Customer stories

What Sewage Backup Callers Said

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

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.

Common questions

Common Sewage Cleanup Questions

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.

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.

Tree roots, grease clogs, damaged pipes, and city sewer overloads are the usual culprits.

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.
