Commercial Water Damage

Sewage backup in basement of commercial office space

Businesses may not deal with all the same issues as homeowners in regards to their properties, but that does not mean damage does not occur. A large commercial structure may not encounter sump pump backups or foundation leaks as frequently as a homeowner may, but one thing businesses and homes have in common is their connection to the same sewage system. 

Often times through no fault of their own, a business may encounter a sewage backup or toilet backup. Both options are a messy cleanup that take expertise to be done properly. A water loss that includes sewage is considered Category 3 water, meaning it is grossly contaminated and may contain disease-causing organisms and toxins. 

A category 3 water loss is not a loss you simply want to dry. Material demolition may be needed as well as extensive disinfection and cleaning. If you experience a category 3 water loss at your place of business, call SERVPRO of Sioux Falls at 605-213-3303!
