R

Removing Raw Sewage

Liquid sewage and solids are extracted with dedicated equipment and disposed of according to local rules, not dumped down another drain.

P

Discarding What Cannot Be Cleaned

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

D

Antimicrobial Treatment

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

O

Deodorizing After Sewage

Air scrubbers and odor treatments clear the smell so it does not return once the area dries.

V

Confirming the Area Is Clean

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

What callers say

How Sewage Calls Turned Out

Main line backed up into the basement shower and floor drain. The crew showed up in full suits, sealed off the basement, and cleaned it like a hospital. No smell after they left.

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

With kids in the house, I wanted it contained. The plastic barrier and air scrubber kept it all downstairs.

Jenna P.Sewage backup, family home

They recommended a plumber to camera the line afterward. Turned out to be tree roots. Glad we found it.
