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 Charleston service.
Our Sewage Cleanup Process
Source Control
First step is stopping the backup. We locate the source — main line blockage, root intrusion, or pump failure — and shut it down before starting extraction.
Contaminated Water Removal
Contaminated water gets extracted using sealed equipment separate from our clean-water fleet. Full PPE — Tyvek suits, respirators, rubber boots. No shortcuts on safety.
Remove & Treat
Drywall, carpet, insulation — anything porous below the contamination line comes out. Structural surfaces get scrubbed and treated with Bio-Cide antimicrobials at professional strength.
Restore Your Property
Once the structure is decontaminated and dry, our crew handles the full rebuild. New materials, fresh finishes, and peace of mind that the contamination is completely gone.

About Our Charleston Sewage Cleanup Services
Sewage remediation has strict protocols. We extract with sealed equipment, then remove all porous materials — drywall, insulation, carpet, pad. These go into sealed biohazard bags for proper disposal. Non-porous surfaces get scrubbed and treated with antimicrobials. HEPA scrubbers run throughout. Work zone held until air quality clears.
The biggest mistake with sewage backup is waiting. Every hour that contaminated water sits increases scope and health risk. Call (866) 993-3605 and our Charleston crew arrives within the hour with full PPE, proper equipment, EPA-compliant disposal, and complete decontamination.
