You flushed, and the shower drain in the basement started gurgling. Minutes later, raw sewage was coming up through the floor drain and both toilets. This is Category 3 blackwater, loaded with bacteria and viruses, and it is not something to mop up with household cleaners.

We are a referral line, not a contractor. Calls are routed to independent local pros around Rome who handle biohazard sewage cleanup, not just clean-water leaks.
Expect Tyvek-style suits, respirators, and gloves. Contaminants stay in the work zone, not tracked through your home.
Plastic barriers seal off the affected area, and HEPA air scrubbers create negative pressure so contaminated air does not drift into clean rooms.
Confirm license and insurance on arrival. Biohazard jobs should only go to properly insured pros.
Pricing for each phase is written down and approved by you first.

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

Sewage is pumped and vacuumed out with equipment reserved for contaminated water, then disposed of properly.
Anything porous that absorbed sewage, like carpet, drywall, and insulation, is removed and bagged.
Hard surfaces are scrubbed, then treated with EPA-registered disinfectants left on for the full contact time listed on the label.
After disinfection, HEPA air scrubbers and odor control treatments remove lingering sewage odor from the air and structure.
Cleanliness is checked, sometimes with ATP swab testing, before drying gets the area ready for rebuild.
Call +1-877-637-9008, describe where sewage is coming up, and confirm everyone has stopped using water in the house.
A local contractor calls back with an arrival window and reminds you to keep everyone away from the contaminated area.
Containment goes up first, then the pro maps the contamination and provides a written quote.
Sewage and damaged materials come out, everything is sanitized and dried, and you will be pointed to a plumber if the line needs work.
Stop using water and keep everyone away. Help can be on the way now.

Omar H.Recurring sewer backup

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.
It depends on the size of the backup and where it is. Small contained areas may be fine with containment in place. Large backups, or households with infants, elderly, or immune-compromised people, often warrant staying elsewhere.
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.
Many standard policies exclude sewer backup unless you have a specific sewer or drain backup endorsement. Check your policy with your agent.
Tree roots, grease clogs, damaged pipes, and city sewer overloads are the usual culprits.
No. We connect you with independent local pros. Verify their license and insurance before work starts.
