A sewage backup isn't a job for a mop and bucket. Our Sewage Cleanup crews arrive in full PPE, classify the contamination, and follow IICRC S500 blackwater protocols from the first step.

Containment goes up before extraction starts, because the goal on a contamination job isn't just removing the water, it's making sure the contamination doesn't spread to rooms that were never affected.
None of this is unique to a big loss either — the same standard applies whether it's a single-room sewage cleanup call or a larger one.
We built this list around what typically goes wrong when sewage cleanup gets handled by a generalist rather than a specialist.
Ask for credentials before the work starts, not after — a legitimate sewage cleanup specialist will have them ready.
Every sewage job follows documented contamination standards, not an improvised cleanup approach.
We isolate the affected zone before starting any removal to limit cross-contamination.
Disposal documentation is provided as part of the job record.
Sewage backups get priority dispatch given the health risk involved.
Every piece of sewage cleanup work below follows the same documentation standard, whether it's a small job or a larger one.
Water gets classified as Category 3 blackwater on arrival, which sets the entire response protocol.
Extraction equipment dedicated to contaminated water keeps cross-contamination from clean-water jobs.
Carpet, pad, and drywall that contacted blackwater almost always require removal rather than drying in place.
Disinfection follows removal of unsalvageable materials, covering every remaining surface in the affected zone.
Sewage odor gets treated at the source through disinfection and controlled airflow, not masked with fragrance.
Final verification includes both moisture and contamination checks before sign-off.
Four steps, no guesswork, from your first call to a verified sewage cleanup result.
Dispatch gathers just enough detail to load the right equipment before the truck leaves.
The truck that arrives is stocked specifically for Sewage Cleanup jobs, not a generic handyman setup.
You approve the number before equipment turns on — no surprise invoice after the fact.
Work continues until the job meets our documented completion standard, verified before we call it done.
