Days 3-5Sewage Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions
Is sewage backup dangerous to my health?
Yes, sewage contains dangerous bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other pathogens that can cause serious illness. Category 3 'black water' poses immediate health risks. Never attempt cleanup without proper PPE. Call our certified technicians at online support for safe, professional removal.
What should I do if sewage backs up in my home?
Immediately evacuate the affected area, avoid contact with contaminated water, turn off electricity to affected areas if safe, stop using water fixtures, and call our 24/7 emergency line at online support. Do not attempt cleanup yourself due to serious health risks.
How quickly should sewage be cleaned up?
Sewage cleanup should begin immediately. Bacteria doubles every 20 minutes, and contamination spreads rapidly. The longer sewage sits, the greater the health risk and property damage. Our emergency team responds within 60 minutes 24/7.
What is Category 3 black water?
Category 3 'black water' is grossly contaminated water containing sewage, toilet backflows, or other sources of harmful bacteria and pathogens. It requires specialised equipment, protective gear, and professional remediation to safely clean and sanitize.
Will insurance cover sewage backup cleanup?
Many policies cover sewage backup with specific endorsements. Standard policies may not include it without additional coverage. We work directly with insurance companies and can help verify your coverage and manage claims.
How do you sanitize after sewage cleanup?
We use hospital-grade EPA-registered disinfectants, antimicrobial treatments, and specialised equipment. The process includes removal, cleaning, multiple disinfection applications, drying, and air quality testing to ensure complete decontamination.
