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.

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.

Leah Cepko

Mike and his team were fantastic! Very professional and did a great job.

Tyler Stowell

Mike and Angie handled the mitigation work in my home. They were very professional, responsive and transparent. They made the process very understandable and smooth. Even after the mitigation, I’ve reached out to them with questions regarding next steps and they both have been very responsive and helpful! Very pleased!

Charleen Babi

I reached out to ServPro needing a quick turnaround on a mold remediation estimate, and they delivered. They took the time to thoroughly review both the inspection and mold reports before putting together a detailed ballpark estimate! That kind of thoroughness matters when your client is under a deadline. Professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

Ebony Gaines

Mike and Brad were great! They worked well communicating what needed to be done and scheduled a free estimate the day I called and came the day after I signed. Cleaned up black water in my basement and disinfected everything in a few hours! High recommend using Servpro Northern Liberties. See before and after.

Brad Harrison

Highly recommend!! They were professional, efficient & so kind during a stressful, smelly sewage leakage. Will definitely use them again if needed!

Jennifer Lapp

The Servpro techs, Tom, Nicole, Orin arrived promptly and did a great job removing the water damaged area from a leaking water meter in my finished basement. They were knowledgeable, professional, experienced and cleaned up the demo area.It was a job well done!

Nancy Bredbenner

Servpro provided water remediation after our sump pump couldn’t keep up when a historical rainstorm dumped over 12 inches of rain in less than 12 hours. Servpro arrived on time and worked quickly and thoroughly to clean out our basement, apply microbial treatment, and dry it out. The team was courteous and worked together well. They communicated with me every step of the way. The team manager helped us communicate with our insurance and went above and beyond to ensure our insurance adjuster’s understanding of the extent of our water event and subsequent damage. We feel fortunate to have had the service and representation we received from Servpro.

Kasey Johanson

Brad, Tom, Nicole, and Mackenzie were fantastic! They came and resolved the issue without any hiccups. I’m so grateful for their services!
