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.

What our
customers are saying

Austin was very helpful and made me feel much better about this big problem I am having.

lucy fuller

In one word...AMAZING!! From Austin coming to do the estimate to Courtney Archie and Q doing the cleaning and even Kelly helping me by phone - each one understood my awkward, embarrassing situation and from each I received assurance and compassion and a promise to fix it. I just don't believe you usually find that type of customer care - and I mean care, not reading a script, in today's business world. Kind words (received many) go a long way to help in a traumatic situation. And their cleaning - oh my gosh!! When I walked in, my house smelled good and just that was great. But when I saw the horrible rooms they basically made new, I literally could not believe it was the same place. I so much appreciate their help with this and know for sure that if something like this should happen again, ServPro Richland County will be my 1st call.

I had a great experience with the SERVPRO crew Austin, Dominic, and Princenton during the water mitigation work at my home. The team was professional, responsive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Dealing with unexpected water damage can be stressful, but the SERVPRO crew made the mitigation process much easier to manage. I really appreciate their professionalism, communication, and hard work. Thank you to the entire team for your help!
