What gets handled

What Sewage Cleanup Involves

Proper sewage remediation is methodical. Contamination is removed, every surface is disinfected, and only then does drying begin.

R

Removing Raw Sewage

Sewage is pumped and vacuumed out with equipment reserved for contaminated water, then disposed of properly.

P

Tearing Out Contaminated Materials

Anything porous that absorbed sewage, like carpet, drywall, and insulation, is removed and bagged.

D

Antimicrobial Treatment

Hard surfaces are scrubbed, then treated with EPA-registered disinfectants left on for the full contact time listed on the label.

O

Deodorizing After Sewage

After disinfection, HEPA air scrubbers and odor control treatments remove lingering sewage odor from the air and structure.

Post-Cleanup Drying

Cleanliness is checked, sometimes with ATP swab testing, before drying gets the area ready for rebuild.

Common questions

What People Ask About Sewage Backups

Sewage is Category 3 water, the most contaminated class. It contains bacteria, viruses, and parasites and requires protective gear, removal of porous materials, and disinfection.

Small, contained jobs may be fine. For large backups or vulnerable family members, staying elsewhere is often safer.

Tiny spills on tile may be manageable with protection. Anything soaked into carpet or walls should be handled by a pro.

Many standard policies exclude sewer backup unless you have a specific sewer or drain backup endorsement. Check your policy with your agent.

Common causes include tree roots in the main line, grease buildup, collapsed or bellied pipes, and municipal sewer overloads during heavy rain.

No. A Water Damage is a free referral service connecting you with independent, licensed and insured local contractors who do the work and bill you directly.
