Sewage Backup Cleanup and Water Damage Restoration Services

Sewage water contains harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can pose serious health risks. If not addressed immediately, it can lead to microbial growth and long-term damage to your property while increasing the risk of exposure to harmful contaminants.

It’s not recommended. Sewage cleanup requires specialized equipment and expertise to completely remove contaminants and prevent the spread of bacteria or mold. Improper cleaning methods can also expose you to health risks.

First, avoid contact with the sewage. Turn off any water sources contributing to the backup and avoid using sinks, toilets, or other plumbing fixtures. Contact a professional sewage cleanup company, like ServiceMaster Remediation Services, immediately.

Many insurance policies cover sewage backups, but it depends on your coverage. It’s essential to review your policy and consult with your insurance provider. To ensure transparency, we offer free estimates based on insurance-approved rates.

Hard, non-porous items can often be cleaned and disinfected. However, porous materials such as carpets, upholstery, and drywall may need to be removed, as they can absorb harmful contaminants that are difficult to fully clean.

The time it takes to clean up sewage depends on the extent of the damage. However, our 24/7 rapid response ensures we can start the cleanup process immediately to minimize further damage and health risks.

Sewage backups can expose you to dangerous pathogens such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Hepatitis A, as well as various parasites and viruses. Prolonged exposure increases the risk of illness, especially for those with compromised immune systems.

Avoid flushing non-biodegradable items, grease, or large quantities of paper down drains to reduce the risk of sewage backups. Regular plumbing system maintenance, including inspecting and cleaning your sewer lines, can also help prevent future issues.
