Our Sewage Backup Cleanup Process — Step by Step

• Step 1 — Emergency Call and Safety Assessment Call (346) 704-4232. Our dispatcher gathers critical information: the source of the backup, how much sewage is present, and whether the event is still active. We advise you on immediate safety steps before our team arrives.
• Step 2 — Arrival and Containment Our team arrives in full protective equipment, respirators, gloves, Tyvek suits, and protective footwear. We immediately establish containment of the affected area to prevent cross-contamination of unaffected spaces.
• Step 3 — Sewage Extraction All contaminated water and sewage is extracted using specialized equipment. This is not standard water extraction, the equipment used for biohazard situations is different from clean water extraction units.
• Step 4 — Contaminated Material Removal All porous materials that have been contacted by Category 3 water, drywall, insulation, carpet, padding, and in some cases subflooring and cabinetry, are removed and disposed of as biohazardous waste. These materials cannot be salvaged or dried. They must be removed.
• Step 5 — Structural Cleaning and Disinfection All remaining hard surfaces, concrete subfloor, metal framing, tile, are cleaned and treated with hospital-grade disinfectants and antimicrobial agents in a multi-step process. Surfaces are treated, allowed to dwell, cleaned, and treated again.
• Step 6 — Structural Drying After all contaminated materials are removed and surfaces disinfected, we establish a professional drying environment using commercial air movers and dehumidifiers to bring all remaining structural materials to dry standard.
• Step 7 — Post-Remediation Testing We test the remediated area to confirm that bacterial and mold contamination has been reduced to safe levels before reconstruction begins.
• Step 8 — Reconstruction We rebuild, drywall, flooring, cabinetry, paint, restoring the affected area to its pre-loss condition.
