A backup that needs more than a mop
Sewage water carries bacteria. Our crew wears protective gear, removes what cannot be cleaned and disinfects the rest.
Keep everyone out and let the crew handle it
Toilet overflows, tub drain backups and septic or sewer line problems all leave contaminated water. Carpet, pad and soaked drywall it reaches usually have to go.
We contain the area, remove affected materials, clean and disinfect hard surfaces, then dry the room. If the cause is the line itself, we tell you so a plumber can clear it.

Questions about this job
Can I clean it up myself?
Small toilet overflows of clean water, maybe. Sewage is different: it carries bacteria and soaks into anything porous. Keep children and pets away and call us.
Can the carpet be saved?
Carpet and pad that sewage soaked through are removed. Hard flooring can often be cleaned and kept.
Who fixes the sewer line?
A plumber clears or repairs the line. We handle the cleanup and drying, and we can work around their schedule.
