Sewage Cleanup Work Through Our Network
Sewage cleanup follows a strict sequence.
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. 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. Real odor control means removing the source first.
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., LavonI almost tried to handle it myself with bleach. They explained why porous materials had to be removed and why bleach alone wouldn't do it.
— Samantha K., LavonThe 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?
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?
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.
