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.

Thank you SERVPRO of Emporia! My husband is suffering from mold exposure in our home and is sick. We have done all the mold testing including ERMI with kits purchased on Amazon. Everything kept coming back with high mold spore counts. My husband is in treatment under the care of a Dr. of functional medicine for 10 months now. Still not getting better. We called SERVPRO to come and do professional testing throughout our home. Julie arrived and thoroughly sampled all rooms and crawlspace with professional equipment. She was very knowledgeable and took time to explain the processes, conditions, and risks. We received the report back within the week. We now know what rooms are contaminated and and an action plan to remediate. Her knowledge , professionalism, and compassion has finally given us some peace of mind that our situation is on the way to being resolved. Can't thank Julie enough. She has been a Godsend! Highly recommend Julie and SERVEPRO of Emporia for anyone.

ServPro of Emporia/South Hill was simply THE BEST !!! This group of professionals came to us, and said YES, in our dire time of need! It was a Saturday, it was raining hard, and we had a big flood going on....They arrived quickly, (I believe it was Shane/Dylan/Danielle) and they were SO Great! They worked very very hard and remediated all the water, set up the fans & blowers, and came back again 2 days later to assist in a complete job! Simply the BEST....Thank you all so much

I had a horrible leak under my house that I was unaware of. For months I was sick and couldn't seem to shake it .One day I noticed something on the side of my wall in my bedroom. The mold had grew all the way up and was coming above the height of my bed. I was disgusted. I called Servpro and they came out super fast. Not only cleaned my room, great price, very professional and found where the mold was growing other places. I'm so thankful. And since they took care of the issue I haven't been sick since. Great job yall. And thanks so much
