What to Do Before Sewage Cleaning Help Arrives

Raw sewage carries dangerous bacteria and biohazard pathogens that pose immediate health risks. While our emergency cleanup team is en route, please follow these essential safety steps to keep your family and property protected.

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

A consistent, documented process — the same one our insurance partners expect to see.

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.

Sewage Cleanup FAQs

How fast can you respond to a sewage backup in Maryland?
Our emergency crews operate 24/7/365 and aim to be on-site quickly for active sewage backups anywhere in the Baltimore metro area.
Yes. Raw sewage is classified as Category 3 “black water” and can contain bacteria, viruses, and parasites. It should never be handled without proper protective equipment and professional disinfection.
Many policies cover sewage backup damage, though it sometimes requires a specific endorsement. We’ll help assess your coverage and handle documentation for your claim.
Common causes include clogged main lines, tree root intrusion, aging municipal sewer infrastructure, and heavy rain overwhelming the system — all common issues in older Greater Baltimore Metro area neighborhoods.
For a small, clean-water overflow, yes. But if sewage (black water) is involved, professional cleanup is strongly recommended to prevent contamination of flooring, subfloor, and indoor air quality.
