Sewage backup is one of the most hazardous and disruptive events a property owner can face. It’s not just about the mess—it’s a serious health concern. Contaminated water from sewage systems can carry bacteria, viruses, and toxic substances that pose an immediate threat to anyone exposed.
When a backup occurs, time is critical. Wastewater seeps into flooring, drywall, and insulation quickly, spreading contamination far beyond what’s visible. It’s not enough to clean the surface; materials must be professionally removed and replaced if compromised.
We follow strict safety protocols to protect both our team and the occupants of the affected property. This includes wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), setting up containment zones, and using industrial-strength equipment to extract waste and disinfect affected areas.
Airborne risks are also a concern. Bacteria and viruses from sewage can linger in the air or be carried by dust particles. We deploy air scrubbers and HEPA filtration systems to clear the environment of these invisible threats and restore safe air quality.
Even a small backup can lead to mold within days. Moisture combined with organic waste creates a prime breeding ground. That’s why proper drying, dehumidification, and sanitation must follow every cleanup—without shortcuts.
Attempting to handle sewage cleanup without professional support is extremely risky. Exposure to contaminants can cause gastrointestinal illness, respiratory issues, and long-term complications for vulnerable individuals. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, direct contact with raw sewage requires extreme caution and professional cleanup measures.
Insurance companies also require clear documentation of losses and procedures. We handle that process as part of our response, helping property owners navigate claims while ensuring that nothing is overlooked.
Safety doesn’t end when the water is gone. Every surface and cavity must be treated to ensure a clean, habitable space. Our work is backed by years of experience and the specialized tools needed to fully sanitize and restore properties affected by sewage.
