🚨 DANGER: Do Not Touch Sewage

Sewage backups (Category 3 Water) contain bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Direct contact can cause severe illness. Do not try to clean it yourself.

Common Causes of Backups

  • Clogged sewer lines: Tree roots, grease buildup, or flushing non-flushable items.
  • Heavy rainfall: Overwhelming city sewers pushing water back into homes.
  • Sump pump failures: Allowing groundwater or drain water to rise.
  • Septic tank overflows: Full tanks backing up into the house.

Our Safe Cleanup Process

  1. Protection: Our technicians wear full protective suits and respirators.
  2. Extraction: We remove all sewage and contaminated water using specialized equipment.
  3. Removal: Porous materials that have touched sewage (carpet, padding, insulation) must be removed and disposed of legally.
  4. Cleaning & Disinfecting: We scrub and sanitize all salvageable surfaces with hospital-grade disinfectants.
  5. Drying: We thoroughly dry the area to prevent mold growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I save my carpet after a sewage backup?
Generally, no. Carpet and padding are porous and cannot be 100% sanitized after contact with raw sewage. It is safer to replace them.

Is sewage cleanup covered by insurance?
Many policies have specific endorsements for "Sewer and Drain Backup." We can help you check your policy and file the claim.
