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 (877) 701-8886 for trained Chesapeake 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
Contaminated water gets extracted using sealed equipment separate from our clean-water fleet. Full PPE — Tyvek suits, respirators, rubber boots. No shortcuts on safety.
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.

Why Choose 24/7 Water Damage for Sewage Cleanup?
Hospital-Grade Antimicrobials
We use Bio-Cide and Concrobium at professional concentrations. Not the watered-down retail products. Every surface that contacted sewage gets thorough antimicrobial treatment.
Fast 24/7 Response
Sewage doesn't wait for business hours. Our Chesapeake crew responds around the clock. The faster we start extraction, the less material needs removing and the lower the restoration cost.
Hazmat-Trained Crew
Our sewage cleanup team is trained in IICRC Category 3 protocols and OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards. Full PPE, sealed equipment, proper procedures. This isn't a job for general cleanup crews.
EPA-Compliant Disposal
Contaminated materials go into sealed biohazard bags and get hauled by licensed waste facilities. Not dumped in a regular dumpster. Proper disposal, documented chain of custody.

About Our Chesapeake Sewage Cleanup Services
Our protocol starts with source control — shutting the sewer line or identifying the backup point. Then we extract with sealed Category 3 equipment. Every porous material below the contamination line gets removed: carpet, pad, drywall cut 12-24 inches above the waterline, and insulation. Remaining surfaces get Bio-Cide and Concrobium treatment.
After 15 years cleaning sewage events in Chesapeake, 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 (877) 701-8886.
