Why sewage needs a professional
Sewage is the most contaminated kind of water (often called Category 3 or black water). It can carry bacteria and viruses, so soaked porous materials like carpet, pad and drywall usually come out, and everything left is cleaned, sanitized and dried.
What causes it
- Roots or breaks in older sewer laterals
- Main-line clogs (wipes, grease)
- Toilet and shower-drain overflows
- City main backups during heavy rain
How it works
- Free inspection
- Containment so it doesn't spread
- Removal of sewage and contaminated materials
- Cleaning and antimicrobial treatment
- Drying with moisture readings
- Repairs and documentation for your claim
A plumber repairs the line; we can coordinate with yours.
If it's happening right now
- Stop running water, flushing and laundry.
- Keep everyone out of the area.
- Turn off HVAC if it's pulling air from that area.
- Photograph it.

Questions
Will my carpet have to go?
Carpet and pad soaked by sewage usually can't be safely saved. Hard surfaces can often be cleaned and sanitized.
Is sewage backup covered by insurance?
Many policies cover it only with a sewer or water backup endorsement. Check your policy; we document it either way.
Can I stay in the house?
Often yes if you can stay away from the affected area, but consider kids, older relatives and anyone with health concerns. Ask your doctor if unsure.
Is the inspection free?
Yes. Free inspections aren't available for properties being sold or about to be sold.
