pleased with the results. We would recommend them to anybody that had any kind of damage damage that needed help right away. We thank them very much for their assistance.

We couldn’t be happier with Servepro. Matt and Mark were amazing. They were courteous, professional and very knowledgeable. They paid attention to detail and worked diligently to get the job done. Honestly, they were a pleasure to have in our home. Trust worthy and personable are qualities that you want from people working in your home daily. Matt and Mark worked so well together which also was an added benefit. We would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!

Cindy Brubaker

Fast and professional service. They did a great job.

Jef Furlong

Our mitigation experience started with Travis who did a very thorough job evaluating our flooding situation which involved 3 floors. He answered all our questions patiently and was a pleasure to work with. He told us exactly what would take place with the rest of his team. We were also happy with our ServPro team members who did the clean up work. They were amazing because their work was neat, thorough and they paid attention to detail. Amanda was such a responsible team leader. She knew exactly what she was supposed to do and did it with accuracy and efficiency with the help of her teammates- Jordan and John. The attitudes, friendliness, and work ethic of all three team members made it easier for us to have to endure the stress of this experience. Even though John was new at the job, his work ethic and respectful behavior were admirable. Jasen, the project manager, was always available in person or by phone to offer advice and support for any of his team’s or our concerns. Finally, Jacob and Tyler listened to our concerns about our ceiling and wall that were open to the freezing garage and covered the open areas in our laundry room (with plastic) which were exposed to our garage so we wouldn’t freeze before the rebuilding could begin. We would gladly recommend this team and ServPro to anyone who needs the services of a restoration company.

Team Fosdic was very thorough and courteous.

Vickie Stalnaker

Mason and Posy were so efficient. They kept the hall to the basement clean with paper runners. They were friendly but serious with the project and worked effectively. I highly recommend Servpro.

Catherine Webster

Everyone we met was fantastic and the work they did was amazing! We weren’t planning on having to do work on our basement, but they made the process easy and our basement is even better than before they started. Dan was the head of our renovation, we are very thankful for him. He was incredibly kind, meticulous and detail oriented. Couldn’t recommend them enough!

Alison Wiswell

Fast and effective water mitigation. Jacob was really professional too

Bryan

Our church suffered a huge fire in our auditorium and the rest of the church was covered in smoke and soot. Servpro came out that night and started to access the damage. They did a complete clean out and mitigation of our entire 27,000 square foot building within 20 days. The communication and attention to detail was outstanding. I always knew what was going on and updated every day. I highly recommend Servpro!
