Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

Professional Sewage Cleanup

Sewage backups are more than just unpleasant—they're dangerous. Raw sewage contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and contaminants that pose serious health risks. Whether it’s a toilet overflow, sump pump failure, or sewer line blockage, professional cleanup is critical to protect your home or business in Altoona, Tyrone, Hollidaysburg, or Duncansville, PA.

At SERVPRO of Southern Blair, Bedford, and Altoona, we specialize in fast, expert sewage removal and sanitation. Our certified technicians respond 24/7 with the proper equipment and PPE to safely extract, disinfect, and restore affected areas. We follow OSHA and EPA protocols to ensure every surface is fully cleaned and safe to use.

Sewage is categorized into three levels: Category 1 (clean water), Category 2 (gray water), and Category 3 (black water)—the most hazardous, containing harmful bacteria, viruses, and contaminants.

DIY sewage cleanup is never worth the risk. Improper handling can lead to long-term property damage, structural issues, and mold growth. Our crews not only remove the mess but also address moisture hidden behind walls, under flooring, and inside structural cavities to prevent future problems.

SERVPRO Team Weaver has the largest network of restoration resources in Central PA, paired with local expertise and rapid response times. We’ve earned the trust of homeowners, property managers, and businesses by doing the job right—the first time.

Call us the moment sewage strikes. We’re here to help you get back to safe, clean, and normal—fast.

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.

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.

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.

I was so happy to hear that this office will now be managed by the pro's who run Ebensburg SERVPRO. I've seen their quality of work at my place of employment and have no doubt they will raise the Altoona SERVPRO to that same standard. Congrats Altoona!

Steve is awesome to work with. He went above and beyond. Would give 10 stars if I could.

John Partner is the weekly cleaner where I work. His professionalism and attention to detail is amazing. I see him as a perfect fit to our large office family. John is happy to help any way he can and he always performs his tasks in a safe manner. We feel blessed to have such a hard worker that takes pride in what he does. Thank you SERVPRO for hiring John to service our office cleaning needs. We truly appreciate him.

Heidi Metz

The Laskey's of Hollidaysburg had a water-line backup in March. Called ServPro and they came, the day of the call. Beckie, (all the Jims), Chuck, Bryan and those we might have forgotten, did efficient, exceptional work, on walls, flooring and restoration. We are extremely satisfied, with ServPro workers who did over-and-above what is required. Qualified, knowledgeable, friendly and willing to compromise, with us. ServPro's qualified experts are to be commended.

Terry Laskey

I had a fire last July and Servpro was recommended. From the crew chief who walked me through the process, the cleanup crew and the contractors who surpassed every expectation I had, I got back a home that is absolutely perfect. In a very difficult situation they all made it alittle bit easier to get through it. I would recommend this company to anyone who would ever be in need of their service.
