Emergency response
How the first visit for emergency sewage cleanup works
The first visit is about stopping the damage, not finishing the job. Cleanup and sanitation after sewer backups and overflows. Sewage is Category 3 black water, so affected porous materials are usually removed and the area disinfected.
Once the emergency is under control, the work continues as standard sewage cleanup, with documentation for your insurer at every step.
- Extract sewage and remove contaminated materials
- Clean and disinfect all affected surfaces
- Dry the structure and confirm conditions
- Bloodborne pathogens
- Bacteria and viruses in bodily fluids and sewage
- Sharp objects
- Odor and air quality problems in enclosed spaces
We do not promise an arrival time we cannot keep. We confirm availability for your address and give you a realistic estimate on the call.
