What is Residential Sewage Cleanup?

Sewage backups are dangerous. Raw sewage carries harmful germs. It has bacteria, viruses, and parasites. These can make people very sick.

Don't try to clean this yourself. You need special gear and training. Our team knows how to do this safely.

We respond 24/7. We contain the mess. We remove the waste. We clean and sanitize every surface. We use hospital-grade products to kill germs.

Sewage is the worst type of water damage. Anything porous that touched sewage must go. Carpet, drywall, and padding can't be saved. Hard surfaces can be cleaned with strong products.

Sewage spreads if you don't act fast. It gets into walls. It goes under floors. It reaches your air ducts. Full cleaning is the only way to make your space safe again.

Speed matters. Germs spread as things dry. Carpet and drywall absorb the mess. Wait too long, and more items need to be replaced. The smell also gets worse each day.

Why Residential Sewage is Different

Sewage backups in homes create immediate health hazards for families. Our residential sewage cleanup team responds with urgency, containing the contamination, protecting unaffected areas, and thoroughly sanitizing every surface. We understand the distress of having sewage in your home and work efficiently to restore your property to a safe, clean condition. We're particularly careful when there are children, elderly, or immunocompromised family members who are more vulnerable to sewage-borne illnesses.

Why Fast Action Matters

Sewage spreads fast. Germs go airborne as things dry. Carpet and drywall soak it in. Wait more than 24-48 hours, and more needs to be ripped out. Costs go up. Health risks go up. The smell gets worse and harder to remove.

Sewage Cleanup FAQs

Get answers to common questions about our services in your area.

Yes, sewage cleanup is extremely dangerous and should only be performed by professionals. Raw sewage contains harmful bacteria (E. coli, Salmonella), viruses (Hepatitis A), parasites, and other pathogens that can cause serious illness. Professional restoration companies have proper protective equipment, hospital-grade disinfectants, and training to handle biohazardous materials safely. Attempting DIY cleanup puts you and your family at significant health risk.

Sewage cleanup typically takes 1-3 days for the initial extraction, sanitization, and drying process. Complete restoration including any necessary repairs may take 1-2 weeks depending on the extent of damage. Porous materials like carpet and drywall often need replacement. We work efficiently to restore your property while ensuring thorough decontamination—cutting corners with biohazards is never acceptable.

Common causes include main sewer line blockages or collapse, tree roots growing into sewer pipes, septic system failures, flushing non-flushable items, grease buildup in pipes, heavy rainfall overwhelming municipal systems, and aging plumbing infrastructure. Regular maintenance and proper usage habits can prevent many backups, but some causes like municipal system overflows are beyond homeowner control.

Coverage varies by policy. Most standard homeowners insurance does not cover sewage backups unless you have specific sewer and drain backup coverage added to your policy. This endorsement is relatively inexpensive and highly recommended, especially in older homes or areas with known sewer issues. We work with your insurance company and provide detailed documentation for claims when coverage applies.

Hard, non-porous items like glass, metal, and hard plastic can often be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized. However, porous materials including carpet, upholstered furniture, mattresses, and drywall typically cannot be adequately sanitized and must be replaced. We assess each situation and provide honest guidance on what can be saved versus what should be replaced for safety. Sentimental items with hard surfaces may sometimes be restored with specialized cleaning.

Sewage odor elimination requires removing all contaminated materials, thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing remaining surfaces, and using professional deodorization techniques. We use enzyme-based cleaners that break down organic matter causing odors, HEPA air scrubbers to remove airborne particles, and sometimes ozone or thermal fogging for persistent odors. Simply masking odors is never adequate—complete removal of contaminated materials and proper sanitization eliminates odors at their source.

Yes, sewage contamination can spread beyond the immediately affected area. Sewage can wick into drywall, travel under flooring, and spread through HVAC systems if they're running during the incident. That's why we recommend turning off HVAC systems immediately and why professional assessment of contamination extent is important. We use moisture meters and other tools to identify all affected areas, even those not visibly contaminated.

If your septic system backs up, stop using all water in the house immediately—no flushing, running water, or using appliances. Keep everyone away from the affected area. Call a professional restoration company for cleanup and a septic service for system inspection. Do not attempt to pump the septic tank yourself during an overflow. After cleanup, have the septic system thoroughly inspected to identify and correct the cause of the backup.
