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
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.
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.
Dry & Rebuild
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 Lawrence 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 Lawrence, 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.
