Category 3 biohazard. Handled by the book.
Sewage backup is not a standard water cleanup. It is Category 3 water — the IICRC's classification for grossly contaminated water carrying bacteria, viruses, and pathogens. Handling it requires full PPE, EPA-registered antimicrobials, and strict containment protocols. Do not attempt DIY on sewage. Call us, and stay out of the affected area until we arrive.

Every job follows the same checklist. No shortcuts, no improvisation, no "we'll see how it goes."
Full PPE entry — Tyvek suits, full-face respirators, rubber boots, gloves
Containment of the affected area to prevent cross-contamination
Extraction of raw sewage using dedicated sewage-rated equipment
Removal and disposal of all porous materials that contacted sewage (carpet, padding, drywall below the flood line, insulation)
EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment on all surfaces, followed by a second disinfectant application
Structural drying and final verification testing
Before a single drop moves, we set up containment barriers and negative air to prevent spread to clean areas.
All sewage and contacted material extracted and sealed in biohazard bags for disposal per NY regulations.
Initial antimicrobial knockdown, followed by a second application after demo is complete.
Once the space is biologically cleared, standard drying protocol applies.
Final inspection and documentation for your insurance file confirming Category 3 protocols were followed.
Sewage cleanup typically runs $3,500-$10,000. Insurance coverage depends on the cause — backup from municipal line requires a specific sewer-backup rider; backup from your own line is usually covered.
Homeowners with a sewage backup — toilet overflow, main line backup, basement floor drain overflow, sump pit contamination. Do not enter the area; do not touch the water.
Check your policy for a 'sewer and drain backup' endorsement. Most carriers sell this as a rider. We can review your policy and identify what applies.
