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 York service.
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.
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.

Why Choose 24/7 Water Damage for Sewage Cleanup?
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.
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.
Dedicated Category 3 Equipment
We use extraction equipment that's dedicated to contaminated water jobs — it never touches clean-water work. No cross-contamination risk between jobsites.

Sewage doesn't wait for business hours. Our York crew responds around the clock. The faster we start extraction, the less material needs removing and the lower the restoration cost.
