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. Foot traffic is limited to protect clean rooms.
Sewage Extraction & Material Removal
After extraction, contaminated porous materials are cut out, bagged, and hauled off. Porous items can't be made safe after sewage contact.
Cleaning & Disinfection
Every remaining surface is cleaned and disinfected with registered products. ATP testing can confirm surfaces are clean.
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.

What Callers Say After a Backup
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., AndersonI 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., AndersonThe 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.
— Henry L., AndersonCommon Questions About Sewage Backup Cleanup
Is sewage backup dangerous?
Yes. Raw sewage is Category 3 black water and can carry bacteria such as E. coli, viruses, and parasites. Skin contact, splashes, and contaminated air can all cause illness, so keep people and pets away until it's professionally cleaned.
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.
