Our Sewage Cleanup Process

Sewage cleanup has to be handled carefully because of the contamination involved. Our process:

• Contain the affected area and set up protection so the contamination does not spread.
• Remove sewage, standing water, and materials that are too contaminated to salvage.
• Clean and sanitize all surfaces with professional-grade disinfectants.
• Dry the structure completely and deodorize so no smell or moisture lingers.

We document the loss thoroughly, which helps when you file the claim with your insurance carrier.

Common Causes of Sewage Backups We Trace

Sewage can enter a home from several directions. The ones we see most often:

• Main sewer line clogs from grease, roots, or debris
• Heavy rain overwhelming the municipal system
• Collapsed or aging sewer pipes
• Tree roots growing into the line
• Blockages in a home drain that back up into fixtures
• Failed or overwhelmed sump and ejector pumps

Sewage carries bacteria and other contaminants, so professional cleanup and sanitizing is the safe way to handle it rather than a mop and bucket.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is sewage backup dangerous to clean up myself?

Sewage contains bacteria and other contaminants that can pose health risks, so it is not a job for household cleaners. Certified technicians use protective equipment and professional disinfectants to remove it safely and make sure the area is properly sanitized.

How quickly should sewage be cleaned up?

As soon as possible. Contaminated water spreads and soaks into porous materials fast, and the risk grows the longer it sits. We respond 24/7 and begin containment and removal right away to limit the damage and exposure.

Will my belongings have to be thrown out?

It depends on what the sewage touched. Hard, non-porous items can often be cleaned and sanitized. Porous items that absorbed contamination usually have to be removed. We assess each item and document anything discarded for your claim.

Does insurance cover sewage cleanup?

Many policies cover sudden sewage backups, though coverage varies. We work with all insurance carriers and provide the documentation your adjuster needs. It is worth calling your carrier early so you understand your specific coverage.

Will the smell go away completely?

Yes, when the job is done right. Odor lingers only if contamination or moisture is left behind. We remove the source, sanitize the surfaces, dry the structure fully, and deodorize, which clears the smell rather than covering it up.
