Service solutions

The Steps of Proper Sewage Cleanup

Sewage cleanup follows a strict order: contain, remove, clean, disinfect, verify, then dry. Skipping a step can leave pathogens behind long after the smell is gone.

24/7 Emergency Sewage Cleanup experts in South Whittier, CA

Removing Raw Sewage

Sewage is pumped and vacuumed out with equipment reserved for contaminated water, then disposed of properly.

Tearing Out Contaminated Materials

Anything porous that absorbed sewage, like carpet, drywall, and insulation, is removed and bagged.

Cleaning and Disinfection

Concrete, framing, and tile are cleaned and disinfected with EPA-registered products at the correct dwell time.

Odor Removal

Air scrubbers and odor treatments clear the smell so it does not return once the area dries.

Confirming the Area Is Clean

Cleanliness is checked, sometimes with ATP swab testing, before drying gets the area ready for rebuild.

Rapid dispatch process

Customer stories

What Sewage Backup Callers Said

Main line backed up into the basement shower and floor drain. The crew showed up in full suits, sealed off the basement, and cleaned it like a hospital. No smell after they left.

Carmen E.Main line backup, basement

Honest about what had to be thrown away and why. I appreciated the explanation.

Steve R.Toilet overflow into finished room

With kids in the house, I wanted it contained. The plastic barrier and air scrubber kept it all downstairs.

Jenna P.Sewage backup, family home

They recommended a plumber to camera the line afterward. Turned out to be tree roots. Glad we found it.

FAQ

Common Sewage Cleanup Questions

How do you classify contaminated water like sewage?

Sewage is Category 3 water, the most contaminated class. It contains bacteria, viruses, and parasites and requires protective gear, removal of porous materials, and disinfection.

Is it safe to stay in my house during sewage cleanup?

It depends on the size of the backup and where it is. Small contained areas may be fine with containment in place. Large backups, or households with infants, elderly, or immune-compromised people, often warrant staying elsewhere.

Can I clean up a small sewage backup myself?

A very small hard-surface spill can be cleaned with gloves, boots, and a disinfectant. If sewage reached carpet, drywall, or a large area, professional cleanup is the safer choice.

Does insurance cover sewage backup cleanup?

Many standard policies exclude sewer backup unless you have a specific sewer or drain backup endorsement. Check your policy with your agent.

What causes sewage to back up into a house?

Tree roots, grease clogs, damaged pipes, and city sewer overloads are the usual culprits.

Is A Water Damage the sewage cleanup company?

No. A Water Damage is a free referral service connecting you with independent, licensed and insured local contractors who do the work and bill you directly.
