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 Lake Charles service.
Our Sewage Cleanup Process
Identify the Backup
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.
Hazmat Extraction
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.

About Our Lake Charles 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.
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 Lake Charles response.
