A sewage backup in Des Moines 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
Source Control
We identify and stop the sewage source — shut-off valve, pipe blockage, or municipal issue. The flow has to stop before cleanup can begin.
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
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
After decontamination, we dry the structure with commercial equipment and rebuild — new drywall, flooring, trim, and paint. Your property comes back clean and safe.

Why Choose 24/7 Water Damage for Sewage Cleanup?
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.
Fast 24/7 Response
Sewage doesn't wait for business hours. Our Des Moines crew responds around the clock. The faster we start extraction, the less material needs removing and the lower the restoration cost.
Dedicated Category 3 Equipment
We use extraction equipment that's dedicated to contaminated water jobs — it never touches clean-water work. No cross-contamination risk between jobsites.
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.

About Our Des Moines 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 Des Moines, 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.
