Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

A sewage backup is one of the most hazardous losses a property near Lake Houston can experience, and it is not a cleanup to attempt alone. When a sewer line backs up, a toilet overflows, or floodwater forces its way indoors during a storm, it brings what the restoration industry classifies as Category Three water, carrying bacteria, viruses, and other dangerous contaminants. SERVPRO of Lake Houston is trained, equipped, and ready to handle these situations safely, responding around the clock to homes and businesses across Atascocita, Harmaston, and the Lake Houston area. Our crews contain the affected area first, then extract the contaminated water and remove porous materials that cannot be safely salvaged, such as soaked carpet, padding, and drywall. We clean and sanitize every affected surface with professional antimicrobial and disinfecting products, then dry the structure completely and verify it has returned to a safe condition. Our technicians follow OSHA safety standards, including bloodborne pathogen protocols, and carry American Bio Recovery Association certification for biohazard work. We document the loss carefully for your insurance carrier. It is worth knowing that sewage backups often require a separate endorsement on a homeowner policy, and we are glad to help you communicate the scope to your adjuster. From the first containment step through final decontamination, our goal is a clean, safe, fully restored space, made “Like it never even happened.® ”

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.

What our
customers are saying

He was so professional, made sure that I had everything that I needed, anything that I asked him to take care of. He made sure to take care of with a smile on his face, and so polite! He did a walk-through to make sure that I was completely happy before I signed the paperwork and I would recommend him to anybody! I have worked with other contractors, and they were nothing up to the caliber that he is! And any future work, I will be calling him and nobody else! His crew is exceptionally nice and polite. They were even good with my dog that’s not good with people! I recommend him a 10 out of 10!!!!

In life you often hear of tragic events that happen to “someone else” but never expect those types of events to happen to you. On September 22nd, 2025 it happened to my family. My wife and I were in the emergency room with my 92 year old mother from very early on that day keeping us away from our home until late that evening. I stayed with my mom in the emergency room and my wife went home to get some much needed rest. The plan was to relieve me the next day. When she walked in our home that night she stepped in water. As you can imagine she was in a panic. I could not leave my mother alone so I called my neighbors who graciously came to help my wife. My next call was to ServPro. Jerry and his crew mobilized and showed up within two hours. He quickly accessed the situation and immediately began to mitigate certain areas to prevent more loss. He updated me every step of the way on the progress during the night which gave me and my family much needed peace of mind. The feeling of helplessness I endured in the beginning by not being able to be on site was quickly alleviated by Jerry’s calm, reassuring demeanor. I hope no one reading this ever has to go through what we went through but they happen more often than we realize. Two things I learned throughout this process - 1) We are so blessed to have special neighbors who will help drop what they are doing and come help you in a pinch day or night and - 2) Call a company like ServPro who has management that are extremely wise enough to hire proffesional people like Jerry and his crew.

About Us

When water, fire, smoke, or mold damages your home or business anywhere in the Lake Houston area, SERVPRO of Lake Houston responds 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year. We serve the communities ringing Lake Houston, from Atascocita and the master-planned neighborhoods of Walden on Lake Houston, Eagle Springs, and Summerwood to the historic timber settlement of Harmaston on the lake's northwestern edge. Our certified local crews know this market, a place defined by the water itself, where custom waterfront homes, lakeside subdivisions, marinas, and the offices and retail centers along FM 1960 and West Lake Houston Parkway all sit within reach of the San Jacinto River and the reservoir it feeds. They also know how fast Southeast Texas weather, from the floodwaters that follow a tropical system and force releases at the Lake Houston dam to the hard winter freezes that burst pipes, can damage a property.

We provide water damage restoration, fire and smoke damage restoration, mold remediation, sewage and biohazard cleanup, storm and flood recovery, specialty and general cleaning, air duct and HVAC cleaning, contents packout, commercial restoration, and full reconstruction. Every project begins with a clear, documented scope of work for your insurance carrier and is explained to you at each step.

What sets SERVPRO of Lake Houston apart is the combination of local knowledge and professional capability. Our crew chiefs and production managers are IICRC certified in Water Damage Restoration, Applied Structural Drying, Fire and Smoke Restoration, Odor Control, and Applied Microbial Remediation. We follow OSHA safety standards, including bloodborne pathogen, fall protection, and respirator protocols, and we carry American Bio Recovery Association certification for biohazard work. We work directly with all major insurance carriers, hold national account status with most, and communicate clearly with your adjuster so your claim keeps moving and closes quickly.

As part of the SERVPRO Team Shaw family and the acclaimed SERVPRO Disaster Recovery Team, with offices in all fifty states, we can scale our response to a single burst supply line or a regional event like Hurricane Harvey in 2017, when San Jacinto River flooding and Lake Houston dam releases inundated thousands of homes around the lake, or the February 2021 winter freeze that ruptured pipes across the region. From an Atascocita lakefront home to a business along FM 1960, we bring the same certified crews and the same standards to every job. Whatever the size of the loss, our goal is the same. We work quickly and thoroughly to make your home or business “Like it never even happened.® ”
