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

My house was destroyed before they came, absolutely spotless now

Maxx Cohen

They helped us with some smoke remediation. They came out on a Saturday evening within a few hours of us calling and had the smell gone by Monday.

Bret Roesner

SERVPRO did a great job at our Altar’d State store in Charleston. They were prompt, professional, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. What really stood out was that they took the initiative to coordinate with the plumber we had scheduled, helping address the root cause of the leak instead of just the damage. Great people to deal with—highly recommend.

Mike Weaver

Michael Watson was very polite and professional and handle business

desmond powell

We called Servpro when water started pouring through our ceiling due to a leak on the floor above us. They were so easy to work with, came out within 30 minutes of the issue, immediately got to work, communicated everything with us as they went, and on top of all that, were extremely friendly. Shout out to Dustin and John for taking care of us!

Amanda Stephens

We experienced a water leak on our 2 nd floor. The ServPro team arrived and explained exactly what needed to be done. They coordinated with the insurance company adjuster and the team effort has turned out to be fantastic. The ServPro employees were exceptionally talented and professional and the results are exactly what we had hoped for when we started. They did what they said. We are very pleased. Our new flooring and repairs returned our home back to its original look and feel.
