Sewage Backup Cleanup

Do Not Enter the Affected Area

Sewage water — also known as "black water" in the restoration industry — is classified as a Category 3 biohazard. It contains E. coli, hepatitis, and dozens of other dangerous pathogens. Direct contact can cause serious illness. Keep children and pets away from the area entirely until our certified technicians complete the cleanup and sanitation.

Insurance and Sewage Cleanup

Coverage for sewage backup varies by policy. Some standard homeowner's policies include a sewer backup rider, while others require a separate endorsement. We'll help you review your policy and document everything required to file a successful claim. In many cases, restoration is fully or substantially covered.
