What to Do Before Sewage Cleaning Help Arrives

Keep everyone — especially children and pets — out of the affected area
Raw sewage exposure (Category 3 "black water") can cause illness. Treat the space as off-limits until it's professionally cleaned.

Shut off the water source if it's safe to do so
If a toilet overflow or supply line is the cause, turn off the water valve to stop additional water from entering the space.

Turn off electricity to the affected area
Water and electricity are a dangerous combination. If outlets or appliances are near standing water, shut off power at the breaker — don't enter the area to do this if it means stepping through water.

Avoid contact with contaminated water or items
Don't attempt to clean raw sewage yourself with household tools or a shop vac — this spreads contamination and risks your health.

Call our 24/7 emergency line
The sooner sewage is professionally extracted, the less secondary damage (structural, mold) your property sustains.
Our Sewage Cleanup Process

Step 1: Inspection & Assessment
We identify the source, categorize the water (Category 3), and assess the extent of contamination.

Step 2: Sewage Extraction
Commercial-grade pumps and extraction equipment remove standing sewage quickly to limit damage.

Step 3: Cleaning & Disinfection
Affected surfaces are cleaned, disinfected, and treated with antimicrobial agents to eliminate pathogens.

Step 4: Drying & Dehumidification
Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers remove moisture to prevent mold growth and structural damage.

Step 5: Odor Treatment
Deodorization treatment addresses lingering sewage odor at the source, not just masking it.

Step 6: Documentation & Insurance Support
Full photo documentation and a detailed report to support your insurance claim from day one.
