Penobscot Cleaning Services responds quickly to water damage emergencies in Brewer, Bangor, and Bar Harbor to limit water intrusion, reduce mold risk, and protect your home or business. With over 150 years of combined technician experience and more than 40 years serving Penobscot and Hancock Counties, our crews use pumps, truck-mounted extractors, thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, air movers, and LGR dehumidifiers to remove water, dry affected materials, and document loss conditions for insurance claims.

When to Call for Water Damage Restoration

Sewer Backup & Biohazard Cleanup

Sewer water contains harmful bacteria and contaminants and must be treated as a biohazard. Our technicians follow strict safety, containment, removal, and disposal protocols during sewage cleanup to protect occupants and prevent cross-contamination. Affected materials are removed safely, surfaces are disinfected, and odors are treated at the source.
