Nobody wants to deal with sewage — the smell is overwhelming and the contamination risk is real. 24/7 Water Damage in Traverse City handles it so you don't have to. We extract contaminated water, remove everything it touched that can't be saved, treat remaining surfaces with antimicrobials, and restore your property.
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
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.
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 Traverse City Sewage Cleanup Services
Sewage remediation has strict protocols. We extract with sealed equipment, then remove all porous materials — drywall, insulation, carpet, pad. These go into sealed biohazard bags for proper disposal. Non-porous surfaces get scrubbed and treated with antimicrobials. HEPA scrubbers run throughout. Work zone held until air quality clears.
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 Traverse City crew arrives within the hour with full PPE, proper equipment, EPA-compliant disposal, and complete decontamination.
