The Steps of Proper Sewage Cleanup

Proper sewage remediation is methodical. Contamination is removed, every surface is disinfected, and only then does drying begin.

R

Blackwater Removal

Sewage is pumped and vacuumed out with equipment reserved for contaminated water, then disposed of properly.

P

Tearing Out Contaminated Materials

Anything porous that absorbed sewage, like carpet, drywall, and insulation, is removed and bagged.

D

Sanitizing Every Surface

Hard surfaces are scrubbed, then treated with EPA-registered disinfectants left on for the full contact time listed on the label.

O

Eliminating Sewage Smell

After disinfection, HEPA air scrubbers and odor control treatments remove lingering sewage odor from the air and structure.

V

Post-Cleanup Drying

Some contractors use ATP surface testing to confirm cleaning worked. Then drying equipment runs until materials read dry.

Our main line backed up into the basement. They sealed it off, suited up, removed everything contaminated, and the smell was completely gone.

Carmen E.Main line backup, basement

They explained why the carpet and bottom of the drywall had to go. Not what I wanted to hear, but it made sense once they mentioned what is in sewage.

Steve R.Toilet overflow into finished room

I have little kids, so I was worried. They set up an air scrubber and plastic walls so nothing spread upstairs.

Common Sewage Cleanup Questions

Sewage is Category 3 water, the most contaminated class. It contains bacteria, viruses, and parasites and requires protective gear, removal of porous materials, and disinfection.

Small, contained jobs may be fine. For large backups or vulnerable family members, staying elsewhere is often safer.

A very small hard-surface spill can be cleaned with gloves, boots, and a disinfectant. If sewage reached carpet, drywall, or a large area, professional cleanup is the safer choice.

Often only with a sewer backup add-on. Your agent can tell you what your policy includes.

Common causes include tree roots in the main line, grease buildup, collapsed or bellied pipes, and municipal sewer overloads during heavy rain.

No. A Water Damage is a free referral service connecting you with independent, licensed and insured local contractors who do the work and bill you directly.
