What Sewage Cleanup Through Our Network Includes
Sewage cleanup is not a do-it-yourself job. Exposure can cause gastrointestinal illness and infections, and improper cleanup leaves contamination behind in materials you can't see into.
Proper PPE & Biohazard Protocols
Expect full protective gear and containment barriers before cleanup starts. That protects your family and the rest of the house.

Sewage Cleanup Work Through Our Network
Sewage cleanup follows a strict sequence.
Area Isolation
Plastic barriers and negative air setups keep contaminated air and debris from reaching the rest of the house. Clean areas stay off-limits to contaminated foot traffic.
Sewage Extraction & Material Removal
Waste and water are extracted, then porous materials like carpet, pad, drywall, and insulation that contacted sewage are bagged and removed. Those materials can't be reliably sanitized.
Cleaning & Disinfection
Hard surfaces and framing are scrubbed and treated with EPA-registered disinfectants. Some contractors verify cleanliness with ATP swab testing.
Deodorization & Air Scrubbing
Air scrubbers and odor treatments clear the smell once contamination is gone. Masking odor without removing the source never works.
Drain Line & Backflow Assessment
Common causes include root intrusion, grease, collapsed pipe, or city sewer overload. A sewer camera pinpoints the problem, and a backwater valve guards against recurrence.

Nobody wants to make this call, but these callers were glad they did.
Roots clogged the main and sewage backed up into the basement shower. The crew sealed off the basement, pulled the carpet and drywall, and disinfected everything. You couldn't smell a thing after.
— Alan G., LafayetteI almost tried to handle it myself with bleach. The contractor explained why the drywall had to go and why bleach wasn't enough.
— Samantha K., LafayetteThe city sewer backed up into three houses on our street during a storm. They had our basement sanitized and recommended a backwater valve so it doesn't happen again.

Is sewage backup dangerous?
It is. Sewage contains pathogens that can cause gastrointestinal illness and infections, so avoid contact and keep the area closed off.
Can I clean up sewage myself?
For anything beyond a minor spill on tile, it's best left to professionals who have protective gear and know which materials must be removed.
What causes sewage backups?
Common causes include tree root intrusion, grease or wipes clogging the line, collapsed or bellied sewer pipe, and heavy rain overloading municipal sewers.
Does insurance cover sewage backup?
Many standard homeowners policies exclude sewer backup unless you've added a sewer or water backup endorsement. Check your policy and call your agent to confirm.
How can I prevent sewage from backing up again?
Have the main line camera-inspected and cleared, avoid flushing wipes and pouring grease down drains, and consider a backwater valve, which lets sewage flow out but not back in.
