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 South Burlington service.
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.
Hazmat Extraction
We extract sewage with dedicated Category 3 equipment — sealed units that never touch clean-water jobs. Our crew wears full PPE throughout the process.
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.
Dry & Rebuild
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 South Burlington 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 South Burlington crew arrives within the hour with full PPE, proper equipment, EPA-compliant disposal, and complete decontamination.
