Upfront written pricing

R

Removing Raw Sewage

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

P

Porous Material Removal

Carpet, pad, drywall, insulation, and particleboard that touched sewage cannot be reliably disinfected and are bagged and removed.

D

Sanitizing Every Surface

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

O

Odor Removal

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

V

Confirming the Area Is Clean

Some contractors use ATP surface testing to confirm cleaning worked. Then drying equipment runs until materials read dry.

How Sewage Calls Turned Out

Our main line backed up into the basement. They sealed it off, suited up, removed everything contaminated, and the smell was completely gone.

Carmen E.Main line backup, basement

Honest about what had to be thrown away and why. I appreciated the explanation.

Steve R.Toilet overflow into finished room

With kids in the house, I wanted it contained. The plastic barrier and air scrubber kept it all downstairs.

Jenna P.Sewage backup, family home

They recommended a plumber to camera the line afterward. Turned out to be tree roots. Glad we found it.

Sewage Cleanup Questions Answered

It is Category 3, meaning grossly contaminated. That category triggers full biohazard protocols.

It depends on the size of the backup and where it is. Small contained areas may be fine with containment in place. Large backups, or households with infants, elderly, or immune-compromised people, often warrant staying elsewhere.

A very small hard-surface spill can be cleaned with gloves, boots, and a disinfectant. If sewage reached carpet, drywall, or a large area, professional cleanup is the safer choice.

Often only with a sewer backup add-on. Your agent can tell you what your policy includes.

Tree roots, grease clogs, damaged pipes, and city sewer overloads are the usual culprits.

No. We connect you with independent local pros. Verify their license and insurance before work starts.
