Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

Sewer backups should be considered an emergency since the water may contain viruses, bacteria, and other microbes that cause serious illnesses. Sewage backups are considered dark water intrusions and are more than just nasty, smelly deposits – these damages also introduce harmful microorganisms into a structure. We remove the sewage, contaminants, and moisture, and help ensure the structure is properly cleaned, disinfected, and deodorized.

The highly trained team at SERVPRO of Oconee/South Anderson Counties has the specialized products and equipment to quickly and safely clean contaminants from your home.

Water damage can be classified by the three types of contaminated water.

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.

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.

What our
customers are saying

We had a septic tank disaster in June . Michael quickly came to our rescue with his cleaning/spraying team. Then came Angelina and Dory to pack our entire downstairs ( !! ) and move everything into a Mobile Attic in our driveway. They were friendly and cheerful, patient with our stress, and very efficient as they packed and moved our things. They helped to ease the pain of a stressful situation. Thank you ServePro!

When the city sewer backed up into our basement, ServPro responded immediately. Mike and Joe, Hayley and Elise, and their team did fantastic work. Elise and Hayley especially went out of their way to salvage what was important to us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them if this type of service is needed.

Mary Ann McKay

Joe and Mike have been fantastic in helping with removal of water damaged ceiling and floors, and getting our home dried out. They are friendly and personable, I would recommend them highly.

ServPro did an excellent job getting my flooded basement cleaned up. They were very responsive and arrived quickly. They monitored the air quality and the flooring and walls on a daily basis. The team that came out (Stryder and Austin) were awesome! Thanks so much for a wonderful job. Sara Crane

We had a significant flood at our church. SERVPRO was great to work with. We talked to a couple companies before beginning the work. The other company didn’t understand how to deal with insurance. SERVPRO knew how to draw everything up with the details the adjustor needed to do his job. The project took a while and anytime I needed something, they were only a text away. Our project was completed over a year ago. I noticed something was still not quite right with something. I sent them a text to see if they could check it out. They not only came the next day, they were able to fix it on the spot. I am very satisfied with the end result and their willingness to stand behind their work. Highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a company to do water remediation and other repairs. Extra shout out to Richard for being so great to work with!

Joe Steele
