This isn't something to tackle with household cleaners. Exposure can cause gastrointestinal illness and infections, and improper cleanup leaves contamination behind in materials you can't see into.

Clear Pricing Before Work

Rapid Local Response
Every hour sewage sits, contamination spreads further. Your call is routed to the nearest available biohazard-ready contractor near Brookhaven.
Sewage Cleanup Work Through Our Network
Here's what a proper sewage job includes.
Area Isolation
Containment walls and air scrubbers isolate the affected area. Clean areas stay off-limits to contaminated foot traffic.
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
Hard surfaces and framing are scrubbed and treated with EPA-registered disinfectants. ATP testing can confirm surfaces are clean.
Deodorization & Air Scrubbing
HEPA air scrubbers and deodorization treatments remove lingering odor after cleanup. Masking odor without removing the source never works.
Drain Line & Backflow Assessment
Backups often come from main line clogs, tree roots, grease buildup, or municipal sewer surcharges. 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.
Tree roots blocked our main line and sewage came up through the basement shower drain. They set containment, removed the carpet and lower drywall, and sanitized the whole area. You couldn't smell a thing after.

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?
Small, contained spills on hard surfaces might be manageable with proper protection, but most backups involve porous materials and hidden contamination. Professional cleanup with PPE, containment, and registered disinfectants is the safer choice.
What causes sewage backups?
Roots, grease, flushed wipes, damaged pipe, and storm overload of city sewers cause most backups.
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.
