If sewage backed up into your Knoxville property, stop walking through it. Sewage contains E. coli, hepatitis A, rotavirus, and dozens of other pathogens. Our hazmat-trained crew arrives in full PPE with dedicated equipment that never touches clean-water jobs. We extract contamination, remove affected materials, and sanitize to a safe level.
Our Sewage Cleanup Process
Source Control
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.
Strip & Sanitize
Drywall, carpet, insulation — anything porous below the contamination line comes out. Structural surfaces get scrubbed and treated with Bio-Cide antimicrobials at professional strength.
Drying & Restoration
Structural drying follows decontamination. Then we rebuild everything we removed — drywall, insulation, flooring, baseboards. Your home comes back to pre-loss condition.

About Our Knoxville Sewage Cleanup Services
The danger with sewage isn't just what you see — contaminants soak into drywall, subfloor, and concrete. Our crew cuts drywall 12-24 inches above the highest visible contamination because wicking carries bacteria higher than the waterline. Removed materials get bagged, sealed, and disposed through licensed biohazard haulers.
After 15 years cleaning sewage events in Knoxville, 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.
