Why East Atlantic Beach Calls Us for Sewage Backups
This isn't something to tackle with household cleaners. Contact with raw sewage carries real health risks, and poor cleanup leaves pathogens in porous materials.

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
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. Some contractors verify cleanliness with ATP swab testing.
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?
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?
Roots, grease, flushed wipes, damaged pipe, and storm overload of city sewers cause most backups.
Does insurance cover sewage backup?
Often only with a sewer backup endorsement. Without that rider, many policies don't cover it, so check your coverage.
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.
