What is Sewage Clean Up?

Sewage clean up and restoration is the process of removing sewage, cleaning, sanitizing, disinfecting and deodorizing the affected area. Sewage generally contains mold, parasites, and bacteria that are a major threat to the health of humans and pets. Our emergency sewage service cleans up the sewage backup and dries any saturated structures.

How it works:

Assessing the sewage damage

We assess what’s happening in your home or business and have the cause of the sewage damage repaired. A plan is devised to best remove the sewage, clean, sanitize, disinfect, deodorize and dry the affected areas.

Sewage and water extraction

All sewage and water in every affected area is removed by various methods. Depending on the scope of work, the sewage may need to be pumped out.

Removal and disposal

Items that have been penetrated by sewage, in most cases can’t be restored and, are removed and disposed of. Sewage is a damaging substance, and materials like sheetrock, carpets, ceilings, furniture, papers, and personal items often must be discarded.

Sanitizing, Disinfecting and Deodorizing

Extreme measures are taken to sanitize, disinfect and deodorize the affected areas. This ensures all odors, fungus, bacteria, parasites, mold, and other harmful content that may have been present in the sewage and water are removed.

Drying

The entire affected area is dried with specialized air movers, powerful dehumidifiers and ozone machines. Careful oversight of this drying process ensures the structures are drying, which can take several days depending on the size of the sewage backup.

Three Categories of Contaminated Water

Not all water damage is the same. The source of the water or material that is flooding your space will affect the quality of the water and the health threat posed by that water. Contaminated water is divided into three categories:

Clean Water – Category 1

Water from sinks, showers, tubs, and supply lines are clean and do not threaten the health of humans and animals immediately. This is the least contaminated water. Clean water can develop into grey water after 48 hours.

Grey Water Damage – Category 2

Water from washing machines, dishwashers, and toilets, with only urine, is moderately unsanitary and can contain chemical, biological, and physical artifacts that can cause moderate illness and health issues in humans and animals. This is moderately contaminated water. Grey water can develop into black water after 72 hours.

Black Water Damage – Category 3

Water from sewage backups, toilets containing feces, or flood waters from lakes, streams, rivers, and ground water is highly unsanitary, contains dangerous bacteria and biological matter, and can cause serious illness and health issues in humans and animals. Black water is the greatest threat to the health of humans and animals. Because the exact source of black water is often unknown, the quality and content of the water is unknown

What to do if you have a Sewage Backup

Stop using water

If you have a sewage backup, do not turn on faucets or flush toilets – doing so may cause further damage. Locate and Shut off your main water line if you can do so safely and know how.

How Much Does Sewage Cleanup Cost?

The cost of sewage clean up and restoration services will always be different depending on the affected areas. This is because the size of the spill, the extent of contamination, and the level of damage caused is unique to the incident at hand. The following factors are used to assess a price for sewage clean up:

• Nature of damage and extent of contamination
• Size of damaged space
• What kind of materials are damaged
• Extraction difficulty

Most homeowners and business owners have insurance that usually cover these situations and we work directly with your insurance company throughout the process.
