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 Evanston service.
Our Sewage Cleanup Process
Identify the Backup
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.
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.
Drying & Restoration
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 Evanston 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.
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 Evanston crew arrives within the hour with full PPE, proper equipment, EPA-compliant disposal, and complete decontamination.
