Sewage Cleanup
Category 3 water, handled safely.
Sewage carries bacteria, viruses, and parasites. It is classified as Category 3 — the most hazardous kind of water loss. It is not something to clean up with a shop vac and household cleaner.
Common causes
- Main sewer line backups
- Toilet overflows with waste
- Septic system failures
- Floodwater from outside the home
Sewage backups are often covered by insurance, sometimes under a separate sewer backup endorsement. We will help you check your policy.
What to do before we arrive
- Keep children and pets out of the area.
- Stop using sinks, toilets, and the washing machine.
- Do not walk through the water or try to clean it yourself.
- Turn off HVAC if it could spread air from the affected area.
- Wash your hands well if you have touched anything.
