Why This Line for Sewage Backups

We are a referral line, not a contractor. Calls are routed to independent local pros around Savanna who handle biohazard sewage cleanup, not just clean-water leaks.

Gear for blackwater

Crews wear disposable coveralls, nitrile gloves, rubber boots, eye protection, and respirators so pathogens do not leave the work area on their clothes.

Containment and negative air

Containment walls and HEPA filtration keep sewage odors and particles from spreading through the house.

Licensed and insured independent pros

Confirm license and insurance on arrival. Biohazard jobs should only go to properly insured pros.

No surprise charges

You get a written estimate that covers removal, disinfection, and drying before work starts.

The work involved

What Sewage Cleanup Involves

Sewage cleanup follows a strict order: contain, remove, clean, disinfect, verify, then dry. Skipping a step can leave pathogens behind long after the smell is gone.

R

Removing Raw Sewage

Liquid sewage and solids are extracted with dedicated equipment and disposed of according to local rules, not dumped down another drain.

P

Tearing Out Contaminated Materials

Carpet, pad, drywall, insulation, and particleboard that touched sewage cannot be reliably disinfected and are bagged and removed.

D

Sanitizing Every Surface

Hard surfaces are scrubbed, then treated with EPA-registered disinfectants left on for the full contact time listed on the label.

O

Odor Removal

After disinfection, HEPA air scrubbers and odor control treatments remove lingering sewage odor from the air and structure.

V

Verification and Drying

Some contractors use ATP surface testing to confirm cleaning worked. Then drying equipment runs until materials read dry.

Common Sewage Cleanup Questions

It is Category 3, meaning grossly contaminated. That category triggers full biohazard protocols.

It depends on the size of the backup and where it is. Small contained areas may be fine with containment in place. Large backups, or households with infants, elderly, or immune-compromised people, often warrant staying elsewhere.

Tiny spills on tile may be manageable with protection. Anything soaked into carpet or walls should be handled by a pro.

Often only with a sewer backup add-on. Your agent can tell you what your policy includes.

Common causes include tree roots in the main line, grease buildup, collapsed or bellied pipes, and municipal sewer overloads during heavy rain.

No. A Water Damage is a free referral service connecting you with independent, licensed and insured local contractors who do the work and bill you directly.
