Understanding Sewage Backups
Sewage backups can strike unexpectedly. Some of the most common causes are clogged pipes (either from sudden clogs or long-term problems developing out of sight), heavy rainfall that overwhelms the municipal drainage system, and tree roots that pry into your home's drain line and block the passage. As a result of sewage backups, large volumes of untreated sewage can come up into your home through multiple drains. Even if it sits for just a couple of minutes, it can leave hazardous parasites, bacteria, and other microorganisms that put your family at risk. The sewage can also seep into the floors, walls, and basement of your home, causing lingering smells, moisture damage, and stains on your belongings.

- 24/7 Availability for Emergencies: No matter what time a sewage backup strikes, our team can respond immediately to start assessing the damage, isolating the affected areas, and cleaning the sewage.
- Water Extraction: The sewage itself is dangerous, but the water is an additional threat. We use state-of-the-art water and moisture extractors to remove standing water and start reducing dangerous levels of humidity.
- Sewage Cleanup: We safely and thoroughly remove sewage and dispose of it according to local ordinances and best practices. We will also dispose of contaminated building materials and surfaces in preparation for the next stage.
- Professional Disinfection of Remaining Surfaces: During this stage, every trace of sewage, stains, and smells is removed from the remaining materials and surfaces. We thoroughly disinfect the area to kill remaining microorganisms, and your home will be deodorized to eliminate, not mask, lingering odors.
