How we handle sewage cleanup

  1. Contain

    We isolate the area so contamination does not spread to the rest of the house.

  2. Remove

    Sewage is extracted and porous materials it reached, like carpet and drywall, are removed and disposed of properly.

  3. Disinfect

    All remaining surfaces are cleaned and treated with antimicrobial products.

  4. Dry and verify

    The structure is dried and checked before anything is closed back up.

  5. Rebuild

    We restore the space to how it was.

From our customers

This is a great company to work with. They were on site within hours of first phone call. Management maintained constant contact until all work was complete which took several months. There were multiple crews all were very professional.

Sewage cleanup questions

Is sewage backup dangerous?

Yes. Sewage carries bacteria and viruses. Keep children and pets away, do not touch it without protection, and turn off HVAC that pulls air from the area.

Who pays for a sewer backup?

Usually your homeowners policy if you have backup coverage. If the backup came from a public sewer line, contact your sewer district as well.
