A main line backup sends raw sewage up through the lowest drains in the house, usually a basement shower, floor drain, or toilet. That water carries E. coli, hepatitis, and other pathogens. Safe cleanup means containment, protective gear, removal of everything porous it touched, and thorough disinfection.

Pricing for each phase is written down and approved by you first.

Sewage cleanup follows a strict order: contain, remove, clean, disinfect, verify, then dry. Skipping a step can leave pathogens behind long after the smell is gone.

Liquid sewage and solids are extracted with dedicated equipment and disposed of according to local rules, not dumped down another drain.
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.
Some contractors use ATP surface testing to confirm cleaning worked. Then drying equipment runs until materials read dry.
Call +1-877-637-9008, describe where sewage is coming up, and confirm everyone has stopped using water in the house.
You will get an arrival time and safety reminders while the crew is on the way.
The pro sets up containment, assesses how far contamination reached, and gives you a written estimate before removal begins.
Contaminated materials are removed, surfaces disinfected, odors treated, and the area dried. The contractor may recommend a plumber to clear or camera the main line.
Stop using water and keep everyone away. Help can be on the way now.
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, basementThey 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 roomI have little kids, so I was worried. They set up an air scrubber and plastic walls so nothing spread upstairs.
Jenna P.Sewage backup, family homeThey recommended a plumber to camera the line afterward. Turned out to be tree roots. Glad we found it.

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