The work involved

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 International Falls, MN

Removing Raw Sewage

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

Tearing Out Contaminated Materials

Carpet, pad, drywall, insulation, and particleboard that touched sewage cannot be reliably disinfected and are bagged and removed.

Antimicrobial Treatment

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

Deodorizing After Sewage

After disinfection, HEPA air scrubbers and odor control treatments remove lingering sewage odor from the air and structure.

Post-Cleanup Drying

Some contractors use ATP surface testing to confirm cleaning worked. Then drying equipment runs until materials read dry.

Cleaned, sanitized, dried

What callers say

Sewage Cleanup Jobs Callers Shared

Our main line backed up into the basement. They sealed it off, suited up, removed everything contaminated, and the smell was completely gone.

Carmen E.Main line backup, basement

They explained why the carpet and bottom of the drywall had to go. Not what I wanted to hear, but it made sense once they mentioned what is in sewage.

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.

Common questions

Common Sewage Cleanup Questions

How do you classify contaminated water like sewage?

It is Category 3, meaning grossly contaminated. That category triggers full biohazard protocols.

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?

Tiny spills on tile may be manageable with protection. Anything soaked into carpet or walls should be handled by a pro.

Does insurance cover sewage backup cleanup?

Often only with a sewer backup add-on. Your agent can tell you what your policy includes.

What causes sewage to back up into a house?

Common causes include tree roots in the main line, grease buildup, collapsed or bellied pipes, and municipal sewer overloads during heavy rain.

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.
