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

We had duct cleaning done and it was exceptional! Joshua and Jason were just incredible. We had previously gone through another company and it was very interesting to see how Serpro does it right comparatively. We couldn't be happier.

Ami Mechling

A pipe burst in my wall last November and flooded my whole house, which was definitely a bad time of year to be having to live in a hotel for a bit but the folks at Servpro of Wausau made it as painless as humanly possible!! Brett Nelson and crew were definitely easy to work with and even though I hope to never have to use them again personally, I would if I had to and I would highly recommend them to any of my friends or family!! Again, kudos to the entire Servpro of Wausau crew!!

Ryan Lee Schuppler

Tristan was very helpful and you can tell he genuinely cares about what he does.

Tammy Woller

Eric was prompt, professional and courteous. He explained what he was doing all along the way and gave us confidence in his evaluation of the situation. I highly recommend him and the company he represents.

Ken Moberg

Very impressed with the information, helpfulness and service provided by Tracy (office) and Eric (Estimator). Very highly recommended!

Zeke Koski

A sewer backed up into our condominium’s central utility building and contaminated the walls, floor and critical equipment including water pipes and valves. This resulted in the shutdown of six units, three of which are expecting weekend guests. We called ServPro on the recommendation of our plumber and explained the urgency of the situation to Eric, their Project Estimator. He checked with Barry, part owner and Restoration Technician, who had several jobs lined up. Given our predicament, however, he made time for us and was on the job in two days. Thanks to ServPro our weekend plans are back on track.

Barbara Buss

We were so thankful to Josh, Tony, Tristan, Jason, Eric and Jordan for their fast and efficient response to our office flooding. They took a very overwhelming situation for us and walked us through the process with such reliable professionalism.

Katie Gruber

Wonderful service and very kind workers!!

Madison Mariani

Our home flooded back in April with the monsoon rains & storms. Servpro was able to come quickly and efficiently help us get the water out of our finished basement. Afterwards, we had some issues with billing & difference in pricing which I was quite upset about and was debating on giving a poorer review. HOWEVER talk about a company that went above and beyond to make it right. Logan was absolutely amazing and really helped get everything squared away correctly. Highly recommend them because of great service all around and also because they are a company that can admit and correct a wrong.
