Sewage backup is the worst water damage scenario — not just water but Category 3 contaminated waste containing bacteria, viruses, and parasites. The IICRC classifies it as the highest hazard level requiring full PPE, specialized extraction, and EPA-compliant disposal. Don't attempt cleanup yourself. Call 24/7 Water Damage at (866) 993-3605 for trained Cambridge service.
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.
Contaminated Water Removal
We extract sewage with dedicated Category 3 equipment — sealed units that never touch clean-water jobs. Our crew wears full PPE throughout the process.
Material Removal & Decontamination
Every porous material that contacted sewage gets removed and properly disposed of. Remaining surfaces are scrubbed and treated with hospital-grade antimicrobials.
Dry & Rebuild
Structural drying follows decontamination. Then we rebuild everything we removed — drywall, insulation, flooring, baseboards. Your home comes back to pre-loss condition.

After 15 years cleaning sewage events in Cambridge, 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.
