A sewage backup in South Portland is a health emergency, not just a mess. 24/7 Water Damage treats it that way. Our crews are IICRC-certified for Category 3 losses and follow OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards with dedicated extraction equipment, hospital-grade antimicrobials at full concentration, and EPA-approved biohazard disposal through licensed haulers.
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.
Contaminated Water Removal
Our hazmat crew pumps out contaminated water using dedicated equipment with sealed discharge. Cross-contamination prevention is non-negotiable on sewage jobs.
Remove & Treat
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
Structural drying follows decontamination. Then we rebuild everything we removed — drywall, insulation, flooring, baseboards. Your home comes back to pre-loss condition.

Why Choose 24/7 Water Damage for Sewage Cleanup?
Hospital-Grade Antimicrobials
We use Bio-Cide and Concrobium at professional concentrations. Not the watered-down retail products. Every surface that contacted sewage gets thorough antimicrobial treatment.
Hazmat-Trained Crew
Our sewage cleanup team is trained in IICRC Category 3 protocols and OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards. Full PPE, sealed equipment, proper procedures. This isn't a job for general cleanup crews.
EPA-Compliant Disposal
Contaminated materials go into sealed biohazard bags and get hauled by licensed waste facilities. Not dumped in a regular dumpster. Proper disposal, documented chain of custody.
Cause Identification
We don't just clean up — we help identify why it happened. Sewer camera inspection, root assessment, backup prevention recommendations. Fix the cause and it won't happen again.
