Why Choose SERVPRO® for Sewage Cleanup?

Cleaning up sewage in your home can be a daunting task, but it is important to address the issue promptly to prevent further damage and to protect your health. Here are the best steps to clean up sewage in your home:

  1. Safety First: Make sure to wear protective gear such as gloves, boots, and a face mask to avoid contact with the sewage and to protect your health.
  2. Identify the source of the sewage: Determine the source of the sewage and stop it if possible. If the source cannot be stopped, contain it as much as possible to prevent further spread.
  3. Ventilation: Open windows and turn on fans to help with ventilation and to reduce the risk of exposure to harmful bacteria and fumes.
  4. Remove Contaminated Materials: Remove all contaminated materials, including carpets, furniture, and other items that have come into contact with the sewage. Place these items in plastic bags for disposal.
  5. Clean Surfaces: Clean all surfaces that have come into contact with the sewage, including walls, floors, and counters, using a solution of water and a disinfectant or a commercially available sewage cleaner.
  6. Dry the Area: After cleaning, make sure to dry the area thoroughly to prevent mold growth. Use fans or dehumidifiers to help speed up the drying process.
  7. Dispose of Waste Properly: Place all contaminated materials, including rags and cleaning solutions, in plastic bags for disposal. Do not flush anything down the toilet, as this can contaminate the water supply.

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.

The day after the tornado Servpro was at our condo bright and early to start what they do. Besides physical support they were moral support for me. Every time I had a question they did what they could to get me an answer. Always got a call back or a text. What a great company with great employees.

Betty Seaborne

I was blessed to have this company come !! They came from out of state to help with a severe storm that ravaged my area. I had major water damage due to not having power for 4 days . My sump pump overflowed and my lower level was a total loss! They truly helped with MAJOR clean out and were great to answer any questions! I highly recommend this company!

Kristi Locke

As the owner of Timber Trio LLC, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Justine Dunk and the SERVPRO team on multiple reconstruction projects, and the experience has been outstanding every time. Justine is one of the best reconstruction project managers I’ve worked with. She builds strong relationships with her contractors, communicates clearly, stays organized, and keeps projects moving efficiently from start to finish. She treats her subcontractors with professionalism and respect, making it easy for everyone to work together toward the same goal—delivering a quality finished product for the customer. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to coordinate schedules, materials, and inspections help ensure projects stay on track while maintaining high standards. Those qualities create a positive working environment and ultimately benefit the homeowners we serve. SERVPRO is fortunate to have someone like Justine leading their reconstruction projects. Timber Trio LLC appreciates the opportunity to partner with her, and we look forward to working together on many more projects in the future. I highly recommend SERVPRO and Justine Dunk to anyone needing restoration and reconstruction services.

Connor was awesome, great job and polite. Would recommend anytime.

Yesterday I reached out to SERVPRO for some help . I was assisted by Dillon, who was an extremely competent listener, and though the party that I needed to speak with, wasn’t there at the time, he took a message, and promised that I would hear from someone soon. Well, I’m not only heard from someone soon, but it was the boss, Collin. So Dillon’s follow-thru gets a * 10/10*. Colin was tremendously helpful as well. This is not my first rodeo with Servpro. They are extremely competent service providers and I would recommend them wholeheartedly.!

Ellen Kahler

We had a pipe burst and flood the entire house…… mini disaster. Servpro responded immediately, the house had to be taken down to the studs and have a complete overhaul. Glen and Justine and Junelle(insurance) were absolutely amazing. The communication was over the top. It did not matter what time of day I contacted them they answered my concerns immediately. I highly recommend this company for anything you may need done. So the home was completely redone from electrical, plumbing to the finishing touches and it turned out great. Thank you all, I could not have done this with such ease myself.

Kelly Strieder

We cannot recommend this company highly enough! Dealing with water damage is incredibly stressful, but from our very first conversation, ServPro employees showed sincere empathy for our situation and immediately put us at ease. They were always friendly and highly responsive to every message and question we had along the way. We were on a tight timeline with company arriving for Memorial Day weekend, and ServPro treated our deadline with a true sense of urgency. They stayed completely on top of the schedule and showed incredible flexibility. Throughout the entire process, they instilled total confidence. We felt completely reassured that they were doing everything in their power to get the job done right and on schedule. If you want someone who pairs expert work with elite communication and genuine care, I'd highly recommend ServPro!
