Frequently asked questions

Is sewage backup dangerous to my health?

Yes. Sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause serious illness. Category 3 water requires full PPE, containment, and professional sanitization—never DIY cleanup.

What causes sewage backups?

Common causes include municipal sewer line overload during heavy rain, tree root intrusion, clogged main lines, and failed backflow preventers. Aging infrastructure increases risk in many cities.

Can anything be salvaged after sewage backup?

Porous materials like carpet, pad, drywall, and insulation in contact with sewage are typically removed and discarded. Hard surfaces can be sanitized if treated quickly by certified technicians.

Does insurance cover sewage backup cleanup?

Many policies offer optional sewer backup coverage. Standard policies may exclude it. Check your policy and add sewer backup endorsement if not included—it's a common exclusion.

How long does sewage cleanup take?

Initial extraction and sanitization is typically same-day. Affected material removal, drying, and reconstruction may take 1–3 weeks depending on contamination spread.
