Why DIY sewage cleanup is not safe
Sewage can contain bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants that pose health concerns. Attempting to clean it with household tools can spread contamination to other areas of the property and expose you to harmful pathogens. Professional cleanup uses containment, appropriate removal methods, and sanitization to address the contamination safely.

Containment
Before removal begins, the affected area is contained to help limit the spread of contaminants to unaffected parts of the property. Containment helps keep the problem isolated while cleanup proceeds.
Removal and cleaning
Contaminated water and affected porous materials are removed. Affected surfaces are then cleaned. Porous materials that absorbed contaminated water often cannot be effectively sanitized and may need to be removed and replaced.
- Contaminated water extracted and removed
- Affected porous materials removed when necessary
- Surfaces cleaned with appropriate methods
- Unsalvageable materials documented and disposed of properly
Sanitization and drying
After removal and cleaning, affected areas are sanitized to help address contamination. Drying equipment is then used to remove remaining moisture, since lingering moisture can contribute to secondary issues. The area is monitored until moisture readings return to acceptable levels.

Questions
Sewage Cleanup FAQ
Is sewage cleanup covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by policy and the source of the backup. We cannot promise coverage. We can help document the damage and cleanup work for your records and the insurance claim process, but your insurer determines what is covered.
Can I just bleach the area myself?
No. Bleach does not address the full scope of contamination, and DIY cleaning can spread contaminants and miss moisture inside materials. Professional containment, removal, sanitization, and drying are the appropriate response to a sewage backup.
