A sewage backup isn't something a mop handles safely. Our Sewage Cleanup response starts with containment and protective equipment, because the priority is safety first, cleanup second.

Containment goes up before extraction starts, because the goal isn't just removing the water, it's making sure contamination doesn't spread into rooms that were never affected.
None of this changes for a small job 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 instead of a specialist.
S500 governs PPE, containment, and disposal on every Category 3 call we take.
Technicians suit up in complete protective gear before entering any contaminated zone.
Disposal records are provided as part of your job file.
Sewage calls get priority dispatch given the actual health risk involved.
Every part of sewage cleanup work below carries the same documentation standard, whether it's a small job or a larger one.
Classification determines PPE level and which materials must be removed, not left to guesswork.
Dedicated extraction equipment prevents cross-contamination from clean-water jobs.
Carpet, pad, and drywall that contacted blackwater are removed rather than dried in place.
Disinfection follows removal of unsalvageable materials, covering the entire affected zone.
We treat the contamination causing the smell rather than deploying an air freshener.
Final sign-off includes both moisture and contamination checks, not just one.
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.
Crews staged locally get to your address quickly, equipment already loaded for Sewage Cleanup work.
You approve the number before equipment turns on — no surprise invoice after the fact.
A job isn't closed on a visual check — it's closed on a verified reading.
These reviews come from real sewage cleanup calls, not a curated highlight reel.
