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

Excellent service! Highly recommend. Servpro responded to our plumbing overflow within two hours, Josh handled the cleanup professionally, and kept us updated the entire time. The situation required everything to be moved & packed up, Kate, and Michelle handled all of that work ... perfectly organized. We found all to be prompt, courteous, and reliable—very happy with their work.

Senora and Jaime arrived at our home around 1:00am. A pipe had broken in the wall of our two-story home. Before we could get the water turned off, the entire level was sitting in 4 inches of water. They worked non-stop until 5 am, extracting water and placing fans and dehumidifiers. Despite a stressful situation, they were kind and patiently answered questions. They did an excellent job that night and the follow up has been exceptional.

Kristen Linehan

Servpro came to our home to clean a room severely damaged by a fallen tree. The crew always came when they said they would. They were very polite and communicated the steps they were performing well. A nice couple of women came to wrap up all of the items in the room. They did an outstanding job in well protecting the items. We had some insurance payment delays and the project manager (Michele) was very patient in dealing with us and the insurance company. The whole process was smooth and without issues.

Clay Hotchkiss

Servpro has been so easy to work with. Im still in the middle of my flood clean up but couldn't be happier with the company and employees!

Marla Hershaw

We had a cleaning emergency come up over a holiday weekend, and Luke and the team at ServePro were able to get to us on the same day and get our facility back into shape. The crew was very professional, accommodating and really came through for us during a difficult time. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Nathaniel

My insurance company contracted for remediation services from Servpro due to a failed icemaker connection which resulted in damage to kitchen floor and walls. Servpro staff were timely, efficient and did an excellent job of cleaning up the damage. I couldn’t be happier with their work!

Joe Halton

Thank you to Daniel and Caitlin for coming out on a Sunday evening, Mother’s Day, to help when we needed it. They were professional and easy to work with. We can’t thank them enough for their quick response.

Jerry Schmidt

When the ADU on our property flooded due to a burst pipe, we called ServPro immediately. Dominique reassured me they would take care of everything, and they are. Devan and Michael were there that day to start drying it all out. They were kind and sympathetic as we shloshed through the carpet and got the machines working everywhere. Tracy is working closing with our insurance company. Tara keeps me apprised of every step being taken and what to expect. And the demolition team headed by Josh Scarlett did a great job clearing everything so it all dries and can be safely re-built. His construction knowledge was evident when he met with our contractor. We've used ServPro before. While I hope to never need them again, I strongly recommend them to anyone with a crisis like the one we experienced this week.

Bonnie Barnes

They did good work and Dana did a good job dealing with the insurance company. There was an issue with poor quality work with one of the staff but they resolved the issue and returned to make the work right. This did make the job go a little longer though so that's the reason for 4 stars.
