Sewage backups and overflows can cause significant damage to homes and businesses, as well as health hazards due to the presence of bacteria and viruses. SERVPRO of Saugus/West Lynn provides sewage cleanup services to restore properties affected by sewage backups and overflows.

Their sewage cleanup process typically includes:

  1. Inspection: Their technicians will inspect the affected area to assess the extent of the damage and determine the best approach for cleanup.

  2. Containment: They will isolate the affected area to prevent contamination from spreading to other areas of the property.

  3. Removal: They will remove any standing water and sewage, as well as any contaminated materials that cannot be salvaged.

  4. Cleaning: They will use specialized cleaning products and equipment to clean and sanitize all affected surfaces, including walls, floors, and personal belongings.

  5. Deodorizing: They will use odor removal techniques to eliminate any unpleasant smells that may have resulted from the sewage backup.

  6. Drying: They will use dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the affected area and prevent mold growth.

  7. Restoration: If necessary, they will repair or replace any damaged structural components or personal belongings to restore the property to its preloss condition.

Throughout the process, SERVPRO will communicate with the property owner and insurance adjuster to keep them informed of the progress and any necessary changes to the cleanup plan. The goal is to restore the property as quickly and efficiently as possible, while minimizing disruption to the property owner's life.
