Our IICRC certified crews are equipped to handle sewage safely, and we work closely with your insurance company from the very first call.

Why Sewage Is a Serious Health Hazard

Sewage is classified as Category 3 water, also known as black water, the most contaminated category. It contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that can cause serious illness through contact, ingestion, or airborne exposure. Sewage also soaks quickly into porous materials and spreads contamination beyond the visible area. This combination of health risk and rapid spread is why sewage cleanup should never be delayed or attempted without proper protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is a sewage backup really an emergency?
    Yes. Sewage is Category 3 black water, the most contaminated type, carrying bacteria, viruses, and parasites that pose serious health risks. It also spreads quickly into materials, so prompt professional cleanup is important for both safety and limiting damage.
  • How fast can you respond to a sewage backup?
    We target on site arrival in 90 minutes or less, 24 hours a day, because sewage is hazardous and every hour of delay increases the contamination and the risk to your health.
  • Can I clean up sewage myself?
    It is strongly discouraged. Sewage requires protective equipment, containment, professional decontamination, and proper disposal. Improper cleanup can leave behind pathogens and spread contamination, putting your health at risk.
  • What gets thrown away after a sewage backup?
    Porous materials that have absorbed sewage, such as carpet, pad, and affected drywall, usually must be removed because they cannot be fully decontaminated. Non porous surfaces can often be cleaned and sanitized. We assess each item and remove only what must go.
  • Will insurance cover sewage cleanup?
    Sewage backups are often covered, though many policies require a specific backup or sewer endorsement. We document everything thoroughly and work closely with your insurer to support your claim.
