A sewage backup in Charlottesville is a health emergency, not just a mess. 24/7 Water Damage treats it that way. Our crews are IICRC-certified for Category 3 losses and follow OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards with dedicated extraction equipment, hospital-grade antimicrobials at full concentration, and EPA-approved biohazard disposal through licensed haulers.
Our Sewage Cleanup Process
Stop the Flow
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
We extract sewage with dedicated Category 3 equipment — sealed units that never touch clean-water jobs. Our crew wears full PPE throughout the process.
Remove & Treat
We remove contaminated materials in sealed biohazard bags for licensed disposal. Structural wood, concrete, and tile get thorough antimicrobial treatment and HEPA vacuuming.
Dry & Rebuild
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.
