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.

Our Sewage Cleanup Process
Stop the Flow
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.
Sealed 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.
Remove & Treat
Every porous material that contacted sewage gets removed and properly disposed of. Remaining surfaces are scrubbed and treated with hospital-grade antimicrobials.
Restore Your Property
Structural drying follows decontamination. Then we rebuild everything we removed — drywall, insulation, flooring, baseboards. Your home comes back to pre-loss condition.

About Our Columbia 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.
Sewage backup coverage varies by policy. Most standard homeowner's policies cover it with a "sewer and drain" endorsement. 24/7 Water Damage documents losses properly with photographs, Xactimate estimates, and adjuster coordination. Call (866) 993-3605 for 24/7 Columbia response.
