Why Windsor Calls Us for Sewage Backups
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.
Proper PPE & Biohazard Protocols
Contractors wear respirators, eye protection, nitrile gloves, and protective suits, and set up containment to keep contamination out of clean areas. It keeps contamination from spreading to unaffected rooms.

What Sewage Backup Cleanup Covers
Here's what a proper sewage job includes.
Area Isolation
Containment walls and air scrubbers isolate the affected area. Foot traffic is limited to protect clean rooms.
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. 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
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.

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?
A camera inspection, regular line maintenance, and a backwater valve are the best defenses, along with keeping grease and wipes out of the drains.
