A sewage backup in Virginia Beach 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
Stop the Flow
Our crew traces the sewage backup to its source and stops it. If a sewer line camera is needed, we coordinate that. No point cleaning up if the backup hasn't been stopped.
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.
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.
Drying & Restoration
Structural drying follows decontamination. Then we rebuild everything we removed — drywall, insulation, flooring, baseboards. Your home comes back to pre-loss condition.

About Our Virginia Beach 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 Virginia Beach response.
