If sewage backed up into your Ames property, stop walking through it. Sewage contains E. coli, hepatitis A, rotavirus, and dozens of other pathogens. Our hazmat-trained crew arrives in full PPE with dedicated equipment that never touches clean-water jobs. We extract contamination, remove affected materials, and sanitize to a safe level.
Our Sewage Cleanup Process
Source Control
Our crew traces the sewage backup to its source and stops it. If a sewer line camera is needed, we coordinate that. No point cleaning up if the backup hasn't been stopped.
Hazmat Extraction
We extract sewage with dedicated Category 3 equipment — sealed units that never touch clean-water jobs. Our crew wears full PPE throughout the process.
Strip & Sanitize
We remove contaminated materials in sealed biohazard bags for licensed disposal. Structural wood, concrete, and tile get thorough antimicrobial treatment and HEPA vacuuming.
Restore Your Property
After decontamination, we dry the structure with commercial equipment and rebuild — new drywall, flooring, trim, and paint. Your property comes back clean and safe.

About Our Ames Sewage Cleanup Services
The danger with sewage isn't just what you see — contaminants soak into drywall, subfloor, and concrete. Our crew cuts drywall 12-24 inches above the highest visible contamination because wicking carries bacteria higher than the waterline. Removed materials get bagged, sealed, and disposed through licensed biohazard haulers.
After 15 years cleaning sewage events in Ames, we've seen every cause: root intrusion, aging clay pipes, grinder pump failures, main backups, grease blockages. We address the contamination and the cause. Sewer camera inspection or root removal coordinated too. Call (866) 993-3605.
