R

Sewage Extraction

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

P

Porous Material Removal

Carpet, pad, drywall, insulation, and particleboard that touched sewage cannot be reliably disinfected and are bagged and removed.

D

Sanitizing Every Surface

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.

Common questions

What People Ask About Sewage Backups

It is Category 3, meaning grossly contaminated. That category triggers full biohazard protocols.

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.

Tiny spills on tile may be manageable with protection. Anything soaked into carpet or walls should be handled by a pro.

Many standard policies exclude sewer backup unless you have a specific sewer or drain backup endorsement. Check your policy with your agent.

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.
