Why sewage backups are different
Sewage contains bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that pose serious health risks. Standard wet-vac and mop cleanup is not safe and is not insurance-compliant. IICRC S500 Category 3 protocols require full PPE, containment, removal of all porous contaminated materials, EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment, and documented air-quality clearance before reconstruction.
Our sewage cleanup process
- Containment barriers and negative-air HEPA scrubbers
- Extraction of contaminated water with dedicated equipment
- Removal of all porous materials the water touched (drywall to 24" above water line, insulation, carpet, pad, baseboards)
- EPA-registered disinfectant application to all hard surfaces
- Drying with monitored moisture readings
- Optional third-party air-quality clearance before reconstruction
